how to control a treadmill motor

I'd contact a local motor shop to see if they had a good used motor if I had the need. Wouldn't hurt to contact scrap/salvage yards, as many show up on the junk market due to the copper value.
 
Is there anyone who knows which is the best option, cause the price difference is obvious
The more expensive motor has a higher power factor so it would cost less to run. In continuous use it would probably be the better buy. If you are just a hobby guy the less expensive might be a more cost effective option. (This topic probably should have been started as a separate thread since it's no longer about treadmill motors.) Surplus Center sometimes has good deals on motors http://www.surpluscenter.com/home.asp
