Full suspension. I found plans for what looks like a minibike with four wheels at http://gokartplans.com/plans/atv1/index.htm but I don't have metal-working tools and welding equipment. There are mobility scooters with suspension and that go up to 15 MPH but they are expensive.
I was given a 3-wheeled mobility scooter missing batteries, case, and charger. I found out that it only goes about 5 MPH. I was going to replace the motor and controller with new ones but the motor shaft has a slot that accepts a small piece of metal (key?) and the shaft in the transaxle also...
I found plans for cars from Popular Mechanics in 1950s. Some of them have electric motors.

I can't decide which car to build. Any suggestions besides using motor controllers, SLA/AGM batteries, and motors.
I think that pedal extenders from Amazon will not work on go kart pedals. They are made for pedals that are suspended from under the dashboard. My mother had them on her car.
This go-kart uses driveshaft and bevel gears instead of chains and sprockets. I searched for new parts and I think that it's possible to buy new ones. It looks like there's no differential.
A few years ago, I was given the go kart shown here:
But the engine, driveshaft, and rear axle were rusted, possible due to being in a flood. At that time, I didn't know about this forum. Is it possible to get the go kart fixed?
Did you read the wiring and programming instructions at https://electricscooterparts.com/hookup/SPD-481500BLDC.pdf ?
Instead of switching wires, use "self-learning wires" to program the controller unless you bought the wrong controller.
I was given this scooter shown at https://www.pridemobility.com/p/go-go-elite-traveller-plus-3-wheel but it was missing battery box, batteries, charger, and keys for switch.
I was going to convert it into a go kart but I found out that the top speed is only 5 MPH. I also found out that 3-wheel...
There is a DIY power wheelchar made using square tubing with holes at https://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Electric-Powered-Wheelchair/ and a go kart frame made from square tubing without using a welder at...
I want to build a go kart similar to the one shown at http://buggies.builtforfun.co.uk/Kart/index.html but the steering spindles are made from four pieces of steel angles and plates bolted together. I thought that buying spindles would be easier than making them. I don't have welding equipment.
If I buy just the steering spindles and make the brackets that hold the splindles in place, what's the height of the tubes where kingpins go through? One example: https://www.ombwarehouse.com/spindle-only-5-8-18-axle-x-4-1-2-length-5-8-kingpin-side-1.html
