Unfortunately the eCycle website is... well... crap... so you'll have a hard time finding raw data. Previously the data for the motors was on the website, but it has been taken down. Dan seems to spend more time trying to make sure nobody copies his idea than actually selling it.

I can tell you for sure that the LM5 motor is going to be more expensive than the hobby motors you've been using, but it's a hell of a lot beefier. Unfortunately I don't have the proper equipment to do development along side of you, and having recently relocated to NJ I'm a bit far from the eCycle shop now, but I'd be more than happy to get back in touch with Dan and see if he can work up some price points, or better yet demo units to mess around with (whether that be just the motor, or the motor/turbo combo).

I'd definitely like a ticket to ride on the wagon, and I'd be happy to help in whatever way I can. I want one!

I'd love to find out more, and if he'd be willing to sell or lend me a unit for testing/development that would be great. Let me know what you can find out.
