Its amazing to  see that it can seat so many!!! Good model for an EV project.

This is Revision 3 of the electric go kart. It has a new Ramsey winch motor and a 400amp curtis 1204-410 motor controller. The sprockets have been upgraded to hold a #35 chain and the new size chain has been added. I the motor specs: 8000RPM at 24v, 32 in pounds of torque, 45 amps no load, 140 amps full load 6 hp continuous, 11 peak, running currently at 36v 85amps. Thanks for watching. Please leave your comments in the section below. Please note: this is not supposed to be professional looking or super-functionalal for that metter, it was meant to be a fun project.

The Solar Powered Go Kart is Made by Solar Power Expert from FFG Solar Power Trading based in San Lorenzo South, Sta. Rosa City, Laguna , Philippines. Powered by 190 watts Mono Crystalline Solar Panel, 200watts DC Brushless Motor, 50AH/24V Battery and Digital Controller. Eco friendly and no emission.

The quadricycle was built by Charles Oravec, Lab Supervisor & Electronics Tech for the Occidental College Physics Department and Awot Ghirmai.

It has four car batteries, which are charged using a solar panel. It is driven by two electronic motors, one in each front wheel.

Also present at the testing were: Jean-Luc Gauvreau, Post-Doctoral Fellow and Steve Sadler, a PhD student at the University of Sheffield, UK.

The bike was created as a summer exercise.

Kerala will soon have a solar-powered three-wheeler rickshaws.The solar panels fitted on the roof  will provide power, stored in a battery. The battery can be charged by electricity in the absence of solar power. The project, conceptualized by an entrepreneur, is set to be launched on August 15.

The vehicle is being assembled by Lifeway Solar Private Limited, a Kochi-based enterprise, owned by Georgekutty Karianappally, who said the vehicle could seat five persons.

The solar panels fitted on the roof are 1.5 metres long and 1 metre wide. The vehicle can attain a speed of 40 km and can run a minimum of 80 km with a six-hour charging from solar light, Mr. Karianapally said. After the pilot project, it would be extended to various cities in Kerala, he said.

The project has been submitted for clearance from the Transport Commissionerate hoping that clearance would be received soon.

KTM has announced plans to produce the Speed scooter concept it showed at Tokyo this year as the E-SPEED. Based on the FREERIDE E electric drivetrain, the production version of the E-SPEED is expected to deliver a performance profile similar to a 125cc gas-powered scooter. At nearly 15 hp, the output of the E-SPEED should be well suited to urban riding, especially given its top speed of just under 55 mph. That puts it in Stella or Symba territory performance wise. Take a close look at the front rotor and you’ll see an ABS ring. Will this make it to production? While no mention of range was given, the 4.36kWh battery is said to charge in as little as two hours on 220v of wall power.

Most larger electrics give the performance of a 150cc gas-powered scooter in the form factor of a 650. Meanwhile the electric scooters actually sized like 150s give a performance output that’s shamed by many 50cc gas-powered bikes.
