Electric motor

[Dave Mann]

That electric motor is interesting, somebody has gone to the trouble of casting a nice bell housing, but then whats the gearbox for? Most electric motors are reversible or does the motor lack the grunt for direct drive. If they went to the trouble to cast one bell housing maybe there are more of these about. It's not clear enough to tell whether it is sand or die cast, if the latter that would be expensive for a one off.
