So I want to repurpose a Escoter motor to power a wood working multi shop tool. The Shop Smith to be exact. They have been around since the 40's and use mechanical gearing to change speeds with a 1 1/8 motor that is a bit under powered. They do have a $1800 upgrade kit to a 2hp Nova DVR type motor. But I thought a small compact 3000k 48 vote scooter motor would bring it up to over 3 hp. And I would be able to run on battery power if needed as as 48 volt 3k power supply packs are around 100 bucks as they are often found used and are the backbone to our telecommunication networks. So I am wanting to use a 48 volt 2k to 3k scooter motor with heat sink on it and a couple cooling fans as it is going to be encased in the head stock of the shopSmith. I am going to gear it up just a bit so my main shaft on the toll can make 10K rpm for shaping and routing.
I love the idea of this as it will have the ability to have a E Brake as well. I do not want the throttle cable so my question is what sizes potentiometer does these motors like a vevor scooter motor use. Do these motors have a good torque at lower speeds as well as higher. I am doing with or a2hp 3 phase electric motor and a vfr. But I love this 48 volt idea for many. Plus it is very hard to get shocked using 48 volts.
Any thought's or concerns and mostly tell me what size pot I need to run the motor rull rpm around 5400 rpm Also I have a nice 2x72 knife grinder powered by a treadmill motor that I want to rebuild using the same motor. So hit me with best advice and ideas
