  So a permanent magnet motor is an induction motor?  (So many terms!)
I have a Yamaha 100 motorbike that has a starter/generator on it.  Not
terribly impressive but to have a bike in 1970 that started with the push
of a button was pretty cool!  Dad said his leg must've been tired the day
he bought it!  ;-)  It never really compared to his Hodaka 90.
