The engine has done over 20k miles and need something with more poke, it's probably been sat for 3 years now. Want to stop using my car for daily commuting and something to give a good bashing around some b roads (some amazing quiet country roads in my area). A few mates have msx125's with big...

Would you ever consider the 140 lifan or even a 170? seen some with 200's in but no idea on how sketchy this would be at speeds

Has anyone got any specific engines and costings? Would like something with a good after market scene as can't live with standard. Everyone loves a good old tinkle on an engine EDIT: lifan 140 is a straight swap out apparently, anyone had any experience with one? Heard Lifan are cheap and...

The image provided isn't mine I have a 50cc Road Legal Registered Monkey Bike (It's a Honda z50) I am wondering if you've done much with these in the states? I am interested in picking up a 212 predator and messing around with it for daily use (no more than 5 miles). Would one fit? I can't find...

Very nice kart but am looking for a project. Out of curiosity I dropped them a mail to see what delivery charges would be, I was looking at $600 + import tax. Could make a 212 predator gasoline kart for the same cost as delivery. Still looking into this but with a bunch of other projects so...

Cheers for getting back to me again. Maxing the kart out and pushing it to the limit from a full charge twice a day, would this become an issue as long as stored in cool temperature conditions and all maintenance is carried out? Sorry if I am vague, I have no real experience with electric...

Thanks so far for your help, I appreciate it! So 1 x 6kW brushless (or brushed) motor & controller research is my first step. Nothing about bragging rights but how fast could a 1 x 6kW go on a light/bare minimal chassis with me on (as a rough figure I am around 150lbs). I want to see if it's a...

I want guidance towards building an electric kart that would do around the 50mph zone for roughly 30 minutes. I know 50 is a huge ask and many of you will say you won't need that speed but I do! I've spoken to a local track which I have competed in 125 & 250 shifter leagues and they're more than...
