Default Re: Electric Cordless Mower Motors

Well, the seller decided he forgot he had a doctor's appointment today, so that didn't work out. <sigh> Maybe tomorrow, if the weather holds up. We got a storm brewing to our west and heavy showers are forecast. Yeah, I had to ride home from work in the rain.

Thing is, I don't know if these motors have enough torque. I'm also thinking they're direct drive, so no gearing. No gearing, no torque? 1200 watts sounds good, but how will it be under load? Can a hub motor be an example of direct drive performance? If so, eeeuuu. Even the wife likes more neck whipping torque and the speedy acceleration, although she just loves sneaking around with that hub thang.
