The only reason not to buy it is that it doesn't look like it has an output shaft, so it's either a splined socket or a slotted drive plate that mates up to the pump on the forklift.
My 36v 2.5hp motor is around 35-40 pounds, 6.7" across and 9" long, at 36v it will make my motorcycle go 40mph and I figure at 48v it will make it go 55mph, 72v and I should be going around 65mph.

I road my motorcycle with 400 pounds of batteries on it and I would not want to have a 200 pound motor on a motorcycle.
