Mmm it's obviously not running at 50,000 watts. Car batteries can put out a high number of amps to get the starter going. The deep cycle batteries used on the kart can only push out 100 amp each for a MAXIMUM of 5 seconds. So the maximum he could pull out of these batteries would be 800 amps and that would only be for 5 seconds before the batteries begin to fail. I've seen 3,000 watt electric karts drift exactly the same as this. It's cool but the numbers are obviously way off.
Gadget Addict ahh, no, 50,000 is wattage of the motor, the amperage rating is not the "maximum" output. It is the capacity, you are thinking of voltage, you cannot pull more voltage than the battery puts out. You can pull a higher amperage out of a battery than its amperage rating, but pulling out alot of amps from a battery will deplete it faster and create alot of heat. You may say im full of shit, but look at the lexus ct200h, it has a 80 hp motor electric motor that runs on a 1-2 amp 100-200 volt battery, of course it only runs for a mile in ev mode, but the battery is designed not to go below 80% because the car is a hybrid electric.
Owiko7 You're getting confused between the amp hour rating of the battery and amps. Voltage multiplied by amperage = watts. Deep cycle batteries can only push out so many amps.
Gadget Addict Sigh* No. I already know that, batteries can push out more amps than they hold, you still think it's like volts, Amp hours is how many ours the battery last, Amp hour is just a measurement of how many amps it can give out in an hour , like kilo-meters an hour or miles per hour, or gallons per minute. you can pull out more amps than the battery is rated for, amp hours has very little to do with this. There is no magical bottle neck like you speak of, except for how long it lasts before it's dead. a car starter motor could pull 500 amps from the 100 amp battery, and besides, how do you know the batteries are deep cycle car betteries? unless they say that.
Owiko7 If you connect a 1amp load to your 100AH battery, it will run for 100 hours. If you connect a 10 amp load it would run for 10 hours. SImple and we both understand that. Car batteries are designed to handle a huge number of amps for a short period of time to crank the engine; deep cycle batteries are not designed to handle that. Both batteries have very specific maximum amp draw ratings and they can only be managed for a very short period of time. Check the specs on your batteries and you'll understand better :)
Hahaha I love how he gets a few feet out of the garage, looks both ways, and then just starts drifting almost from a standstill lol. My eyes got all big.
You can clearly see that beast has way more than 100 amps. my drift RC car has a around 60 Amps cont. at 7.4 to 11.1V and probably around 80 A burst for a few seconds. I know this car is 48V way more than my little rc car, but still that beast has tons of traction and weight (in comparison to my RC car for example) and goes so damn fast. ps: That thing packs quite a few power. (at least the 50cc 2 stroke karts from here can't do that and they go around 40 mph max). This seem to be around a 125cc 2 stroke kart (but I'm not sure as I'm not an expert on those things).
@TimpBizkit yeah, you get what i mean. the description says: 1000amp motor controller, but doesnt say 1000amp motor, its just overdimensionized .. which is good and safe, but doesnt mean that this is a 50kW go kart.
nice driving, and nice rig. electrified vehicles are RIDICULOUS! the John Searl IGV (Inverse Gravity Vehicle) can make it from NYC to LA in 15 minutes!!
Agreed :) And the best part about being electric is they can run through a wide speed band, unlike 2 stroke engines that must be run at full revs or else they'll foul the plugs and cause all sorts of trouble. This could be useful for novice karters practising high power karts.
lot of power but what is the top speed on that thing? Seems like it would not be real fast on thop end unless you geared it way different. Still a cool kart and looks like it was built very well.
@ashho56 so it goes so fast that it spins out of control basically? if thats the case i would use a motor controller or something. seems like a waste to me, that much power, but it cant be controlled so easily.
@shuntedbywing I would say that seeing a hairdryer is on average 1500w this motor is more closer to around 50000W, cause it does look like a starter from a bulldozer or dump truck and you need more wattage than a hairdryer to start one of those. watts = Volts x Amps so 48V x 1000A = 48000w
how much money did you spend on the batteries and the motor? and how much in total? i m thinking about making an electric kart as a project for school.
Whooh... Inspiring, which motor do you use? Which tire compound did you use?.. I would try to get a soft compound with a wider tread: more surface area and more stick. And with your weight, you could consider 6" rims (at least.. if you're intending to race with it). If it's only for fun, this looks ok
He built it, and it is not cheap. The motors we commonly use in electric drag racing or go karts are called series-wound DC motors. These are the highest torque motors of the DC type. The motors can be bought from evparts.
@kostis007 yeah was kinda thinking the same. not the head part, but u need som serious cables for 1000 amps. allso with the connections they have made, u need constant current of 500 amps on each battery, wich is kinda hard to belive. doesnt seem to need more power, tho.
Nice! This cart is awsome, I contemplated putting a Briggs and stratton E-tech motor on my kart but the price of the batteries scared me away! How much did you pay for your batteries?
I guess you need a new set of tires everytime you drive it? is it possible to drive it in a straight line?
1st but 10 years late :/
never expected to see you here!
All go cart tracks should have a million of these!

Whoa... major props on putting together that monster. I didn't think you could get that kind of torque with an electric motor.
