There are two companies (not including Briggs & Stratton) making motors to 
Cedric's design, the Lynch Motor Company (London Innovations) and LEMCO (ASMO 
subsidiary). Cedric left the company that bears his name after dissagreements 
over improvements to the motor, which would have improved reliability and 
decreaced watantee claims. He set up a new business with help for the biggest 
customer for his motor, ASMO, who produce electric karts. The two companies 
have settled their differences and are now co-operating. Lynch have not 
updated their site for a very long time and Lemco are only a little better. 
Neither company has website expertise in-house. 

My motor is the double magnet version (60 volt) with a new Silver/Molybdenum 
disulphide loaded brush compound (lower friction and lower voltage drop). In 
addition it has a reinforcing band (to special order) for higher rpm 
operation (higher voltage) and a different magnet size/shape. The different 
magnets lower the rpm-per-volt and raise the torque-per-amp. The magnets may 
or may not become a standard fittment or option.

All this extends the greater than 90% efficiency range down under 24 volt and 
raises the maximum safe voltage (and hence available power) to something like 
80 volt.
