looking for advice on 24 volt motor drive

[mattlepperd]

I am building a colapsable golf cart variation that can be hauled under my fifth wheel hitch in the back of my truck while I haul my fifth wheel camper. its is to be a two seater and I am looking for around 12 MPH and a 5 mile or so range. It is to be used for driving around campgrounds on our weekend camping trips. (I am VERY lazy...but love to build stuff)
I have ZERO experience with electric motors. I intend to use 2 deep cycle marine batteries and maybe the little 24 volt 350 motors that are all over ebay for cheap. They have #25 chain sprockets on them and are reversable. has anyone here played with those motors? are they durable? how much power and speed are available in them? any help is greatly needed and appreciated.

I would contact the guy on youtube who made an electric go kart, he got up to 50 with batteries. I would give you the link to the video but youtube is blocked in china and has been for 3 months. Just search electric go kart on youtube and somthing should come up. he helped my friend a while back on this.

The new great wall works about as good as the first one.
