Electric Go Kart
- Calculated that chain is "420" (ie 6.35 width between plates, 12.7mm pitch)
- Looked hard for, and found, sprocket for the electric motor - namely: http://tncscooters.com/partsdb.php?type=ES
- It is called a "D-Bore" sprocket.
- Decided axle (17mm steel) ... because it is too much trouble to cut "keyways" in expensive axles ... which cost $150 new anyway ... and even if purchased second hand, have to use expensive hubs and carriers for everything (crazy !).
- Thoroughly welded is going to be plenty strong, and reliable.
- Also - get to use little sprocket (14 teeth).
- Worked out how to weld round wheel bracket to rear axle.
- Spoke to Poppy about this, and got his approval to do this.
