Propulsion engine K13 DirectDrive

electricboating

The motor is meant for heavy vehicles or sportier conversions without a gearbox. It offers 300A, 65kW and 140Nm (double the torque typical for an 11") as nominal. This ensures long range for pickup trucks, buses and vans. Despite its size it can spin up to 4500rpm so the vehicle can stay at 2nd gear most of the time. Forced air cooling is standard and included in the price tag. The motor has no shaft mounted fan and is very quiet even at high rpm. In sportier conversions without a gearbox the motor can be directly coupled to a differential with a 3.5-4.0 gear ratio. Here the low rpm are not a problem and the 140Nm really make a difference.
