Very cool George . Excellent design . About the only thing I could think of adding is front fenders and a roll bar . Not really a roll bar just a light bar so you would be easier to see and fenders to keep mud or dirt down to a reasonable level . As sweet as the quadracycle design is I think I will build mine as a three wheeler so it can be a street legal " motorcycle " . Just a rocking good job .
If it had a small rollbar like a roadster, lights, turn signals, small windshield and windshield wiper it would be legal in many states on road registered and insured as a street legal dune buggy or sandrail. It would be here in oregon for sure, probably nevada and others. You'd have to sell them as kit cars though, even if mostly already assembled otherwise there are many more laws you'd have to follow like fenders and DOT safety testing and etc etc.
That it one beautiful machine. Is there a web site with motor and battery details? The only issue with this design is making it street legal. Which would be easier with 3 wheels. (Makes it a motorcycle legally)
Nice! the Zkart is very cool. Have you considered using a system with regenerative braking capabilities? Also a belt drive would be smooth with a lot less noise and wouldn't require lubrication. I just finished an electric go kart build with an AC system, and LiFePO4 batteries, its a little monster! Did you ever take this off road? Keep doin what your doin.
brilliant george...great to see true original thinking put into action...for so many people i think a car is a status symbol first not an efficient fun form of transport..
"What are you doing with this?" "I don't know yet." Its not always the destination, its the journey!! That guys was really touched by the experience, which is priceless.
Oh hell yeah - this was worth the wait ! ! ! That's a way better improved version of your quadricycle. Where the heck are the batteries - under the seat ?
I guess it's light,,suspesion and structure's very different from my 125 cc quad
acceleration is amazing,mindblowing!
and this thing's sound is not dull at all!!
just different,and definetely would be addictive for one,, I was one them that have preconceived ideas about electrical vehicles that they don't smell gas,neither vibrate or ratle therefore not exciting!!
I was wrong!!
and now I'm envious!!
can you give us some info,specs of motor,,bateries,,range etc.
This kind of thing is what the future will look like.
