Second is 250cc-300cc equivalent. Basically an Nmax, or Xmax killer.
From that segment, people do expect real speed, and some semblance of a highway rideability.
This definitely needs above 10kw motor, which means liquid cooling, and bye bye hub motor.
Batteries need to be MUCH larger since what's the fun of riding on a highway if you can only drive 60km? Think of up to 10-12kwh options.
Huge batteries also assume longer charging, or higher currents. Since we already went with liquid cooling for motor, liquid cooling a battery pack is the next logical step, and same is for motor controller.
Charger circuit will likely have to be dedicated as you will likely go above 16 cells.
Weight will be an issue. If you go above 180kg (Xmax 300) you will scare off a lot of women buyers.
The dynamic options of the chassis will also become important, so more will go into non-powertrain parts.
Try to squeeze into $8k USD. In Asia, it's quite a luxury segment, so fit it accordingly.
