Home Brew / Re: Newbie question: Can I use batteries off an electric wheelchair?

Sorry, question now n/a as some F#*k stole both units as well as the batteries. We do however keep getting them in where I work, so I'll keep my eye out for any more that come in as I'm trying to do this project on the cheap if at all possible. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for your input. I will get rid of it then and keep looking for something more appropriate.

General Discussion / Newbie question... will an ac air compressor motor work for ev?

Hi Everybody,

I have a AC GE air compressor motor, model number 5KCR48TRZS, part # c-mo-3020, v=115 or 230, HZ=60, A=15 or 7.5, RPM=3435. It comes with an "automatic protector" warning about restarting.

Would this motor work for a small (175cc) dirtbike? The bike's bottom end is intact so I would like to keep the transmission. Possible?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Paul
