Homemade electric go- kart
This is my new electric go-kart. I built it using an old kart which was in pretty bad conditions. I restored a lot of parts including the chassis. There was a lot of cutting, grinding, welding, painting and fabrication.
I’m currently using a 1.5KW and 48V brushless DC motor and four 12V batteries. Although it’s quite heavy I’ve achieved a top speed of 35-40km/h and the batteries last about 30 minutes.
In a near future I’ll have to do more weight reduction and in a long term maybe make it hybrid with a small petrol engine or convert it into a drift kart.

Mad!
cool! I’d like to build one my own ahah
nice
Nice one. Are you using lead acid batteries? Might I recommend CVT for future upgrades (so you can keep engine RPM at peak torque).
Thats amazing
How did you create your own manufacturer? “Homemade”
what is the weight now ? compared to normal gokart (with gas engine).
and how do you manage cooling for batteries. thanks (:
I love it. I really wish i knew how to do those kinds of things but oh well, I’m only 15, I can’t do that kind of stuff yet.
Eppp! Quin carracu noi!
Almost looks like Senna’s kart! Mad!
