SPIDER Automation | MY1020 48V 1000W Brushed DC Motor with Mounting Foot | Chain-Drive Motor for Electric Go-Karts & Scooters
Overview
The MY1020 48V 1000W Brushed DC Motor is designed for chain-driven electric vehicle and mechanical drive applications. This version includes a mounting foot for installation on a compatible vehicle frame or motor mounting platform. Its integrated 11-tooth drive sprocket supports mechanical power transmission through a compatible 25H / T8F chain.
With a rated voltage of 48V DC, rated power of 1000W and rated speed of 3000RPM, the MY1020 can be considered for electric go-karts, scooters, mini bikes and custom vehicle projects. It uses brushed DC motor technology and therefore requires a compatible brushed motor controller rather than a BLDC controller.
Technical Features & Functional Characteristics
- MY1020 Brushed Motor: Uses a conventional brushed DC motor design for electrically controlled mechanical drive applications.
- 48V DC Supply: Designed for a compatible 48V brushed motor drive system.
- 1000W Rated Power: Provides the stated power rating for suitable electric vehicle and mechanical drive projects.
- 3000RPM Rated Speed: Defines the motor’s rated rotational speed for transmission and driven-load planning.
- Integrated 11-Tooth Sprocket: Provides a chain-drive output compatible with the specified 25H / T8F chain format.
- Mounting Foot: Provides a base mounting arrangement for installation on a suitably designed frame or support.
- Compact Motor Assembly: The supplied version is described as a revised design that weighs less than the earlier version and no longer requires the original version’s cooling fan.
Electrical Configuration & Motor Performance
The MY1020 is specified for 48V DC operation with a 1000W rated power and a 3000RPM rated speed. Its listed rated current is 26.7A. These electrical ratings should be considered when selecting the brushed motor controller, battery, wiring, connectors and protective components.
The motor must be operated with a controller designed for brushed DC motors. A BLDC controller is not a substitute for a brushed DC controller. Actual vehicle speed and mechanical output depend on the driven sprocket, chain arrangement, wheel size, load, battery voltage and controller operation.
Chain Drive & Mechanical Transmission
The motor is supplied with an 11-tooth drive sprocket specified for 25H / T8F chain. The sprocket transfers motor rotation to a compatible driven sprocket through the chain, allowing the motor to drive a wheel or other mechanical load.
- Chain Compatibility: Use a chain that matches the specified 25H / T8F format and the driven sprocket.
- Transmission Ratio: Select the driven sprocket tooth count according to the required output speed and torque characteristics.
- Chain Alignment: Align the motor sprocket and driven sprocket in the same plane to reduce uneven chain wear.
- Chain Tension: Maintain suitable chain tension and avoid excessive tightness that can increase mechanical loading.
Mounting & Installation Design
The supplied mounting foot provides a base for securing the motor to a compatible vehicle frame or mounting plate. The mounting arrangement should hold the motor firmly under acceleration, chain tension and operating vibration.
The mounting-hole pattern and hole dimensions are not included in the available specifications. Design the mounting plate around the actual motor foot and ensure that the sprocket is correctly positioned relative to the driven sprocket.
Applications
- Electric Go-Karts: For compatible chain-driven go-kart projects designed around a 48V brushed motor system.
- Electric Scooters: For scooter drive systems with compatible motor mounting, controller and chain transmission arrangements.
- Mini Bikes: For chain-driven mini-bike projects using a suitably matched 48V electrical system.
- DIY Electric Vehicles: For custom electric vehicle builds requiring a brushed DC motor and chain-driven transmission.
- Robotics: For mobile robotic platforms requiring a compatible high-power brushed motor drive.
- Water Pump Drives: For compatible pump mechanisms where the required shaft coupling, mounting and operating load match the motor.
- Hydraulic Pump Drives: For suitable hydraulic pump arrangements designed around the motor’s electrical and mechanical ratings.
- Custom Chain-Drive Systems: For mechanical projects using a compatible 25H / T8F chain transmission.

Installation & Operating Recommendations
For correct operation, use a brushed DC motor controller and 48V power system compatible with the MY1020’s electrical ratings. The motor should be securely mounted, and the chain transmission should be aligned with the driven sprocket before operation.
- Controller Selection: Use a 48V brushed DC motor controller suitable for the motor’s rated power and current. Do not use a BLDC controller for this brushed motor.
- Battery Matching: Select a battery system compatible with the controller’s input-voltage range and capable of supplying the required operating current.
- Electrical Wiring: Use appropriately rated cables, connectors, switches and protective components for the motor circuit.
- Mounting Foot Installation: Secure the mounting foot to a rigid support using a suitable fastening arrangement. Ensure that the motor cannot shift under chain load.
- Chain Compatibility: Use a compatible 25H / T8F chain and matching driven sprocket. Do not assume that visually similar chain formats are interchangeable.
- Sprocket Alignment: Align the 11-tooth motor sprocket with the driven sprocket and maintain suitable chain tension.
- Load Management: Avoid sudden overloads and mechanical jams that can increase motor current and heating.
- Initial Testing: Test the motor at low load and check rotation, chain tracking, mounting stability, vibration and temperature before regular operation.
- Electrical Isolation: Disconnect the battery before changing wiring, adjusting the chain or performing mechanical maintenance.
