Here is a list of Common DC Motors for use in EV conversions ranked by their continuous power.

Notes for Adding Motors:
If you are not comfortable in editing this wiki then post the information in the forums so they can be transferred to here.
These motors are ranked according to their power at their maximum voltage, statistics would vary using smaller voltages.

For sources I used mostly the manufacturer's, sometimes retailer's information - marcexec.

I do not know who will do this, but I personally would like to see this chart filled in completely, with the information that is missing. I would also like for someone to add a column of 1 or 2 websites, per motor, for best current purchase price and try to keep it updated. For example, I have seen many different websites that sell the Netgain Warp 9 motor ranging from $1,600 to $2,000
This chart has not been updated since 2010 and I know prices have changed since then. I believe this chart should be updated since it was last updated in 2010 and it's now 2012.
Feel freeto take a stab at it, bud.
if I could then would have, but I may be able to help with finding the websites for the cheap prices. I just need someone to set it up
I added the Kostov 9", because I noticed it was missing, but I need someone to please fill in the rest. Thank you. I was so scared of messing up the whole thing, but I got it done properly, don't worry anyone.
It would be great to see a section on Permanent Magnet Synchronous, BLDC, Axial Flux, and most of all, Hybrid Permanent Magnet motors.

That would go under AC Motor Selection... ahem.
