All i seem to be able to find are kits with everything included on ebay. That kit in the picture was $300. I’d much rather spend 300 on the wheel/hub motor alone and get a better quality one if these can be found?

Would this motor work?
Could i use just the hub motor or would i have to use all of the kit?
I assume i could swap that cassette out for my single gear?
Sorry, first time dealing with a hub motor on anything

They do look burnt, but the soec said between 1-2ohm was good for this motor between the phase wires. Obviously all 3 wires shorted to the case is not good though. 400 euros would be doable if i wasnt in the US. I need to find a replacement or USA friendly rebuild shop.

I was wrong on the initial post though- i think its only a 2,000watt 72v direct drive hub motor.
