I already have an e-bike, so I am craving a 4 wheel kart build...
I have a little kart frame here, and I only want to go 30-35mph. My plan is to buy a Vevor type 72v brushless motor kit ($250 on Amzn), then attach a 60 tooth sprocket on a live axle. I will power this motor with the 72v lipo packs that I have. The motor claims to be 4,900 rpm, and I will be putting either 11 or 13" tires on it.
The motor comes with a cheap controller. I am hoping that if that controller doesn't work, I can use the QS 80 amp controller that came from the QS205 ebike hub kit...
Does all of this sound reasonable? Or am I setting myself up for disappointment?
