Took a 6 mile drive down to Ontario California for a test drive of one HPEVS cars they have onsite.
HPEVS are the makers one of the most popular AC motor systems used in DIY electric vehicles today. The AC-50 motor runs on 96V and is designed for small to medium sized cars under 3000 lbs. They also have the AC-51 which is designed to work on a 144V system.
The AC 75 motor is an 9" motor with higher performance that is capable of producing 67 peak horsepower and 180 ft-lbs. of peak torque at 96 volts. There will also be an AC-76 for use on 144V both due out this December.
The weight of the AC 50 motor is around 115 pounds.
The weight of the AC 75 motor is around 180 pounds.

i just found the usb drive containing most all this technology. was my dads business
That music melted my ear wax.
I'm amazed at how small these motors are.
soo wait.. this guy kept the manual transmission and not busted it with the electric motor? I want another driving experience of this car… this feels like it really special and needs to be explained better.
Which motor should i use i.e Ac-75 or AC-76 for my bike project?
Because both have 180ft/lb torque rated, rpm 5000-10000
But difference in horsepower?
Which should i use?
Thank you!

The idle feature is very interesting. I'm sure it helps replicate the feeling of an engine, but it doesn't seem like it would have any practical advantage other than that.
Also, he says there's not much difference between the AC-75/6 and the AC-50…one is rated at 120 lb/ft of torque, the other at 180. That's 50% more torque – I'd say that's a pretty big difference.
Son of Darren Seymour here, Brian's brothers son, I do not permit the use of my fathers electric motors in these cars or shop in Ontario. I grew up at that shop, after my fathers death Brian and Tony dis owned me for no reason. don't believe me, Bill in in the passenger seat for the test drive.
The AC-50 motor is in my Porsche 914-EV, and I'm loving it. It has a lot of muscle in 3rd gear on the freeway. Spins up to 90mph without breaking a sweat, and there's still more juice that will probably take me over 100 easily.
