Achievements today
  • Motor turned up (hooray !). 750 watts. 36v 16A (which would indicate 500 watts)450rpm (geared). With sprockets, chain, and controller. Questions: will it be fast enough ? Will I need to double-up ?
  • Checked out go karts as donors for parts (no good, too expensive).
  • Found Chinese quad bike 49cc as donors (possibly very good).
  • Made eBay bid on a second-hand chinese copy 49cc Quad bike (for the wheels, axles, brakes, and steering components). Only one second hand advertised in Qld.
  • Researched and discovered the kids Quads have wheels too small.
  • Thoroughly researched. Found great picture of 3 wheel golf cart (2 front, 1 large rear).
  • Decided to do the same.
  • Likely "Pit Bike" rear wheel.
