My prototype twin motor goes over 50mph (top speed down hill in trials so far) and has a 15 speed drive train with a top end ration of 4:1

I used Wilderness energy hub motors and spent a lot of time hunting for them from various sources but eventually got them on EBay. Hub motors are out there and available in kits that include the controllers and lead acid batteries for about $400.
