The shop built fork lift inspired me to conduct some more research. Looking at the prices of used wheelchair/scooter motors, controllers, and joy sticks it started to really add up.
So with a little bit more research I found a used 1500# PRESTO for $499. It's about an 8 hour drive each way so fuel, meals, and one night in a cheap motel would cost me real close to $250. I believe the total would be less than just the materials and components. In addition that does not include my labor.
