    i now have all my motors. i have checked the speed and they are all aound 125rpm. doing some numbers i come up with 243mm/sec with a 150mm crank. they are 250 watt. i assume this is continously rated. a lot more for short periods. i dont know the stall torque as i have not got a way of easily checking it. at 250 watts and 125 rpm i come up with a torque of around 20nM at a crank length of 150mm. this seems a bit low to me. or is that the motors are used in more of a intermittent mode.?

    In my case, for example, I get 60rpm on the output shaft of the gearbox, with a 10cm lever, for me it is enough

    no model nos on some of them so basing the 250 watts on the average rating for wheelchair motors. yhey are all around the same speed.
