OK now you may remember me from my last post a long time ago on making a fully electric home made go kart. This didn't work. I didn't have enough money or experience, so I have brought a cheap go kart with minor problems :wai: . this is an old biz adult go kart with a 160cc engine. Everything is...

at least 40 MPH. otherwise i might as well stay with petrol! (:

My dad found his old electric lawn mower, and I was wondering if its motor would be better for the go kart. The lawn mower is called a flymo sprintmaster XE 38 twin. Can anyone find out if it would be a good motor and its stats. e.g. Watts volts. Thank you

Thank you to all three people above for help. I have luckily been able to find a friend who has allowed me to use their welder and teach me how to use it! I am unfortunately not based in the USA, I'm in the UK. Also thank you for the help with the electronics (batteries). Right now I am trying...

i would like to get a mig welder, but i was wondering if any of you know of anywhere i could get one cheap? also i would now like help with batteries. like what brand, how many and stuff. i will be getting a 36v 800w motor! thank you!

Hi all I'm baileyboy :welcome2: I am new here and love to create and invent, most of it is all in my head but sometimes it gets put into a drawing or into an actual model. I like to draw and solve problems so I am a engineer/designer to be! That's why I'm here. I have wanted to build something...

the kart and me and whatever is i need to make it work overall 120kg + but i hope to use a large gear ratio to help it with speed and power. oh and yes i will be going up slight hills and burnouts would be nice!

hi all! I'm totally new here, and i came to seek advise and help on my electric go kart which i have yet to start due to lack of knowledge. this is were you come in. I have decided to build a electric go kart with a 36v motor and I would like some help with: 1. the batteries I should use...
