I recently came across a reference to the Rabbitool AC electric motor, and a further note about it having been licenced to Sanyo. I'm curious to know a little more about these motors and their controllers. The use of an AC motor on an ebike appears to make a lot of sense (so long as it doesn't need a 10 mile mains lead ). I have never noticed any ebikes that are advertised with this technology, but I'm surprised that this is the case if the technology exists, especially as on the face of it it offers many potential advantages (much wider torque spread, more effeciency, much better potential for regenerative charging etc.)
Anybody out there able to enlighten me further about this?
Cheers, Phil
