Neurotikart II, lighter pilot, better motor

Alan takes a spin on the kart. This guy is 100 lbs lighter than me, but still a little nervous about opening the throttle all the way. The kart is a lot quicker with him on it, anyway.

I wish I'd gotten video of his (even lighter) sister driving it. She was running it up and down the street at top speed - a little scary. She didn't try to thrash it around the turns, though.

I don't get why in every video, you guys are just spinning the back end out.

that's actually not bad. If only the world wasn't dominated by larger cars, I'd buy one to drive to work.

stop spending money on these things and pay for a haircut for your kid

for $4500 you could have put a crotch rocket engine on it

not a bad creation, I'm an inventor myself, You should look into getting some better wider tires before you end up with a hellacious hospital bill. I would suggest racing gokart tires, 10 inch rims with low profile rubbers.

Hey what kind of kart frame did you use?

[dragonblood199]

Aww, guess since we have the same bettries, ours must be 50lbs too. Our motors look like the one your using in this video but I am not sure.

Wow, and I thought my karts were beasts... I'd guess the motor shown in this video weighs about 75 lbs, and the batteries about 50 each. The whole thing is 500 w/out driver. For all that, I was surprised at how quick it goes.

Just burning rubber ^_^

I think that is the motor our go karts use. It weights sooo much more than it looks.

our karts weigh around 700 Pounds. 100 - 150 for the motor, 60 per battery, and a massive body for stupid safety standards....

And then when a 500 pound guy sits in it, and gets the bumper stuck on top of another karts bumper, than the real fun begins.

"100 pounds lighter" is a conservative estimate.

Yeah, electric karts are always-on and don't lose energy when idling. It's a lot more fun for short distances than gas...
