Yah, the X1 was built by Ian Wright, he used to work for Sisco Routers. He now started his own company.

How much is that motor you are talking about? For full scale EV's, brushless DC is far to expensive, it really is out of the question. Also to mention the less reliable, more sensitive, much higher costs in larger motors, more torque ripple, and less control of the motor. Induction does win out for full scale EV's.

But WOW, 2250hp from 67kg! That's mad, but i don't think you could do it in a larger motor, it would be too hard.
