The treadmill here at work is opened up for maintenance so I took a look at the motor. Here are the specs:
3HP Continuous Duty @ 13vDC / 2672watts
It is 11" long x 4.5" dia, with a 1.5" shaft.
There is a also a fan connected to the end opposite the drive shaft.
So would this be a decent bicycle motor?
