Make sure to put the motor heelside. Feels better than on toeside. Also for a single drive definitely go 6374 or 6384 if you want good power, the flipsky battlehardened line is a solid choice for affordable motors.

Thanks for the tip bro!

You might want to up the motor pulley size a bit if it’s possible. Belt skipping can be an issue on 15T pulleys, and on a single drive it’s pretty crucial, if the belt skips you don’t have brakes. Skipping is fixable with a tighter belt, but that means that the belt is more likely to snap, which also means no brakes.
You might want to consider the BN145 hanger with a single BN M1 gear drive if your budget allows.
Also @b264 is very experienced with single drives, maybe he can also give some thoughts
Yeah I’m not fixed on that, I’d be fine going up a few teeth.

I have no idea if this is true but ive heard that belts also skip more if using one even tooth number and one odd.
I would up the wheel pulley size assuming we’re talking about 110mm wheels
15/42T is good and you can use a slightly higher Kv motor which means more power
Alignment is important too

I’m using 85mm cagumas
Then yeah I’d go 16/36 or 17/36 preferably

If you do so, you might need a 140KV or 170KV motor instead of 190KV to not have a very high top speed. Gearing for the correct speed is important with single drive as the motor is working hard all the time. The motors aren’t gonna be cool when geared for too high of a top speed. If you are light I don’t think it’s gonna cause overheating in such short distances however.
Lower KV motors do generate more heat though.
As b264 says, 16T or 17T is a good idea for less belt skipping
Higher Kv motors are better, use the highest Kv that’s practical: put the top speed just above where you will actually be running at.
If you make the belt drive well, you can run 15:48 at 165A motor max and not skip the belts. They will break first 
But it has to be just perfect.

Pasta is good. Don’t eat to many. Haha
I was going to say something along those lines, for a “Bus stop commuter” and 1.5 mile ride, something like the Revel Kit would be a good option.

I agree, but not for that reason. A 6355 is plenty for throttle. The brakes will SUCK though, get that big can for the stopping power
