Note: the Petite cannot be motorized because it is a light duty machine and not constructed to withstand the stresses imparted by the motor.
Being an engineer, I designed these machines to be truly unique in the marketplace and built with the same high standards as the hand crank models.
They are "high tech" drum carders having both infinitely variable speed AND reversibility features. The "truly variable speed" feature (not just two or three speed settings) is a God-send when working with fine fibers like alpaca, merino and cashmere.
My carders will use very high quality, durable, electronically controlled motors that are made in the USA!. All these machines have been extensively beta tested by some "heavy duty" fiber artists and they all have raved about the design, workmanship and durability.
Yes, a 230 volt version is also available to serve the international markets.
