hi |
|
what size electric motor would you recommend for a electric |
|
cycle kart that will give me the same power as the standard |
|
petrol engine, and remain in the spirt of cyclekarts |

According to the build guidelines it states 48v 3000 to 5000w. |

The club currently does not have much knowledge or experience of |
|
electric motivation and the hazards/risks arising from them. |
|
Consequently, the Handbook currently only has limited |
|
information regarding them. Therefore, builders of electric |
|
cyclekarts need to keep the club informed of their intentions |
|
and the research/information they have found. At some point the |
|
Handbook will be amended, so subsequently some aspects of the |
|
electric cyclekarts may require changing to comply with the |
|
Handbook (just because the Handbook doesn't currently stipulate |
|
something, doesn't mean that everything not mentioned is |
|
allowed). |

The American folk who have done this and with success suggest |
|
that 3Kw and 48 volts is a comparable unit. They tried 5Kw and |
|
decided that is was too much. |

Hi Ian, anyone considering building an electric kart should look |
|
at fireisolator.com. |
|
We have a BMW Dealership near me with an E V in the car park |
|
that has been burning for the last few days, they cannot |
|
extinguish it. |
|
Cheers Nick |

Thanks Nick, there's a lot to consider with electric cyclekarts |
|
and we don't have much experience. This is why I want builders |
|
of electric cyclekarts to be aware that their inclusion will be |
|
subject to amendments to the Handbook. |
