Im new and researching....need help

Im looking at using this motor in an EV, ebay auction no. 140680419945, is it suitable? I'm planning to use 60 volt continious with cooling. Is 2ga. wire the right size? There will be more Questions......

WOW! that sure looks like a great motor for a light electric vehicle.

really light. The big expense according to my research is the controller for the motor.

Let me know how it goes.
There are not many people on this site who actually build much - I'm trying to find a source of people who have tested inexpensive solutions like you are trying.

I have given some thought to building an electric car but it would take a lot of work to figure it all out.
