ps:
Dudes been refreshing these same 2 ads for like 6 months now, so I figure either he's sittin on a whole case of of these or if not, he'd probably drop his prices a good bit to finally get one sold.

350w and 500w aren't good for anything bigger than a blender... They're well under 1hp.

If I wanted to spend the time I could do math, but the gist of it is this: 500w motor = about .7 HP but it will perform about equal to a 1.5hp gas motor (if the gearing is right) because electrics make gobs of torque.

They'd be ok for something around the size of a Razor scooter, but get much bigger and they become fairly useless in a hurry.

Yeah these aren't anything special but the links to the 2 motor ads I'd originally posted were huge 24/36 volt models the seller had claimed were originally used for some type of aircraft type application. They looked like they were about a foot long and probably would of made some awesome electric kart motors.

Yeah, 500w motor about .7 HP good for blenders or small children on Razor scooters.

For comparison countertop blenders can run up to 2,400w (3.217158 HP).
