Cully's Electric car ..T project

[cully]

Ive wanted to do this for a while now, but only recently managed to find a Kart local enough and cheep enough to think YES go on then

so i hope it don't get shelved or i loose interest or just sell it cause this will i hope work well!

plans
to start with i want to get it running on battery's at a speed!
don't laugh! 10 MPH with foot throttle variable speed and reverse !

once i get this far the transmission will be right and working then an upgraded motor and speed controller for extra boost sorry SPEED!

so pictures as it stands now!

yesterday i made up the stands to get the kart off the ground so its at a good working hight so i dont feck my back bending over

You nutter, if you get it done, bring it to the next meet so we can all have a go up cheddar gorge or something. Bring cookies too

You'll break something when you get it up and working lol

[Strikeforce]

Its already slammed so just bang some clones on and job done lol

[Andy]

Only if it was a scooter, yeah I've seen the video.

I have a nice 125 motocross engine that would go like a rocket with that in it

[cully]

yes but with an engine you cant drive it on the road !

anyway here is a loose plan of action
for the drive i have a motor driven trans axle with built in diff
which I'm going to graft onto the existing axle
via 2 sets of chain and sprockets and the original kart axle is going to be cut and joined with a double bearing allowing the axle to turn sharper without skidding the tyres allowing the diff to work

[Matt]

This could be epic! Needs that 125 engine

[4WayDiablo]

yes but with an engine you cant drive it on the road !

so your making this road legal? does it fit in the back of the 'state?

[cully]

box of electronics to graft on once the mechanical stuff is done

yes it just fits in the estate had to take the rear wheels off but it went in

[4WayDiablo]

haha awesome, my mate had a quad bike that fitted in the back if you took the wheels off, that made an appearance at a few pug meeets haha

[spike2002]

road legal im sure it will only be road legal if it goes less than a certain speed i mayb wrong tho

[ginge191]

When I saw the title I thought you were getting one of these:


Knowing your history it'd be much safer and much more appropriate

[Curt]

^ Bit high of the ground though, could have stability issues, gravity doesn't need any more assistance


Looks like a fun project, hope it gets done

125 crosser engine and the electric motor. hybrib me is thinking????

[cully]

sorry petrol engine in a Kart its a bit well bolt in dont need to think about it!

dont you guys like a challenge?
going electric most if not all the mounts will have to be fabricated which means thinking and planning your route

i dont want to go down the ovious route but if the electric falls over i have that option too but its not one im planning on taking just yet !




or as for hybrid what about petrol gen-electric i have a 2.8KW gennie in the garage

[Niall]

What you going to power it off of? Car battery?

[cully]

power will be from 2 lead acid gell cells to start with so 24v with the first build

[cully]

started to make up motor mounts

[cully]

chain and sprocket quotes are in.....

£123.12p delivered or £69 delivered

so have ordered my kit from http://www.engineersmate.com/

[4WayDiablo]

So your providing the the "drift taxis" at FCS? Lol

[cully]

but ive run out of metal so need to go back to work to raid the scrap bin
