I've just got the gearbox off the engine and connected up the 12V system, so the motor is next to do. Also I just bought "Build Your Own Electric Vehicle" from amazon, but nothing on Forklift motors or home built controllers!

I've just phoned a guy in Plymouth who has a wrecked 48V forklift coming in tomorrow.
Does anyone know what I should watch out on the motor, past about 10" in diameter and sturdy?
The engineer who will be making the gearbox adapter says to try and find a flange mounted motor.
