We built a drift trike with guys from my engeneering class. We brougth an EVT 4000E electric scoot with dead sla batts for 150€, then we cutted it to make a trike, moving the rear 15kg brushed hub motor to the front fork. The thing is powered with the stock controller that is good for 120 amps at 48v (16s life). We used my old headway battery to power it and the cells are really suffering, we killed one this afternoon (0V...) The performance is still very entairtaining, the front wheel is skidding a lot under acceleration and the front tire won't last long!! We use temporary rubber wheels on the back, we should have our PVC and Go-kart wheels next weekend that should improove drifting response, it is quite hard to keep a good drift without going in a 180 ATM.

This project is a lot of fun, and a blast to ride. We usually ride it in 2min sessions because it really gives you a workout!
We are seeking sponsorship to get a better battery, something like 16s A123 20 ah could be perfect
I'm just uploading the latest video, i'll post it here when it will be done!
