what was your experience? i am deciding between 3 sellers at the moment
shinegle
foshan uni technology
green motor technology

all from alibaba, i want to convert a 1990 Volkswagen beetle

Did you ever buy a motor from alibaba ???

Did you buy from any of those options? I'm considering buying from one of them too...
What was your experience with your conversion and the kits from those sellers?

I bought From Foshan Uni - 30kw Electric Pmsm Motor Motor Controller Kit For Electric Car And Boat - Buy 30kw Electric Car Motor,Electric Motor For Boat,Kit Electric Car 30kw Motor Product on Alibaba.com

He says it is a 30 KW motor but I suspect it is rated 17kw and perhaps 25kw starting off on a cold day. The Guy Tony is a very dishonest guy but he is no different than all of the sellers on Alibaba -

I like the motor it is only 30KG and the controller is state of the art - I have a few weeks to go before I can test drive my 800 KG 1986 Honda City Convertible but I have run the motor in the car up on the jacks and it seems quite OK.

He is a real time waster - I ask him 3 questions and he answers only the last question? I am going to bed when he starts answering his emails so it would take me many days to get a straight answer out of him - If you can get a Chinese speaking friend to call him up you might make quicker progress - You can buy standard motors from guys like EV west but they cost a lot, They are heavy and a lot of them pump air through to keep cool - Tony is perhaps got a lot on his plate I do not know but his price is good and you need to do your own do diligence in choosing the right motor from him or any other supplier., look at the documentation and the manual etc. ask questions but I think all electric motor suppliers bar none exaggerate there products performance. If I get my Honda city certified and licenced I will do up my 1991 Townace van next and will perhaps go with one of his water cooled electric motors. Rule number one pay direct through Alibaba., you get good protection that way.
