sidecars tend to hurt fe quite a bit. you'd be better off doing a trike. this motor sounds like it'd be great for a streamlined trike. I looked around, because I know 12" is huge for a forklift. this looks like a pump motor, and is more likely in the 7" range. also, the tiles behind it are likely 12", and it doesn't look that big in comparison. I would buy it if it works at all. worst case scenario, you could resell it to someone looking to do a full conversion.
