So I was browsing YouTube the other day when I came across this video that got me thinking.

Cool build, right? According to the uploader, it can do just under 50mph and can be run for 3 to 4 hours. Yes, you read that right. 3 to 4 HOURS. Naturally it cost a few thousand dollars, but I'm just wondering how the **** it's possible to even get that much range out of a kart that goes that fast with batteries that small. How would you even do that? As you can tell, I know very little about e-karts. That being said, what's the average run time of the karts you guys are building? Because if something like this kart is feasible to build (even if its pricey) I'd be interested building one myself. :auto:

Looks like he's running full size deep cycle batteries. That would be how. 110ah @12v.

I am also guessing that it doesn't run for 3-4 hours AT FULL SPEED.
