Wow, I just put this up and I have something to add already.
I got a response from Jim at High Torque Electric.
He said that this forklift has a good motor, but the brushes and commutator are relatively undersized, thus it would be best for only a smaller vehicle.
Looks like if I use this motor, the vehicle will have to be more like a Geo Metro than an S10 or Ford Ranger.
All I really want is a roof and more wheels on the pavement than the electric motorcycle gives me.
I may end up going with a different motor than the one from this forklift. I am still planning on buying the forklift because it's such a deal and includes a BIG charger with it.
