Not good enough for this kart. My fault
was not using balancers. But that is why
I built this. It was a learning
experience before the car.
System Voltage72 Volts
ChargerZivan NG1
Failed I think, or the batteries were
shot. Not sure. This vehicle is not
ridden often, but when it is, its still
beast.
InstrumentationSpeedometer
Top Speed50 MPH (80 KPH)
I had 53.5 and I ran out of road. This
thing is crazy fast
Acceleration0-50 in 3 seconds, if the batteries can
push the current.
Range10 Miles (16 Kilometers)
I can't keep track of that. I try to
watch the road as much as possible. 50
mph 2 inches off the ground raises the
blood pressure.
Watt Hours/Mile65 Wh/Mile
I think those are accurate. I may look
back through and double check those
numbers.

.6 was the Coefficient of drag I used,
hard to really calculate that.
EV Miles
Current:32 Miles (51 Kilometers)
Seating Capacity1 adult
Curb Weight400 Pounds (181 Kilograms)
Conversion Time3 weeks.

A lot less design time went into this than
the bike. I just wanted something fast,
as fast as I could build it.
Conversion Cost$2500
