How to Choose the Right E-Rickshaw Motor

How to Choose the Right E-Rickshaw Motor

Power, voltage and torque - all explained

There are three things to look at when choosing an e-rickshaw motor.

Power (Watt)

For a passenger rickshaw 1000W-1200W is enough. For a loader or a hilly area, go for 1400W-1500W.

Voltage

The motor voltage must match the battery - a 48V motor on a 48V battery, 60V on 60V.

Torque

More torque means more pull on a climb. For a loader, choose a high torque motor.

Differential

33 inch and 42 inch - pick the one that suits the rickshaw chassis.
