The XHT80 HIGH TORQUE Motor is a high-torque hub motor designed by Rage Mechanics for high-power electric scooters, primarily the Weped SST, SSGT, and FS. 80 mm magnets, 10 mm² phase cables, 6000 W nominal: this is the range we install on our own racing machines and those of our customers who want a motor that can handle a high-power controller without overheating or losing performance.
Who is this for?
You want violent standing starts, strong climbing ability, to ride with a load, or use dual motors without ever feeling the motor struggle. The top speed is slightly lower than the HIGH SPEED version, but the responsiveness is incomparable.
Technical specifications
- Type: high-torque brushless hub motor (long winding: fewer RPM but much more torque, for crisp starts, climbs, and heavy riders)
- Magnets: 80 mm
- Phase cables: 10 mm²
- Nominal power: 6000 W
- Hall sensors: yes, compatible with VESC / 3Shul / stock controllers
- Rim: original Weped rim or Rage Mechanics CNC rim (optional)
- Weight: approx. 9 kg
Compatibility
Compatible with original Weped rims and the Rage Mechanics tubeless CNC aluminum rim (select "with rim" option on this page).
Fits on: Weped SST, SSGT, and FS (direct fit, no modification required).
Is your scooter not on the list? Our motors adapt to most machines on the market: the spacing and axle length can be adjusted with custom-machined axles and spacers (stainless steel axle kit, spacers), and we regularly adapt these motors to models not listed here. Send us a photo of the swingarm and the original motor with the measured swingarm opening: we will confirm feasibility before shipping.
What to consider around the motor
- The controller: this motor is only worth it with a controller capable of feeding it. A VESC controller (3Shul and compatible) controlled by our SmartDisplay allows you to adjust current and curves to exploit it; a stock controller will work but will limit the power.
- Wiring: 10 mm² phases require high-quality connectors (8 mm bullets) and a clean harness — see our braided sleeves and connectors.
- Rim and tire: choose the "with CNC rim" option if you do not have an original Weped rim to reuse.
- Ventilation: for intensive or competition use, our motor ventilation kit mounts to the cable-side flange and significantly improves cooling.
Options
Without rim: you reuse your original Weped rim. With CNC rim: motor delivered pre-mounted on our black anodized tubeless CNC aluminum rim, which splits in two for quick tire changes.
Manufacturing and warranty
Each motor is checked in our workshop in Lyon before shipping. We race with these motors, and feedback from our riders is used directly to improve the range. Fast shipping in France and Europe, technical support via email for controller selection and tuning.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between XHS and XHT?
Same housing, same magnets, two different windings: XHS (HIGH SPEED) prioritizes RPM and top speed, XHT (HIGH TORQUE) prioritizes torque. With an identical controller, an XHT starts harder and heats up less on hills, while an XHS has a higher top speed.
And between 75, 80, 90, and 100 mm?
This is the width of the magnets: the larger they are, the more torque the motor produces and the more current it can handle without overheating. 75 is the standard, 80 is a step up for heavy riders, and 90 and 100 are reserved for very high-power configurations (very high-power controllers).
Do I need to modify my Weped?
No for the SST, SSGT, and FS: the motor mounts in place of the original. For another scooter, it is almost always possible with adapted axles: contact us with your swingarm opening measurements.
