<p>I recall seeing something like that in an old Home Power magazine
article. I've done a few odd ball conversions, and that seems
like a good one to play with. Its not a "daily driver", not going
long distances or long hours, weight isn't a huge issue, and so
lead acid batteries might not be out of the question. Constant
speed too, so you might not need a super PWM controller. I'd
consider something in the 12 to 24 v range, and just go old school
with a heavy duty knife switch or over sized relay. If you start
it with the tines in the air, it shouldn't have a big starting
surge. <br>
</p>
<p>Or you could go 21st century, with 48v, Li+ PWM controller,
etc.... Another option to consider is using existing Li+ battery
packs, like Ryobi's 40 v lawn mower packs.....<br>
