I'm 6.3 and in process of making one: https://www.facebook.com/gokartproject/posts/1554233381534675
I have no idea if it will work, but i will give it a try...
My son's battery was almost gone, lasted only about 20min, so i build a new one out of used laptop battery cells - so far so good!
24v ~10ha
It's twice lighter too... :wai:
I need help choosing the controller for my not yet arrived motor.
I have option to get:
