I am looking for a hub motor that will take a golf cart size lawn tire.
Does anyone know where I might find this size of hub motor?
Does it exist?
i’ve been having a hell of a time finding hub motors. but they do exist. i’ll keep looking though.
That is a nice site Jack, but I was more interested in a hub motor like you can get to make a bicycle electric, but for a riding lawn mower / golf cart.

Plenty of choices.

Might not be affordable though.[/QUOTE]
thanks a ton for the link, this definately takes me to my next step 
If you get a price, lemme know what they’re asking.
San,
I would like to convert an older zero turn mower.
I would like to be able to use the hand levers to control the motors.
I need to know what size of motors would move the 300 lbs of man & machine. What type of controllers will work and any other advise for a person who knows absolutely nothing about electricity. Has this been done? Can it be done? I would like to have a solar chargeing station in my shed eventually.
Wayland of the White Zombie fame has a riding mower converted to electric. You should write him and see what he says about it.
What he said… 
Cheers
Gee, thanks for the help.
Maybe I should call Bill Gates about my computer problem.

Has it been done? I don’t know. I can say it is possible as it is very little in weight. I’m sure it’s very doable indeed.
