Not good enough for this kart. My fault was not using balancers. But that is why I built this. It was a learning experience before the car.
System Voltage72 Volts
ChargerZivan NG1
Failed I think, or the batteries were shot. Not sure. This vehicle is not ridden often, but when it is, its still beast.
InstrumentationSpeedometer
Top Speed50 MPH (80 KPH)
I had 53.5 and I ran out of road. This thing is crazy fast
Acceleration0-50 in 2.5 seconds, if the batteries can push the current.
Range10 Miles (16 Kilometers)
I can't keep track of that. I try to watch the road as much as possible. 50 mph 2 inches off the ground raises the blood pressure.
Watt Hours/Mile65 Wh/Mile
I think those are accurate. I may look back through and double check those numbers.

.6 was the Coefficient of drag I used, hard to really calculate that.

Curb Weight400 Pounds (181 Kilograms)

A lot less design time went into this than the bike. I just wanted something fast, as fast as I could build it.
Conversion Cost$2500
