For you folks looking for a powerful DC motor for your bicycle projects:
http://www.harborfreightusa.com/usa...oryName=SHOP EQUIPMENT&SubCategoryName=Motors
Only available in their stores, not online, and it's $99.
It's 12V, 28 Amps, so plenty of power. Most 12V stuff can handle 14-15V continuous, so I'm sure you could over-volt this motor with 18-24V for more power for short bursts. It's industrial-grade, so it may even be under-rated, and can handle more.
It has a 5/8" keyed shaft so it's compatible with common sprockets, which makes it very appealing!
I wanted to post this to you folks here in the electrics forum, as this may be a useful motor. I will get one myself when finances permit, for a hybrid setup.
