Good evening. I'm 31, male, and live in Indiana. I'm also a bartender. My plans are to build an electric go kart into a recliner or armchair/ottoman for the man-cave and for tailgating and such. My budget is around 200 for parts. I plan on hitting up some yard sales for the chair. Unfortunately, i dont know alot about electric motors, controllers, amps and such. I'm not really looking for any high speeds here. Somewhere between 10-15 mph. Ive looked at used parts for golf carts, scooters, power chairs, fork lifts, e bikes conversions, you name it.
I weigh right at 220, and assume the chair will weigh about that as well. Any suggestions on what size/type of motor would be good? I'm leaning torward the motor scooter motors because they are already geared w/ free coasting sprockets and it'll be easy to get chains and such. I came across this on ebay. Do you think itll move it?
