Where to get an electric motors to build your own electric car/motorcycle?

[Xaero]

Anyone know a good place to buy an electric motor to build an electric car or motorcycle with?   I used to have a fork lift motor myself but that thing weighed a ton and didn't produce enough power.  With all these electric vehicles hitting the market there has to be a solution somewhere that won't break the bank!

You might get a broader range of answers on on elmoto.net where the focus is more heavily weighted toward DIY projects. I know they just had a thread on a new motor that looked promising.

Electric Motorsports, based in Oakland, CA, sells complete motor/controller kits designed for a range of vehicles.  They built my first two electric motorcycles.  The motors and controllers worked well, even if the motorcycles, batteries and their BMS systems didn't.

Thanks for the info!  Hopefully the influx of cheap Chinese electrics will push prices down further.  3k is still a little heavy on the wallet.
