Title: Curious minds are wondering
Post by: Dr.Greenthumb on July 13, 2008, 04:59:52 PM
Has anyone here made an electric vehicle? I have a few project vehicle frames i could possibly do something with. An old barren sand rail or a Very sturdy slightly finished go kart frame. I think it would be cool to have 2 smaller electric motors on each rear wheel on either vehicles.What kind of motors could i possibly use? Ive been doing some searching on it but not much and turned out on a briggs and stratton etek.
