Welcome!
Well are you trying to lift an electric kart, make a lifted kart electric or make a lifted electric kart?
And AFAIK most lifted karts have no insturctions as their are done DIY as a one off and certainly there are no lifted karts that are electric, though you would have to make it yourself.
That's if @FunctionalArtist doesn't get to it first, but he's working on Damien, so you've got time.

Why electric???
Why not hydraulic jack types or the like...
What kind or type of gokarts?... There's a big weight variance...

For a race kart.

Just look for plans for a hydraulic one and put a linear actuator there instead of a bottle jack?
electric takes either utterly expensive parts, or ages to lift a kart..
a bottle jack lift is quicker and cheaper to make.
quickest, cheapest and easiest is still the good ol' muscle actuated lift
(also the quickest to raise/and lower the kart)
Ever wonder why F1 cars are lifted manually?
because it cannot be safer, quicker, easier and more reliable than that.

Consider a screw driven lift table with an impact. It's already built and you just need to roll the cart on and trigger the impact.

Here is a "drive on" motorcycle lift for ~$400.00 (1,000 lbs. capacity)
https://www.harborfreight.com/1000-lbs-steel-motorcycle-lift-69904.html
Here is another for ~$100.00 (1,500 lbs.)
...just add an adequate size surface (piece of plywood) for your kart
https://www.harborfreight.com/1500-lbs-capacity-atvmotorcycle-lift-61632.html
* If you wanna do a DIY lift these should at least, give you some ideas on how others are constructed.

I would see what kind of lift Doc uses on his YouTube Channel, Sprocket's Garage, or shoot him a PM on ATLTF.com since he doesn't show up much on here anymore, he goes by Doc Sprocket on here at ATLTF. He has a nice lift he uses for his lawn tractor builds and those weigh the same if not more than a lot of karts and buggies.
