How we made a DIY PVC / EMT Electric Go Kart (48V 2000W)

We used PVC and EMT through it for a strong frame that looks cool and our kids could built it! Plus, it can handle a more powerful 2000 Watt brushless motor for little ones and adults - 40+ kph !!!

Scott this is a great build. It would be much appreciated by many if you made a video showing how to make this step-by-step. Including parts list, dimensions, how you made the steering, drivetrain, wiring, etc.

I’ve inquired about PVC or ABS trike or quad builds on forums. There are so many nay sayers out there chiming in with no experience with PVC or ABS. It’s nice to see someone implement/engineer something that is functional and to show what is possible.

This is the most creative DIY kart ive ever seen .. As far as I can tell the only flaw is the flex in the frame ... It doesn't really seem that bad but I'm sure at 40 mph on grass out in the yard it wouldnt be long before it snaps in half ... Reason being if I or anyone else who does NOT have access to a school track or an open lot was to build this it would be driven on a rough terrain ... Especially here in Alabama where you almost have to have 4x4 just to drive down the interstate (ALABAMA ROADS SUCK !!! HAHA)

Where did you get the motor controller you used? Im having issues with my homemade electric trike. 48 volt system. 18650 batteries in a 13s 2p configuration with a bms.

@joequixotic3039 4 жыл бұрын

I'm building a scooter with a similar motor setup. Mine is 1,800 watts and I got it from Amazon very cheap, around $130 a little over a year ago. The controller has a rating of 33 amps for 1,800 watts so you need a battery capable of that kind of current draw. If you want it to last for many hundreds of charge cycles, you have to use a battery that is easily capable of typical use and able to handle peak draw as well. For me, that's a 13s4p pack using LG M50T 21700s which are rated at 7.4 amps draw and can go to about 10 amps before the discharge curve gets bad. 8.25 amps max should be ok and I hope to cruise at about 2.5 amps per cell (about 500 watt power) for a 0.5C discharge rate. Some 18650s can handle similar currents or higher (for short times) but if you have half as many in parallel, your battery pack will be highly stressed. Even a 500 watt draw would be close to a 2C discharge and if you use cells made for high discharge, your cell current capacity will be pretty low and even lower if your discharge rate is very high. I could probably get away with a 13s3p battery using my LG M50T cells but I stepped it up to ensure my battery has an easy life. I would never even consider a 13s2p using 18650s even if they were the best high discharge cells money can buy.
