Is that an electric motor from washing machine?
Nah, I bought this motor from a company called Golden Motor. It is purpose-built for EVs, although this was designed for things like golf carts and not necessarily motorcycles. It's a 3kw motor, and it looks like many washing machine motors only get up to around 1kw max, which I don't think would be quite up to the task
Looks awfully similar. ;) Do you have a speaker attached going "potato potato potato"?
sound bite of a guy just speaking the words "potatopotatopotato" haha
