I desperately need 2 matching motors and gearboxes, 12V that can move a person and steel frame, thinking of golf cart or mobility scooter motors.

PLZ help

Does it have to be 12V? I can get you a pair of 24V motors with wheels
and gearboxes attached tomorrow, I don't know if they'll be up to
moving a person at 12V though.

What motor/gearboxes are they, and how large are the wheels?

I believe they're mobility scooter motors and gearboxes, I think about
750W each, attached to front go-kart wheels (about 10"). They're in
storage at the moment, but I can pick them up on the way in tomorrow
if you want them.

They're in the space now, underneath the woodworking bench.

Hi Chris,
Have a look into this concept in relation to your traction design:

And look into the work done in this field so far:

A synthesis out of them,perhaps?

Best of,
