Title: RACE KART conversion kit!
Post by: GM Brazil on February 08, 2010, 02:57:38 AM

Golden Motor!

Create a nice 35kW motor, controller for 96V50A, set up some combination of batteries to 96v 40Ah  and create enter at a new racing category!!

This system could use some super capacitors to get more current of the regenerative braking, so they could boost the kart when needed to high A without damaging the batteries :D The system could use an automatic phase shifting to get higher speeds, also.

It is a very high value market, that could bo$$t the development of high end motors!

Please!! I would sell it like hell :D

Here is the video I downloaded:

Best regards

Bruno,
You may have a slight problem with your calculations, as I'm not convinced the motor is large enough.

Trying to shove 4800W through a 35W motor is just asking for trouble!
Perhaps that's why your rockets keep exploding?(http://www.arhservices.co.uk/GoldenMotor/emoticons/snicker.GIF)

P.S.
What are the chances of making them street legal?
Now that really would be fun! ;D

Go Karts are way too much fun. Here in the US it is popular in resort type areas to have small tracks with them for rent and I have to admit that I have not passed many by without taking a few hot laps over the years. An electric version would be great for areas that have inclement weather patterns as you could set up a track in a warehouse type building and run year round. Use wind, solar or hydro to recharge and you would have a nice little operation going. Angel investors apply at ;D

I was thinking more in full race kart :D

Those 7000W GM motor are already good for gokarts (I'm not sure, but in English when you say "gokart" is those for fun races, right?)
