Forklift is massive overkill for your application. Something likecan etek, at around 15kW is lighter and won't tear up your belts.
It wasn't meant to be. Maybe that's too small for a forklift? I have been wondering about a ride on pallet jack drive motor. They are mostly 24v -- I wonder if they could handle 48v.6-7 inch forklift motor ? Is that a typo ?
This motor has a PM stator. Palmtree, pull off the red/orange cover(if that's what it is) on the input for the transmission. There could be a opening to accept a splined or keyed shaft. This is what you would have to fit the motor shaft into for a direct drive.I googled etek, the only stuff that popped up looked like Motenergy. Either way, I have two ME1004 motors in similar implements, one in a Husqvarna riding mower. The main thing about it is that it's designed to put out some 3000RPM at 48V, it would be perfect. It has a PM rotor, so it is indeed quite a bit lighter than a forklift motor, but the weight can easily be added if necessary.
You are correct! It's a brushed motor, so definitely a PM stator. I was just servicing another Motenergy motor (ME0201014201) which is a BLDC, and it had a PM rotor so I confused the two.This motor has a PM stator.

I picked up a tennant motor 24v-72v 100A continuous for cheap on ebay, It looks to be a slightly derated ME0709. That I am planning on using for my tractor conversion.If budget wasn't an issue then the me1004 would be perfect.
