RE: (ET) Motor Specifications

["Elie, Larry (L.D.)" <lelie ford com>]

The speeds are listed in the online literature.  My recollection is 7 mph 
top speed for most of the 'full frame' models, and 8 mph for the E20 and 
I5.

Motor HP is another story.  It has been reported at 20 HP for short 
duration, but if you figure out when the thermal overload trips and back 
computed the continuous HP, my E12 is 4 or 5 HP.  The deck motors compute 
to about 1 HP by the same method.

Hi all,

Part of the reason I wanted an Elec-Trak is that it looked like a good 
intro
into electric vehicles. I'm real curious as to what the specs are on the
various motors. I have looked thru the literature at elec-trak.org (awesome
site) and searched thru the archives of this list. I've seen the question
asked, but never really answered (I think). Anyone know what the specs are?
(HP, max speed, etc).
