But first things first, I still have to win the bid, then have it shipped to me, then I get to try and pull it apart and clean it/rebuild if needed.

Hopefully someone will come along and tell you if it is worth bidding on first.

I would just say 'Get it cos it's big!' but that may not be the best advice by a long way.

There's a forklift motor I'm looking at for a Honda Trail 90. It's a Raymond Hyster 24 V, it's for the hydraulics, and is said to be 4-1/2" in diameter and 6-1/2" in length. That's all I got for info. Can anyone tell me anything about it, especially if it'd be good for a small motorcycle? ASAP, please.

Thanks,
Kurt

Sometimes those hydraulic motors have female shaft ends which might be a problem. Also, it sounds a bit small.

Is that one of the ones you were telling me about?

Looks good with a drive flange to use as an adaptor.

@sgtlethargic: It does sound pretty small; I have a treadmill motor here that is about that size that is only rated at ~2HP; I am probably going to use it on a cargo ebike but I doubt it would survive extended use on a motorcycle, unless its' going to be very light and would not be asked to go very fast or accelerate quickly.

Hey,
Here's the motor: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...%3DI%26otn%3D2

The seller gives very vague info, and I don't see the ask the seller a question link. If it wasn't enough power for a small motorcycle, do you think it'd kick ass on a beach cruiser bike?

Is the 4th picture the female shaft end? Would one have to make a splined shaft to go in there?

Thanks,
Kurt

The "Ask seller a question" link is there. Pictures are too small to see if there are splines in there or not.
