I'm looking at the 80kw motor from Freerchobby & an Orion controller Freerchobby make sever motors for about 15kw up to 100 kw. The only problem is you have to feed them, a big battery pack, I hope to use an 80kw motor, have to sort out new wt & balance, from a 150 lb VW to an 30 lb motor , but then you can put your batteries behind the motor, a good book on building li ion batteries is DIY Lithium Batteries by Micah Toll only a few $ but well worth it I'll keep in touch & let you know, my battery supplier from China just sent me note if I want more batteries get them now, China in the shit on power supply not enough supply for 3 days then turn off for 2 days, as I say good luck I'll keep in touch Robin New Zealand
