also the only way Im guna do this is by having an independent diesel/petrol generator to charge batteries and increase distance per charge.
the biggest expense is the batteries and motor.
and just getting a forklift motor is not quite as easy as it sounds
but pleased you going to use a gearbox...thats my plan too...you guna use a clutch or go clutchless?
Plan is to go clutchless. When the gearbox isnt under stress it should be possible to change gears. Never going to go into reverse easily though so definitely need some wiring to reverse the motor.
Finding a motor is difficult. You can get kits which have everything you need for about £3000! It should be possible to do everything for under £2000 though which is my plan.
