Hi Bill,

Does GE make a 25 to 30HP SHUNT wound motor at 3500-4000rpm 90V of a
similar size?

Does GE sell individual motors for under $2000?

I am working on a Hybrid conversion and so far the best motor that I could
find is a 96V Kustov Shunt motor but I find the speed regulation (from the
curves) to be rather poor.  I prefer a shunt mmotor for regen.

I used surplus GE shunt motors in my previous conversions and liked them a
lot.  

Thanks,

Ron
