I am also using a forklift motor. It is an 11" GE from a Hyster lift. I am running at 144 volts. The only thing I did , was wipe the grease from it. It is in a Ranger. It is heavy 250 pounds. The price was $50 from a lift repair shop. That is what they thought is was worth for salvage.
While I was there I got the pump motor. It is an 8" GE 100 pounds. Price was free. In the past few weeks I put this motor in an MGB. Running it at 120 volts and have a fan to blow air through it.
Use all the money you can for lithium batteries. The cheap lead ones I have are not worth the money for use in an EV.
