its better if u put the two wheels in front.

I thought of having a 'reverse' set up with a similar steering mechanism to a recumbent bicycle using tie rods and levers but it seemed too complex for a school project and I was on a tight budget.

top speed?

[samsmeg]

Top speed is around 18-20mph depending on the battery condition and road surface/gradient

[ramonet27101993]

ow many cost the battery

[samsmeg]

I don't understand what you mean? The batteries cost around £40 each from a local agricultural store that were fortunately lots of different spare batteries.

thats great, you should put the electronics on something a little more road funcional. the motors can be quite expensive you know.

[samsmeg]

Sorry about the almost year late reply! I didn't know there was so much interest! Yes the motors are quite expensive but only second to the batteries which were £40 each.
