IT seems the US has all kinds of opportunities. I've found here 24V ,
non-geared motors for scooters , for euro 80 each.

As the ORIGINAL importer of the M01 motors I can tell you that it was
a pain in the ass dealing with Unite Motors.  They only like dealing
in container quantities and only accept wire-transfers for payment.
Did I mention the sorry excuse for packing that they ship the motors
in (that usually results in some damage)?  Or how about when the Unite
rep tried to get me to transfer payment into his personal bank
account?  They only ship small quantities via DHL Air Express which
costs bucks from Shanghai (almost doubled the motor cost if I recall).

I'm surprised that Joe kept up the import business as long as he has!
He's a better man than I!   ;-)

Not that I don't like buying from Joe, but that was kinda my take on it.  It
seems that at the time Joe started selling them no one stocked them, but now
they seem to be more readily available.  I do know Joe did it just to
benefit the hobby and out of the goodness of his heart.  I for one would
back Joe's decision to not stock them anymore just because I know it puts
the financial burden on Joe.

The last time that I imported M01 motors, I had to buy
a case of 24 directly from China and pay DHL shipping.
Cost came out to be about $60 per motor.  I sold these
motors to help new tankers because TNC Scooter never kept
them in stock.

It now appears that we have five US vendors for MY1016Z3
or MY1018Z motors.

Which use 10 and 11 tooth sprockets on the motor (whichever is cheaper 
at the time) and 13, 15, and 17 tooth sprockets on the drive axles.

Marc,

They cost me $80 each to build.  I only sell five to ten per year.

I must build in batches of ten to get quantity discount on components
and PCBs.  I do not have $800 to build ten and have them sitting in
my
shop for one to two years.

For my son's tank I was lucky enough to get 4 Exide Maxxima batteries
for free.

Recently I went to a wheelchair service centre and got 4 used
batteries (about 80%) for free.
Just give it a try! Tell 'em what you need it for, show some pictures
and they will probably be very generous :-)

Free = good

I was using a 1:1 gear ratio on my M01s. I just ordered sprockets to gear
down to a 0.56 ratio. I want a little more control in my turns. It's nice to
be able to tune this pretty much at will. It cost me $6.00 for the
sprockets.

Steve,

I'm using 41 pitch chain coupled to the 9 tooth 42 pitch sprocket on the M01
motor.  I have an 11 tooth 41 pitch sprocket on my 3/4" drive shafts.  It
gears them down a little more, but the Sturmtiger has no shortage of torque.

3)  I just sold my last four M01 motors and TNC Scooter

 I am tired of lifting them in an out of the hull so I am going to

Brad,

 I'm under the impression you are in Canada, if so check out Princess
Auto and see if they have any SBS60 batteries. SLA 51 Amp, 12v. I
picked mine up for 39.99CDN each. They are big (41 lbs each) but two
would give you a big power reserve. You can see pics of them here:
