    This makes sense,  you could pick something easy to get and affordable
like one of the ADC motors.   Heck you might even get ADC to do a Compation
discount.

    Golfcart motors aren't a great idea since they seem to cost a lot if you
buy them new and used ones aren't available everywhere.  In fact the last
time I priced a used GC motor (in Ohio) they wanted almost as much as a new
ADC with similar specs.
