I will be rewinding the 3032 for 36v use of course. I think it will be enough to handle the job, but that is why it is called trial and error and not trial and success, lol!

a123 does sound good. I have really been leaning to that solution, although I have seen some really smoking deals on 18c and 20c lipo packs lately. I just don't want to deal with the charging nightmares mostly.

I will be using a pocket bike CV tranny with external chain reduction too. This way I can mess with gearing and still have a decent top speed. The biggest hurdle so far has been getting the reduction in a small enough package for the tiny bike, hence the pocket bike tranny. I only want 30mph on a 12" tire, so that is 6:1 reduction on a motor that spins only 6k rpm. The second choice is to take the belt drive system out of an old washing machine. I would just need to weld or make a hub carrier for the rear pulley.
