wheel chair motors wanted

[muchalucha]

ok , i created this account when i began construction of my HW , as its my first HW im not spending a lot of money. I looked into bosch motors but they are all too expensive for a first bot.

So my question is , does anyone have a pair of identical or similar wheel chair motors , pretty much any size , voltage (up to 48V) and speed as long as they are similar . im not sure of a price so name one .

Ive already looked all over ebay , friday ad and other places , unless i can find somebody to buy them on my behalf , i cant order of ebay as im 14 and my mum hates the thing with a vengance !

I dont mind what condition they are in , but any wheel chair or electric mobility scooter motors would be a god send .

Re: wheel chair motors wanted

go to a mobility shop they often have spares might be more expensive but you will know the history of the motors

Re: wheel chair motors wanted

ive been to every mobility shop i could think off , they all want to sell me spares at 300-400 each and they all said that broken units (ie the brushes are gone which is easily repairable) are sent back to the manufacturer

They're nuts. I got a pair of old motors with the wheels attached for 30 euros from a mobility shop (thats 26 pounds roughly).
