D&D ES-5 high torque motor

[klanel]

Just replaced my Bandit with a ES-5 motor. Don't have much to say at this point but on a slight decline the Bandit would get up to about 28 mph. This motor got up to about 23 on the same decline. The ES-5 reacts quicker when I engage the pedal but I haven't changed the controller settings. If I press the pedal more, the ES-5 is much more responsive.

I'm reasonably strong but it was pretty tough getting this motor onto the shaft. 20# or so heavier than the Bandit about all I could do getting it into place. Lying on my back with not much space to work.

Took a before and after photo. The ES-5 a couple of inches longer than the Bandit.
