A little cold calling, a trip out to the 'burbs and $100 later, I got a motor!

photo (1) by thmnstrtexl, on Flickr
6.5 in diameter, 12 in length.

My friend and I were looking at it yesterday wondering whether it was too small? But as a 48V motor it should be fine, right? Remembering it only has to move 500-700kg of weight (I think this is something like 1100-1500lb?)

Anyway, a big step forward for us. I'm told it needs some reconditioning so if anyone has any good resources on how to do this then send them my way!

I'll start a build thread soon with all the details, as well as the blog.

Cheers Metrompg for your help so far!

Also, there's an identical motor at the forklift place, so if I have success with this one I'll go pick it up. Its small size makes me think it could work for an electric motorcycle as well...

Edit: If the photos don't work: the specs written on the side are:

TTL160C
48V S2 60min
98 A
1920 min-1 max: 1000 min-1
(the 'max' figure might have another 0 after the 1000, hard to tell as there's a scraped off part of the label)
Class H

Code: 2319713
