Well, its kt (torque constant) is low, and to produce a good amount of torque it requires a LOT of amps. This means that you need good batteries, but even with good batteries runtime might become an issue. rtsbasic can fill in the details of this setup that I have left out, as he did run this motor for a while.
Basically, the 6s wouldn't be a good motor for a 'Pede, especially one with larger tires. The Feigao 380C 6L would provide plenty of torque and power, with a lower amp draw than the 6s, and still be pretty fast.
