The powerhouse
A brand new FB-4001 ADC 9" motor. I came across it on eBay still in the crate locally. It is a ADC 9" series wound DC motor. It's normally run in 15,000lb forklifts at 36VDC but can be run upto 192 volts (for a short time) to put out over 120hp. Most people us much smaller motors for bikes but I got this one locally for half price and figured, why not. :)
I got it for $1075. The shipping alone would have been $300 and they retail for $1900 so I am a happy camper assuming I can shoe horn it into that plus sized Honda frame. This motor is of course rediculous in a bike but again the intention is to re-purpose it into a small car later.
