While EV warriors are the motor of choice in the US they are not
necessary the best choice of motor.
They were the motor of choice in the US because they were very powerful
and freely available on the surplus market at very cheap prices.  
Against them they need gearing down this takes up space and may cost as
much as the motors

In Europe they are not really a option , but there are several good if
not better alternatives.
Wheel chairs , mobility scooters . electric golf caddies/trolleys [need 2
of these ] if bought secondhand they come with integral gearboxes saving
money and space and some even have suitable speed controllers and if you
are luckily a battery and charger to get you going.
As most are designed to carry 12 stone plus they are ideal for a
tank.
