I saw them in Autobloggreen and their products seem to be good.

Has anyone dealt with them or used their product? I'm looking at their "MID/FULL SIZE CAR" kit. Operating voltage seems rather high though.

Not me but I did take a quick glance at the web page.

Lot of Cad drawings.

I would have to make some calls first.

Good luck with that. I called but all I get an an aswering service to leave a voice mail. I called at least 6 times already.
I'm trying to figure out if the motors are AC Induction.

Dialed the number published and C'est Voila! Human Contact

I just finished a very promising conversation with Mike Kasaba at Cal Motors today. He is a knowledgeable and quite personable individual with the company. They are in production now and will soon be able to produce much larger monthly numbers due to a recent affiliation with Parker.

They appear not to be geared to the DIY market, but they are up and running with a viable and very tidy design. I also found that they have a simulation program to assist with 90% accuracy what you might expect from the product in your application.

While they are a young company it is my belief that they have a bright future and good prospects.

Don't be so quick to right them off!

Hello. This is Mike Kasaba, CEO of CalMotors. Someone mentioned your posting so I am here to apologize for our phone system. We had 2 weeks of no receptionist and a backlog of calls to our mainline. We now have a new phone system that allows you to choose the department or dial by name.

The majority of our work is with OEMs and start-up vehicle companies that intend to produce high volumes of vehicles within the next few years. But I would be happy to take your call and talk through your requirements. Our systems use brushless Permanent Magnet motors as opposed to AC induction. Our inverters will drive an AC induction motor just as well as our permanent magnet motors, but permanent magnet motors are higher torque and lower RPM which fit better with conventional gearboxes and the balance of the driveline components.

Best of luck with your project.

- Mike
