Yep. That looks right. Obviously it's a different motor for 12 and 24 volts.

The power required will depend on the terrain. Scooters will need to climb quite a slope for a short distance.100 or 200W may do on a good surface.

1. 24V is better than 12V because the current is half so there are fewer resistance losses. Trams use about 700V, now that is a thing to aim for.:)

2. Ah is the battery capacity so a 20Ah battery can give 1A for 20 hours or 2A for 10 hours. It is amps * hours NOT amps/hour.

The motor shown does appear to have no rear bearing and will need a matching gearbox to work.

so a 200watt motor by 2 for each rear wheel should do and average backyard?

I got a 150ah battery... not saying where from..... anyway going to use that so 12volt at leats say 40amps (allows for losses and 2 * 12volt *40amps is 480watts as opposed to 400 for the 2 motors) gives me about 4 hours runtime.... now to find a way to charge those suckers quickly too

hey guys and girls, just a quick question about torque.
lets say I have a motorised device that total weight is 180KG(please use metric) if it was a 4wheeled device with top speed of about 5km and rear wheeled driven how much torque would I need to push the dang thing on a 45degree incline?
need info for a project not for homework (still haven't tried to get a qualification yet lol)

What speed is 5 km? That is a distance.

Assuming no friction except for gripping, one can coast without using any power on a level surface. Calculate the power needed to climb the incline and solve for the torque.

Can you take it from there?

Half the torque needed if you have two wheels.
