    Forward/reverse switch wiring

    I should add it's billed as 36v 800w so fine in theory for my setup. ---------- Post added at 07:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 AM ---------- Nope. No labelling at all. The switch seems to have three "tiers" to it as seen. My brother might have a meter. Trying to get hold of him now.

    Thanks sid. No schematics I'm afraid. I guess it's trial and error this evening then. ��

    Forward/reverse switch wiring

    Hi guys. I have got a forward and reverse switch to wire into my karts. Trouble is being a novice and the fact that the switch came in a clear packet and that's it, I have no idea of how to wire it in. It needs to go in between the controller and motor right? I have put a picture of the...

    Controller Wiring Assistance

    Brilliant, thanks. I think it all makes sense so hopefully should be good. Just to clarify, the extra black wire fromo the charging port can just be left or should i look to connect it somewhere? Still trying to figure out the best brake situation, that will require some further thought i...

    Converting a pedal go kart to electric

    Hi, I am in Norfolk. These are the two Karts I have to modify, both similar, one just a bit slightly bigger than the other. I am pretty handy with tools and will try to get a handle on most things although the electrical side of things is going to be a learning curve that’s for sure. I have...

    Hi FA. Funnily enough. That's the one bit that kept cropping up. Don't use the car chargers on the sla batteries. Thanks. I will sort a couple out. Decided that I am going to have a dry run of wiring it all up. A desktop exercise so to speak. I can then check everything I do before...

    Electric Kids Kart Project

    So, batteries are on order and should be here in the week. Thoughts are turning to charging. What's the best route to go down. Obviously they will be in series so 36v. Is a 36v charger the best option and possible? Or will I need to buy a 12v charger Andy charge all separately. This would mean...

    Electric Kids Kart Project

    Do you know what, i was literally just trying to work it out. I just want an ignition type switch, happy with key or simple rocker, i had figured that a rocker switch will be easier as i dont have to worry about lost keys then. I have the 36V 800 watt motors, speed controller to suit. I was...

    Electric Kids Kart Project

    So, parts are dripping through the post. I now have motors, speed controllers and rear sprockets. I have been casting my eye to switches now but feel a bit lost. I am not really fussed by having a key ignition but maybe have a "on/off" switch and then fancy wiring in a reverse switch. Point I...

    Electric Kids Kart Project

    So I managed to have a little shopping spree this afternoon and now have a couple of 800w motors on the way with some speed controllers to match. These motors are 36v so was looking at getting three of these batteries for each. Should work shouldn't they...

    Electric Kids Kart Project

    Hi Danny, Of course I will keep progress updated. I will try to remember to start a build thread. Problem is I take some pictures at the start then crack on, keep coming back to it and at the end think “Ahh rubbish, I didn’t take any pictures through the process!”. I will give the 11x70 a try...
