How would I go about powering a 12amp 120volt motor with a battery?
Basically I want to take a corded electric motor and slap it on my bike.
The motor I have is
120 volts
12 amps
1440 watts
and it's DC making it convenient for batteries.
I was wondering how I would go about or what I should look into to powering this corded motor with a battery to make it mobile.

The motor was designed to work with 120VAC power. When you plug it to 12VDC, it lose a lot of power. I used a 24VDC for my bike and 2 12VDC batteries connected them in series. It work great and was a fun project.
