They tend to be very high RPM motors, or gear head motors.
Neither is good for wind.

Hi Ashley,

Forget wheelchair motors. Vertually all of them are complete motor / gearbox units (two per wheelchair) with the top of the motor having an electromagnetic brake built in.

Even the biggest ones stripped down run at too high rpm's to be of potential to us.

Cheers

Del.
