40mph shopping cart



Previous speed: 2mph Present speed
: 40 +. Motor: 5hp disk drive motor “teflon wire to support present”.
Motor controller: Curtis 275a 36v from an EZ-go golf cart.
Power supply: 2x 125ah marine batteries.

Side notes: Holes were drilled into the case of the motor to allow cooling from the connected fan, along with the attached duct work to funnel air while at high speeds. The wheels are from the last electrical go-cart, sadly it fell from the transport truck at 50mph, bent the frame and drive wheel … which is why it wobbles.
