Working with LMC we now have a very high efficiency motor, weighing just 10.9kg but 92-93% efficient. A truly amazing lightweight simple in design brushed DC motor. Why DC and brushed?, well we looked into several factors- one being cost, and simplicity of operation. At safer, lower voltages aka. 90v and below, DC brushed motors are very good efficiency, lightweight and simple in operation, requiring no extra cooling and wiring bits ‘n bobs. As the Navigator is an off road kart we use large 20″ diameter wheels on the front and 22″ wheels on the rear, this gives the kart very good ground clearance and affords you a more comfortable ride.

You should also keep in mind that a higher output may not necessarily mean better. This is because high output motors are usually heavier in weight and also require bigger batteries. It can add to the weight of your go-kart and it’s therefore recommended that you find a motor that hits the sweet spot in terms of output to go-kart weight ratio. VoltageThe biggest choice any DIY go-kart builder has to make is choosing between an electric motor and a gas-powered engine. In this section, we will tell you why the former is a better choice for your go-kart. Take a look! They Are Clean for the Atmosphere In this review and buying guide, I’ll go through the best electric motors for go-karts and highlight some of their specification and benefits. We’ll also go through some of the features that you should look out for when buying an electric go-kart motor. By popular demand due to the success of our Go-Kart Build video, Go-Kart Alley is now producing our own line of quality engineered vintage go-kart kits! This is where our Ingenuity paves the way for your own Action Adventures! The size or output of your electric go-kart motor should always be in proportion to the weight of your go-kart. In general smaller go-kart motors (350 to 800 watts) should be used for lightweight or go-karts that are meant for kids. Mid-range electric go-kart motors (1,000 to 2,000 watts) are meant for medium-sized or youth go-karts. Larger motors that are 2,000 watts and above are suitable for racing or heavier adult go-karts.

BIZ Karts is a go-karting manufacturer that’s based in London, United Kingdom and has been manufacturing racing go-karts since the 1990s. ECOVOLT NG+ is their latest release and this go-kart features an array of improvements and technical innovations compared to its predecessor. With regards to its performance, this go-kart is equipped with a 10.5kW interior permanent magnet (IPM) motor, giving it 45 Nm of torque. As their name suggests, internal combustion engines use heat to generate motion. The entire process involves pressurized fuel, micro-explosion, and friction between different components. However, despite the complex process, these engines only manage to partially convert energy into motion. When I started this fun project two years ago, I never thought we could achieve so much with very little; it’s been a learning curve. Our last ZeroK version was all about using power aggressively. Now ZeroK takes a different, more elegant approach to the use of energy. After a visit to PFI for testing for karting magazine, a visit to Donnington park and a TV appearance with Tom Wood for BBC news, our chance meeting with Lucas di Grassi’s formula e team manager of ABT Schaeffler inspired us to re-think and ‘go green’, using as little of the precious stuff as possible. Why? Because even with the latest, lightest of all batteries, they’re heavier than petrol, much heavier. It’s a shame there wasn’t a petrol engine with 93% efficiency – you could run for one week on one tank, or enduro race on a cup full. – Smile Another great entry into our list of best electric go-kart motors is the 1800 W Electric Motor Kit. As the name already gives away, this electric motor has a power output of 1,800 watts, which is powerful enough for any type of go-kart.The Mophorn 2000 W Electric Motor Kit is the best electric motor for go-karts in our list, due to its power, superb build quality and it’s high performance-to-cost ratio. Not only is this electric motor powerful and reliable, but it comes in a set that includes many components for your go-kart. This electric go-kart motor kit contains a 2,000 watt brushless electric motor, a speed controller, a screw set and wrenches for easy installation. Electric motors, on the other hand, generate very little heat during their operation. Plus, they efficiently convert almost all the electrical energy into motion. Their Maximum Torque Is Constant Keep in mind that the output of the motor should be appropriate for the weight of your go-kart. You should also include the driver’s weight in the weight calculation. You also don’t want to overpower your go-kart if it’s meant for kids. Conversely, you also don’t want to underpower your go-kart if it’s meant for racing or if your go-kart is heavier. The best is to find a sweet spot. Each one of our Go-Kart Alley karts is different and unique in its own way, yours should be too. Our frames give you a baseline to build off of. And with our full line of custom parts from Go Power Sports, you can create your very own different and unique go-kart; A creation that reflects who you are.
