WTD: 12v motor
tegwin - 4/5/12 at 04:49 PM

Anyone have any 12V dc motors knocking about?

I need a pair of motors about 1/4hp. Must be 12v... (around 150-200W).

Cant find anyhting anywhere for sensible money!

You won't, not new anyway. I was paying £85 for them from Crouzet, over twenty years ago.
Have a look on ebay for wheelchair motors.

go ask your local mobility place.......

neighbour got a couple of complete chairs for next to nothing, as they couldnt be resold for some reason
motors were fine

Ive got the rear axle/motor assembly from a granny quad if its any good to you ?

If someone can get it to you, its yours.

Picked it up to build an electric go-kart for my son but hes 12 now& nearly as big (or small) as me so probably wont ever get round to using it now.

Thanks for the offer. I managed to find something on ebay that hopefully should do the job. :-)
