I would like to convert a walk behind snow blower too.
I think a ~3500 rpm PM "pancake" motor like an Etek would be best.
The "Manta" motors on Ebay are listed as 10hp, which I think would be
overkill.
You could buy a whole new gas blower for the price of just that motor.
There are some nice heavy ~3hp PM treadmill motors, but they are all
high voltage.

Combine a copious annual snowfall with a long steep driveway and you'll
understand why I've got such a monster of a snow blower sitting in my garage
(30 inches wide, 24 inches high, 8 horsepower engine). I'd like to go
electric, but I've never seen an electric snow blower that large. Has
anyone ever converted a gasoline snow blower to electric? My biggest areas
of uncertainty up front are motor sizing and motor control.
Thanks,
Bill
