    This is the link to video
    Firstontop com has the electric motorcycle, crane and car
    I am replacing the single motor and transmission with a high powered wheel chair motors and wheels.
    The wheels chair motors were from a wheelchair rated for 700lbs.
    I will have a much better control of the forklift from a very slow crawl up to five miles per hours.
