Hi Roger, So someone with a Lectric Leopard (like me) or many VoltsRabbits with 96V of batteries could get more performance than a 144V/Curtis system by going to a 96V Kostov sep-ex and a 500A Zapi? [whimper] Then why am I carving sheetmetal to make room for 120V (with series Prestolite) in my Leopard? Does anyone know how big these motors are? (I fund nothing on the CanEV or EVParts sites.)
