some may know that my 900 watt beast motor blew up on a hill, pulling my rig with me walking besides it. tsk tsk. these currie motors are not ventilated, and are poor candidates for cooling solutions, given my power/weight/size requirements.
living in so cal, it's hot all the time, and i prefer to have a motor that is ventilated open with a fan for optimal cooling. worry about dirt/debris entering the motor is second. i've been doing a lot of research, and there aren't very many options for a high powered motor with a 10mm shaft, to directly mount the original currie sprocket on. so, i'm looking at motors with a bigger shaft, with an eye to put in a reducing method, using jaw coupling/spider assemblies, to fit my #25 chain setup/investment, if i cannot find a 7/8ID sprocket, made for #25 chain. comments/referrals invited.
