Thanks , not really sure on range as the kids have only been up and down the road on it , but my youngest was on it yesterday for a good half hour without any slowing . It's running a 24v 500 watt motor with 2 12ah batteries and I can't get over how rapid it is !

500 watt ,24 v motor and pretty rapid considering ! Was built with cart wheels on the rear , but wouldn't steer without the hard drain pipe type covers on ( which I haven't got ) , so over to old buggy wheels for now !

Here it finally is and a big thanks for all the help on here. Can't believe how rapid this thing is !

Sorry . I ment the actual electrical connectors . ie if I buy a charger with a 3 pin male connector attached to it , can I buy female 3 pin connectors seperately that I can permanently wire into the vehicle side of the charging system ?

I will be running 2 12v 8ah batteries in series to power my kids trike and am wondering what is the best way of charging them ? I can get a 24v charger in the uk very cheaply but it seams to have 3 terminals in the round connecting block , which I don't understand . Also can you buy the female...

Thanks very much Sid . I will report back with the relevant information when the motor gets here in the week . Appreciate your time .

I'm making a bit of progress with my kid's trike and have sourced a chinese made 500 watt 24v motor . What would be the ideal gearing for this for say 30 mins running time ? The motor comes with a 11 tooth front sprocket and the chain is h25 It is running with Kart rear wheels and tyres...

If you can get 70 ponies out of the engine I'd be very happy with that :thumbsup: The valves apparantly smooth out the power delivery so you don't get that real kick in the pants when it gets into the band .

loving this build , I have 3 stroker bikes in the uk that have the 350lc motor in , mine have the ypvs valves in them . Keep the photos coming - great work

finally had a minute to watch your videos and even with the older girl on the yellow one it seemed quite rapid . very impressive :thumbsup:

Big thanks again sid . top advice :thumbsup:

Thanks Sid for taking the time reply and I'll probably be better off going down the 500 watts route. It's just that on Ebay in the uk the 500 watt motors seems that much more expensive . I've seen a 300 watt motor on an online scooter shop for the right sort of money but maybe it still won't...

thanks for the reply .wow, they look ace . If I read you right you are saying you got the motors from scooters is that correct ?

Thanks for the reply , the fact that I can do all of the mechanical work and welding will hopefully save me a few £. I have used the search function and Sid's knowledge on electric motors is something else . Just hoping one of those E bike /scooter motors will suffice . cheers again

Hi all , newbie here so go easy on me .:thumbsup: I am going to build my 3 year old lad a small drift style trike on the cheap with go kart style rear wheels. I am an engineer so that side of things will be exciting for me , but I'm not the brightest with the motor side of things ( unless it...
