First, if l is the classical electron radius, and M the mass of the electron then the velocity works out to 2.188E6 m/s (also assuming p stands for Pi). Now let us suppose that the electron is a toroid, which rotates about both axes. Let us further suppose that the Compton frequency of the electron is the higher of the two rotation rates, i.e. about the minor axis. Suppose further that the minor radius is the classical electron radius. Then the equation above is the surface rotation velocity about the minor axis. My reason for choosing a toroid is that it is the simplest closed form that has two states (charge?) when rotating about both axes. My guess is that the major radius is the Bohr radius in the ground state hydrogen atom, so that the ratio of the minor radius to the major radius is the square of the fine structure constant.
