I wasn't having any luck finding the rpm/volt constant for the ME0201014201 motor so I went straight to the source and emailed Motenergy. I am told the motor should run at 2200rpm with 48v. I wanted to go with a large high pitch prop for the regen, and figured on around 1300 shaft rpm. I like large slow props anyway. Seems like they would be a bit more efficient. But outboards typically turn the prop around 3600rpm, right? So really... would a smaller wheel turning at 2200rpm at full power be so dreadful? My Atomic was spinning the 3 blade folding prop at around 1800rpm. I might just jump on the direct drive bandwagon. Any thoughts? A thrust bearing and a flex coupling, and there's my transmission. I like the idea, just was put off by the motor speeds. Direct drive Lynch guys... what speeds are you running? I am starting the project in about 3 weeks, so I got to decide now. I can get along with not so great regen... it won't be so great on my slow boat anyway. If I have to just blow it off completely, well, that's okay I guess.
