I need information about witch forklift motor it's the more appropriate to reach the distance and speed. I will keep the manual transmission......that's means that I don't need a motor with 15.000 RPM

I wasn't referring to the max RPM of the motor, I meant the HP or Kw output. Cruising at 100km/h requires much more power than at 50km/h. No number of gears will make a 5HP motor push your car at 100km/h if your car requires 10 or 15HP to maintain that speed. That's not even considering the power you would need to accelerate at a reasonable pace.
Looks like I underestimated forklift motor's power output, anyway.
Would you be doing all the work? That budget would be lucky to cover parts alone.
