I don't think the motor even had an ID plate on it.

Almost everything in the project so far has been donated, scrap material, etc.

When that motorcycle frame was up for grabs, I was SO TEMPTED to grab it. Not that I need another EV or Motorcycle.....
Chris is doing a really good job with it so far - lots of mentoring going on too.
there was an ID plate on it, but it was near impossible to read...and from what was on there, google couldnt find anything that had the same id numbers or w/e....although i DID find someone else who was asking for more information on the motor pulled from a forktruck, so i know someone else wanted to use the same motor for the same purpose...

and yea, the only thing that i've really had to pay fore were the brake, though i did pay more then i probably should have; and the motor cost 50$ from a junkyard...

more then alot of mentoring....a HUGE amount, i came into this with no know-how of many things, and continue to learn!

ok, photos are now up...found HERE

More progress next time!!
