Thanks for the info, and yes this section makes more sense. I've revised the performance target to 'whatever we can get' in light of your information!

I have found an electric motor, picking it up this week.

I'm told it's a Nissan 48V 3.9kw 96A (does this mean amps? I'm not so good with these numbers yet...)

Does this sound suitable? It's from an old elctric forklift, already removed and I've been quoted $100... Sweet.
