Hi
Still running the forklift motor - I decided that if it was going to cost me £1000 I didn't need to run at anything more than minimum current on my Zapi! So I stuck with the 47v Nelco 132M motor.
Details of the motor are here, sort of:

The system is 96v 110Ah, just wet leisure batteries, which were £40 each.
I have another 48v forklift motor that is a little smaller, and older looking, but it has adjustable timing, which would be avantageous, maybe.
I'd like to give the other motor a run, but the thing is, swapping the motor is quite time consuming as I need to remake the plate, adaptor and battery trays, by the time I've done that I might as well convert a different, slightly larger car.
So I think that when the time comes, and I fancy a change I'll sell the rolling chassis with the motor and batteries in place, just remove the controller and charger....Or maybe I'll go for a 120-144v system with LiFe cells, and sell the lot, hmmm, decisions, decisions!
