Was thinking they might make a great bike or trike motor without spending $100s on some kit.
Thrift shops and CL have them cheap all the time, but need to know if they can be hooked direct to a 12 volt battery.

I wasn't able to easily access the motor's info on the treadmill parts I have around here, so I can't give you an answer, and even then I wouldn't trust it over directly verifying them.
