What brand of tread mill is this on? just in case any of us wanted to get one for our selves.
If you ever used that motor at full power it would draw 205 amps, that is alot of amps! you would need 2/0 or 3/0 wiring, that is .40" to .46" diameter, so with smaller wire size you are never going to get full power out of that motor, so basically you are going to have a motor that will never be over loaded, and should never wear out, with that you should be able to up the voltage and be fine with 24V battery and speed controller.
