Project Overview

A few months ago, we came across a YouTube video of the "Neurotikart", a fully electric go-kart.  After seeing this video, we decided to build a go-kart of our own.  We set out with the following goals:

• Fully electric propulsion
• Homemade frame and motor controller
• Regenerative braking
• Reasonable cost (under 1500 dollars)

We have already made a lot of progress.  After a drawn out search and consideration of several candidates, we finally selected a motor -- a leftover from an electric vehicle project that we found on Ebay.  We've designed a frame and are in the process building it out of steel ordered online.  Also, we've purchased three deep-cycle lead-acid batteries to power the kart.  We're a little behind on the blog coverage, so we'll be posting more details on each of these subjects as we go.

We hope you enjoy.
