I think you would need at least 1000 watts output even in a light tourer. As speed increases power required increases exponentially. 1000 watts if your setup is 80% efficient would require you to pull 1250 watts from batteries. You could maybe get the efficiency up some but probably not much.

Here is an example of why 2s cannot do this.

2s=7.4v and 1250w / 7.4v = 169 amps. No battery can take that kind of draw and an ESC that could handle it would be huge.

On 4s you would still need 85 amps which is a little high. 6s would only need 56 amp which is very doable and would be easy on the equipment.

V * A = wattage pulled and W * efficiency % = wattage output from motor.

I believe this is all correct (someone correct me if I'm wrong). I'm still learning.
