Looks like fantastic fun! We've got a stock minimoto that I restored this year, but my 6yo would have to practice more to pilot that one.

That's good information about the battery placement. I was wondering how much of an impact a rear mounted battery would have. What is the approximate weight of the components you have mounted in the back? I was planning on mounting my AGM batteries on the sides, but am still worried about the...

I'm about to begin assembly on a similar 48V race kart project and wanted to ask what settings you planned on using when programming the controller? Specifically, what will you set as the maximum current draw? Momentarily at startup, these motors will pull a lot of amps, so it seems a set of 50...
