Title: Sourcing wheel chair motors!
Post by: Joker94 on August 22, 2010, 06:08:54 AM

Hi guys

Where is it possible to get wheel chair motors from. has any one got any experience in finding them or herd of where you can get them from?

for my next project i need some and have not got a clue where to start, preferably local, i have seen them on the net a few times during searching but postage costs a lot.(2 or three times more than the motors in some cases.)

thanks for any help or details.

cheers

I got mine from e-Bay, two sets of them actually. You can find them with, and without wheels
