Here is a little kart I built back around the end of summer called !Arriba!
It's set up Old School Style (knees way up high)
For this one, I was goin' for
...little & big @ the same time
I used a minimalistic approach
...& tried to make it strong by design
...a small foot print with lots of room
...& lots of power
...but, also lightweight & heavy duty @ the same time
Goals-
...easy to enter & exit
...comfortable to drive
...powerful - torquey & speedy (over 20 mph)
...strong but, don't over build it (keep her ~100 lbs.)
I designed & set 'er up for
...dual 48V 1,000W motors
...running off of (4) small 12V 12AH SLA batteries
Ideally, they should be a matching pair of motors & speed controllers
I already have (1) 48V 1,000W MY1020 motor & speed controller
so, I'll deal with roundin' up a matching pair next year
...for now, we'll just go with a single motor, mounted on the left side.
