My brothers buddy has this broken down AVT that he has sitting in his shed. He doesn't want it anymore and was just going to get rid of it. I told him I was interested in it for the tires and other parts. Guess how much he's gonna sell it to me for......Fifty Bucks!

Today, my brother and I took off the plastic fenders and the seat to do some cleaning. It was covered in dried mud and 3 of the tires are flat. I'm not sure if they can be fixed, but they are pretty low on tread.

After some spray washing, it turns out that this ATV has 3 suspesion springs and shocks that are good, a decent frame to build off of and last but not least a nicely sized CVT! Ineed I hit the jackpot, I am quite pleased with this purchase.

It's just a matter of getting rid of the corroded wire, draining the brake fluid and getting the parts I want cleaned of rust and mud.

My street-legal electric go-kart is begining to take shape!

w00t!

I don't quite understand, you're making an electric ATV?

you probably read correctly it just relates to another thread elsewhere!

maybe you could take the gear box off and see if its the same size shaft as the motor? :)
