which tools have the strongest (Torque) electric motors in them?
boarder_dude572 asked:
I’ve been working on a small car project and need to get a good electric motor for as cheap as possible. One that has good torque with possibly more than one gear, but also efficient on energy consumption.

a car`s starter motor has a lot of torque, it has to turn the flywheel in a car to get it started. It all depends, how heavy is your car? You could use an electric lawn mower engine or a weed whacker engine if the car is light enough, belt sanders have really good torque as well, and it aalreadykind of looks like a car lol. http://www.quezalteca.com/ BeachBum818
Horsepower= Torque X RPMs*(Conversion Number)
You should look for a motor curve.
You may not need a transmittion if you do not mind slow acceleration and a low range of speeds. You can use a VFD to set your speed it varries the current and thus varies the speed. http://www.myislandholiday.com/big-island-vacation-rental.htm Steve

you want it all, you can’t have it all. Tesla motors is working on it and their car cost $100,000.

few “tools” will have sufficient power for a car.
perhaps an industrial sewage pump. but these are usually optimised for constant running.
try a forklift motor that has been designed for traction purposes. this will also come with a suitable speed controller. but if is is for sale cheap it may need new burushes etc
saving money on a motor that is not optimised to the transmission and controller will mean more cost in batteries to get similar range and performance
Specialist electric motors are cheap compared to infernal combustion and will need less maintenance. AC motors will give better performance but may cost a bit more.
