    Ok in that case this is what I understand. The BE powerease is basically a RATO with a different case. Right? Well then what would you pick the "RATO" or the powerease?

    Do you think that car size wheels would work well? I have four old tires from my car but they dont have rims. I would buy rims for them if you say that they would work.

    Then what motor would you recommend if not the my1020 in that case I could use that one for another project. What are my options I am considering teaching the kids how to use it and for me not too go on it. That might bring the speeds up as for the safty both of them have motorbike helmets and...

    I dont know if I would agree with you 'sid. My friends and I already tried to roll down the street "on the door" and there seemed to be nothing wrong I think I should mention that the steering was not working at the time. Now We changed the front to be able to turn but did not go on it yet. I...

    How much are these "Batteries for old people" ;-) I mean in $ I live in canada by the way. Since the motor I mentioned earlier (my1020) is a 48v motor I understand I would need 4 of these 12 volt batteries? Honestly I am still not sure wether the my1020 will be powerful enough.

    I understand that the speed I get after i do all the calculations will be top speed on a flat horizontal surface. Am I correct?

    What I am trying to figure out is what speeds do you think I could get by using that motor. Going back to the battery topic what combo would I need to get decent speeds while not risking overheating the motor?? Thanks

    Well my friends an I had a crazy idea of using a door as the base to our go kart. We attached 4 wheels to the sides and it is word ng good. The thing is that it is not motorized at all. Honestly I dont know how much it weighs but it is heavy. The door is reinforced by 4 meter long two by fours...
