The small PM motor is rated 2300 RPM @ 48v. The larger one will spin at ~2k RPM on 12v, but that's with no load (my own bench test), so I'm not sure it's a valid comparison to the other motor's "official" rating. (I actually don't know how an e motor is rated.)
Haven't talked to the forklift people yet.
I'll be away at GGP tomorrow and Sat., and busy Sunday. So next week, Plan A is to jury rig a coupler for testing and connect the small motor to the input shaft to see what happens at various voltages.
