Should I use for an electric sports motorcycle. I plan to use a junked existing sports bike alloy frame. Then add six lightweight 12V batteries.

I plan to ride the bike only a maximum of 50 km (31 miles) a day before recharging off the grid at my home. It must be capable of highway travel up to at least 120 km/h (74.5 mph)

I am asking basically if I should go with a triple phase AC motor for the top end power, or a DC motor for the off the mark torque?

Any other ideas, suggestions or comments appreciated.
