Just ran across a couple thin low power pancake motors http://www.goldenmotor.com/index.htm One a 75 watt and the other 180 watts. Very low Rpm. 1600 and 3300 ...

... Some delta trikes only drive one wheel normally, so you might consider using only one motor. If using two BLDC motors you should use a separate ESC for...

Elden (& all): I don't see why this would be so. Let me put forth my understanding of DC electric motors and you all can tell me where my logic is off. A wire...

Hugh, Your description of how the motor works is very good, but omits the no-load performance. A motor with few turns has a high Io (no-load current) because...
