I just picked up a Kango Yard Kart, an electric powered 2 seater go kart, with a roll cage.
Its a basic Kart, Band Brake, Single Wheel Drive, the shaft on the motor has a small sproket which is connected via chain to a bigger sproket on the axle next to the rear driver's side wheel. It has 3 Batteries powering the a 24V,70A, 1.6 HP Imperial Permanent Magnet Motor. I figure it weighs about 100-150 lbs.
I rode on it, weighing in at 200lbs, and figured it was doing 15-20mph. I was wondering how fast I should expect it to go for my kids who weigh around 80-100lbs.
I was also hoping I can modify it so it can go Reverse as well as Forward. I found out that the motor is supposed to be bi-directional. Anyone have any information or insight on how to get the motor to change rotation?
TIA
