    First time electric go kart build gearing problems

    use the calculator i posted above i have 11/72 on my kart with 11" tires. i would have gone up to 11/80 if i could have found a sprocket that big for more torque.

    Newbie wanting to build a Radio Flyer Kart

    this steel plate is what i made to hook up the bike cable to the throttle box...there is no way to mount the cable when u get it. the throttle cable seems to be secure enough because of the angle the pedal pulls and the mount of the actual sleeve on the back side. ill keep an eye on it

    Newbie wanting to build a Radio Flyer Kart

    no build thread yet, ive been too busy. i have taken some pics along the way. I'm still having issues with the pedals, but when i figure it out will take pics. I'm using a HallEffect Throttle box that i got from ebay for about 45.00 (best offer) that should work well. i have 3 10ah batteries...

    Also shop around....monster is expensive. check out TNCScooters, ive found them to be much less pricey than monster. I'm currently building a electric Radio flyer for my daughter. Having problems with the pedals right now but its almost done.

    Electric Go Kart Question

    not sure, there must be a way, golf carts can just be plugged in to be charged... maybe look up the golf kart model # or something and start there

    Electric Go Kart Idea

    1) why 3 motors 2) you are over complicating this greatly with your switches... 3) just run 36v (3 12v batteries) a hall effect throttle/controller setup you can adjust the ammout of speed by applying more/less throttle.
