I saw a post recently on a woodworking site about using the motor from a treadmill as a replacement motor for tools. Most treadmills use a DC motor in the 2 - 2.5 hp range. Speed control appears to be a solid state unit operated by a small potentiometer. There (must be) an AC-DC converter, since it plugs into the wall. What about using this as a motor on a small electric boat? It is much bigger than the usual scooter motors, has an integrated cooling fan, and all of the speed control. The question would be how to find schematics to use batteries instead of the AC power.
Thoughts?
