Well, I've got a permanent magnet motor that's rated for 2 horsepower. Not sure how we'll end up gearing it.
The transaxle and motor from the wheelchair are pretty interesting! I haven't split open the transaxle, but I did take the motor off of it - which may have been a mistake. They connect the motor to the transaxle via a planetary set! This also happened to be full of grease (thus the reason it may have been a mistake). Part of it is plastic, and part of it metal; I don't think it'll take a LOT of abuse. I have some old bicycle gears that aren't on a bike at the moment; I was figuring to maybe use one of them if I can find a good ratio.
