Treadmill powered pusher trailer for bike
I have a 1.25 hp permanent magnet DC motor from a treadmill that I'd like to use in a bicycle pusher trailer.
What is the best way to do this? Since I have the PWM circuit board from the treadmill, it seems that I could simply install a 12v battery and an 1000w inverter on the trailer, and a throttle potentiometer to the handlebar but I'd like a more elegant solution, partly because the controller has behaviors baked into it for treadmill use such as a delayed soft start, and partly because I'd like to skip the inverter.
