Superconducting motors become black holes???

THinking over an idea based on something I picked up off a KeelyNet
list:

Assume a superconducting motor, operating in a vacuum, fed as much
power as it can handle indefinitely, bound by buckyfiber. At what point
does it's velocity rise so high that it's mass/energy quotient causes
it to implode into a black hole? Is this within the bounds of the
strength of buckyfiber to hold it together to this point?

Note that the mass of such a black hole would be so small that it would
rapidly evaporate (as predicted by Hawking) in a rather catastrophic
explosion, converting its mass to energy.
