So what are the Volt and Amp ratings on the motor? Also, how much does the vehicle itself weigh, how much hauling load is it rated for and what is it's maximum rated speed at 72V? How many Amps is the Controller rated for, and does it have a variable Voltage or a single 72V rating?

I don't expect you to have the answers immediately, mind...but once you do you'll be able to make some good guesses concerning the size of your new chassis, maximum speed and range, etc. Also, I recommend you take the take the 72V controller to a Golf Cart or other EV dealer-many controllers for powerful, low-speed vehicles have a built-in governor at the controller which can be bypassed/eliminated by an expert.

Three hundred bucks-great deal!
