It can't just be any car battery can it? That would be too easy... Should I look for a 35ah car battery? I did some google searches and it was only giving me 12v sla or gel batteries.

Hahahaha!! no I did read it. I just wasn't entirely sure about the battery situation yet. And when you say motorbike battery what do you mean by that? Because when I just search google for a 12v 35 or 40ah battery it comes up with power wheelchair batteries for like $60-70 bucks a pop. But...

:lolgoku: Thank you!! I'll keep that in mind while building

So what if I switched motors and got a 24v one instead, and then for batteries got two power chair batteries rated for 12v 35ah. Would they work? The link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/131212514902

Hello, so I'm building an electric go kart for my senior project. I'm planning on using a 36v 1000w motor and a 36v 1000w controller all on a racing kart frame. The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is the best fit battery wise for my set up. I know the commonly used batteries are...

Hey, so I found this go kart on craigslist and was wondering if it would be a good buy. The seller says that it has an ignition problem and that the park gear needs to be tightened, I'm not sure what he means by that... I'm still new and would like an off-road go kart but lack the skills to make...

My older brother came home and he made it work. I cleaned the cabeurator out. Then he just used some starter fluid and he said he just pulled it a couple times and it fired right up. I like to think I helped haha :) but thank you all for your suggestions. Also the steering wasn't working but I...

I gave it new gas, checked the spark plug, and put in a new air filter because the old one was nasty. But still nothing. I've read the manual for my engine and it says that if it doesn't have enough oil it shuts off automatically but it appears to have enough oil (I can't really be certain...

Hi, Im new to the big wide world of go karting and to mechanical things as a whole. I have been planing in order to build my first kart, I have an old go kart frame that is complete and an engine. The frame is wonky and was designed to only turn left for an oval track, but somewhere along the...
