I have not tried to deal with them, but most motor manufacturers are not interested in single or low-volume sales, or prepared to support them. These companies target automotive manufacturers, not do-it-yourselfers or individual racers. I don't know why they don't have a retail distributor, but perhaps no one has convinced UQM that they would have enough purchase volume to be worthwhile.Is UQM hard to deal with or what ?
These things should be selling by the hundreds to EV racers.
