The QS 205 V3 with 50 mm magnets is a common choice when a build needs several kilowatts from a spoked hub motor. Its 222 mm shell takes 36 spokes and bicycle-style disc brakes, so it can be laced into bicycle or motorcycle rims.
The motor carries two complete hall sensor sets, so a spare is already inside if one fails, plus a KTY83/122 temperature sensor for controller thermal protection. Speed depends on winding (kV) and wheel size.
Power levels are far above EU pedelec rules; it is meant for off-road, export or L-category builds.

FAQ
What controller does it need?
A high-current controller; the spec sheet lists 67A rated / 104A peak battery current and up to 326A phase current for short periods.
Can it run on 48V?
Yes, both sources list 48V as supported; top speed is lower than at 72V.
