Howdy,
I used the 48V 1,000W My1020 brushed motor on this kart
Brushed motors are much simpler to install & wire/connect
...just (2) wires go to the motor red (+) & black (-)
Brushless motors are more complicated
...usually having (3) big wires & (5) smaller wires to route & connect
The "main" benefit of brushless is that they have no brushes to wear out
...but, I haven't worn any brushes out
Battery cover is on my list of things to do
From a dead stop, the meter showed that the motor was drawing ~18A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wztjU3Uy4vg
I usually use the 12V 12AH SLA's for ~$25.00 ea. (48V 12AH =$100.00)
...the draw back is they weigh ~8 lbs. ea. (48V 12AH = ~40 lbs.)

For the Torsk I tried the 12V 15AH SLA batteries (~$130.00)
...but, they cost a bit more (~$30.00 ea.) & weigh a bit more (~10 lbs.)

Kool!, Thanks
Don't remember seeing the Z kart
...but, yup they are kinda similar
* Still lookin' for that stupid air chuck
