Cor, How about a used Prestolite MTY-4001 570-250/200 36 Volt DC Electric Drive Motor Raymond Forklift from E-bay, they have ten available at just over $350 plus shipping. Heavy at 87 pounds with a 7/8 inch shaft and keyway, and bearings at each end. Plenty of openings for cooling air that need a screen over them. eBay item number: 350858345897
Here is another DC motor with a removable gear on the output shaft: eBay item number: 360573517531 I would like to build a three wheel vehicle so I could register it as a motorcycle if I kept it light enough. Something like a 1927 Ford car with a standard axle at the rear and a single front wheel. However, getting parts and getting moving is an issue.
