I didn,t know that! I,ll see what I can find on the googles :cheers2:

Hi guys, small update, I,ve decided to make my project go kart a hybrid instead of fully electric. I like the idea of fully electric, but i dont like the idea of charge times, and i dont have the money to build spare batteries. So I had an idea, keep the existing GX200, and run a motor as...

Lol. Mounting the tensioner should be ok, the motor shaft might require an extra bracket with a bearing to cope with the side loads or whatever you call them, so i,d attach it to that.

Hi guys, looking for some advice on a current project. I,m going to put a 4kW-5kW electric motor onto a kart and i,m wondering if a belt drive system would be ok/safe to use? I thought about using an automotive timing belt and pulleys to keep the cost down. I,m guessing these belts can...

Hi guys, I,m building an electric go kart as part of a college project. I,m looking to refresh the braking system with new seals, pads, hose and hose fittings. I dont know much about the brakes. I was told the frame is a Zip kart, and that the brakes are original. So is anyone able to tell...

Hey guys, not much progress with the kart im afraid. I,m trying to sort the wheels and brakes first, but i,ve been busy with other stuff. Ok, so i,m considering batteries now, just doing my research, seeing whats out there. My budget for batteries is £200. I,d like no less than 36Ah...

Hi Sid! Thanks for the informative reply! I emailed the seller on sunday night, he said the motor and controller came off the same golf buggy. I,ve emailed him to find out if he would sell the motor on its own, i dont think the twist throttle will be of much use on a kart! I,ve read your...

Yea we just put the seat in roughly to see how it would look. I'll maybe re-drill it if it doesn't feel right. As for the motor situation, I don't know anyone who is into golf, never mind has a spare motor kicking about! I'm guessing this motor would be ideal tho? Dave

Hi guys, i,ve been looking at DC motors on Ebay. Would this be a suitable set up? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281761922699?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack=true Would the controller handle 36v ok? Dave

Haha it's been a work in progress for the past 3 years :)

Hi guys, I,m studying electrical engineering and i,m planning to convert a go kart to electric for my end of year project. So, i got this go kart about 4 years ago, planning to take it round the local track just for a bit of fun, i started to restore it, but due to other hobbies, it got put on...

Hello! I,m Dave, just joined, looking to get some advice on converting a kart to electric. So a mate had this kart and wanted rid of it, i swapped a pair of mountain bike wheels for it. I,ve owned it for years but never drove it. This is a pic of the kart, which is said to be a Zip kart from...
