Met an etek motor enginer today.

Today I was working at some guys house and was talking to him a little, we needed something to tie a rope to, so he pulled out his golf cart then started to tell me that it was not exactly stock... that it has a 48V 15hp electric pancake motor in it! that it was a prototype from Briggs and straton from when he was a research engineer, that the Etek motor was based off this design but was not as powerful and that the main reason that it was not in production was that the Chinese company that was going to build it started to build it under their own name, got sued and now everything is tied up and no one is building it, he also had what looked like an Etek motor only it was about a foot long and had "stacked rotors" not sure the power output on it and he was not willing to sell any of them.
