The Kart

I chose an Energy Kinetic shifter kart chassis as a starting point because of it's great tuning adjustments as well as its awesome Ven05 4 wheel braking system.  Plus the name "Energy" doesn't hurt either and as I devlop the motor controller I can race with the gas engine on it.

The Goal

The main goal of this project is to build a proper and competive racing kart that is powered by electricity.  Besides the fact that my current two stoke motor is really terrible for the environment I believe the electric motor stands a fighting chance in SCCA solo competition.
