Photos of the motor ...They are rated 24 volt at 60 amp 160 rpm and weighs 15 kg .A heavy motor built to last.
So using the correct drive pulley there is know need for a gearbox ...

Regarding the Batmobile it will be for show only ..
But I do have 2 more motors and may use them in an original C5 body and make up two more 24 volt C5s

Just had a try with Bat-mobile it runs great ,covered about 15 miles up and down hills checked out the motor and the speed controller and they where just warm . It runs very quiet and very fast .Well far to fast about 40mph I need to get it down to about 25 mph to get more torque out of the motor so just ordered a smaller drive pulley when drilled out and fitted will try again .Video and photo's to follow

Hi Chas,

Are you going to sell these motors and pulleys as I am looking at an alternative for my 24v conversion.

Thanks Lance
