Hello to All from a new EV back-yarder. I have a Group Herrington Electric Junior Car that does not run. A local battery store tried to sort it but failed. They also failed to return the charger that it had with it. I took the car to Canada Electric Vehicles to check out the problem and they reported back that the only item that checked out was the motors. I think that they are dual wheelchair motors but CANEV thought they might be E-Bike motors.
What I wish to accomplish is to understand the present original system and then find an updated Go-Kart electrics to replace it. I am unable to understand the two electronic boards that it has.Hopefully I can make a simpler car for my Granddaughter to drive.
Here are some pics and random thoughts of what we may have......... thanks for your patience.
System has dual electric motors on fixed rear axle. Band brakes at each side at rear. 2 controllers into a mainboard. A pedal throttle up front into a speed control interface? Batteries are long gone as is the original charger. Was a 3 X12V
system 36V motors? 250 wt controllers X2 and key switch 2 position off/on. 12V power to headlamps and horn. Hand operated lever rear brakes. Car weighs in with out batteries at 90KGs (200 lb) I seem to remember from somewhere that top speed was around 20 kmh (13 mph) but not sure on that. What are those boards doing?
