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? ---

Feus, here is the Big Daddy wheel (hub?) motor - [PML Flightlink](http://www.pmlflightlink.com/motors/hipa_drive.html) Might not be affordable 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. ---

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. ---

Gee, thanks for the help. Maybe I should call Bill Gates about my computer problem. ---

I can say it is possible as it is very little in weight. I’m sure it’s very doable indeed.
