Hi Geo,

Likely not a good choice. You got a weight on that? Like 600 pounds? And you'd need a 330V (or 660V) battery. And then a controller, meaning a VFD. Add all that up, and you probably are not going to be happy with it. But I suppose it would work

thanks, just seen the motor on ebay. How does that motor compare to say an Netgain 11 ?