R.I.P Tires
Hahaha I love how he gets a few feet out of the garage, looks both ways, and then just starts drifting almost from a standstill lol. My eyes got all big.
It's not 50,000 watt, it's 50,000 where
what?
This is the first time I saw something electric that got me excited.
50000 watts? You need a new calculator...
thats what i reckon too.
48x1000 is 48000 watts or 48kw would usualy round up to 50kw or 50000 watts? think you need a new calculator
@@klab3929 don't be such downer :-)
@@IamJiva I was a year ago, now i'm a upper.
@@klab3929 i’m with u on the calculations👌🏽
I call that crispy cream hybrid. Amazingly fun and environmentally sound very well done!!!
1000 amp ?????? no 100amp yes
You think a hundred amps will do that? You must be a mechanical engineer.
RyeGuy8 lol, he must be a custodian
Rob M Have a look at the title. 50KW kart, so 48x1000 would seem great for a estimation.
You can clearly see that beast has way more than 100 amps.

@@ChazmicSupanova 4 batteries per side all in series 96VDC X 520 Amp =50,000 watts divide by 746 = 67 HP
where did you get such a strong electric motor??
I`ve searched everywhere but didn't found any...
It's nice to see someone who's thinking a little alternative and care for environment-friendly BHP.. :)
i got to get me one of these !!!
every time i get surprised by the enormous power of electric cars, Karts you name it :)
@TimpBizkit
yeah, you get what i mean. the description says: 1000amp motor controller, but doesnt say 1000amp motor, its just overdimensionized .. which is good and safe, but doesnt mean that this is a 50kW go kart.
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!. That is amazing!!!. Its so fast, the tires spn out before you even go!!!
I was not expecting that much raw awesomeness
that looks like serious fun. I am compelled to build one over the summer, but with carbon fiber. Less weight, faster acceleration
nice driving, and nice rig. electrified vehicles are RIDICULOUS! the John Searl IGV (Inverse Gravity Vehicle) can make it from NYC to LA in 15 minutes!!
Love the silent overtaking..on track of course :D
dang, those tires were as smooth as a baby's bottom at the end!!! XD
So much torque from an electric motor its insane.
Haha, I like the background convo at the end. Nice cart. I want one
awsome
u cant just drive whith it? or its just making burnout all the time?
where do you have the timing belt and the belt?
Gotta love the torque on electric motors..
Agreed :) And the best part about being electric is they can run through a wide speed band, unlike 2 stroke engines that must be run at full revs or else they'll foul the plugs and cause all sorts of trouble. This could be useful for novice karters practising high power karts.
How long will the batteries last on the track?
Also, what kind of cost is involved in the conversion?
Pretty sweet though!!!
lot of power but what is the top speed on that thing? Seems like it would not be real fast on thop end unless you geared it way different. Still a cool kart and looks like it was built very well.
now with an electric motor,
its not really bad to do peel outs/donuts right?
where do you get electric motors
its proberly got more emmissions just from tyre smoke!
well done!
very nice! where you have the motor from? I couldn´t find a dealer in Germany :(
That looks ridiculously fun!
I have been working on building a couple electric vehicles. Where did you get your batteries and PWM controller?
That should bee seen on the MANSHOW!!
Hell yeah. Now, If we could build stuff like this when we where kids!
DRIFTING IS AWESOME!!!! WAY TO SHOW a 50,000 WATT GO KART!!!!!YEH!!!!!!
Do you know where you found that frame? I am looking for a good frame to build an electric go kart like this
@ashho56 so it goes so fast that it spins out of control basically? if thats the case i would use a motor controller or something. seems like a waste to me, that much power, but it cant be controlled so easily.
can you use differnet tires ... fo a go kart or only tose drift tires ,, ??? and whybwere they squaking was that the drfit .. respond .. thanks
@shuntedbywing I would say that seeing a hairdryer is on average 1500w this motor is more closer to around 50000W, cause it does look like a starter from a bulldozer or dump truck and you need more wattage than a hairdryer to start one of those.
watts = Volts x Amps so 48V x 1000A = 48000w
props just for keeping control of that thing in that small of a space. lol
how much money did you spend on the batteries and the motor?
and how much in total?
i m thinking about making an electric kart as a project for school.
so nice xD everybody will like the sound for shure :D
Dayam, CJ. Transfenders give you a good price on that 10x nitro?
Whooh... Inspiring, which motor do you use?
Which tire compound did you use?.. I would try to get a soft compound with a wider tread: more surface area and more stick. And with your weight, you could consider 6" rims (at least.. if you're intending to race with it).
If it's only for fun, this looks ok
@sireofdarkness
where do you live? the desert or something?
@mfanady . What was total build cost? what kind of power supply?
awesome drift! nice toy especially the bucket seat. :)
Where would I find these motors USED or what are these used in? thank you-
He built it, and it is not cheap. The motors we commonly use in electric drag racing or go karts are called series-wound DC motors. These are the highest torque motors of the DC type. The motors can be bought from evparts.
Where do you buy that kind of motors? They are extreme.
That is totally awesome! Good job!
@EETechs exactly, people just underestimate the potential of electric powered mechines.
How much did the batteries cost, and how long can they last for in one complete charge? How much did it cost in general? Please help !!!!!!!!
thanks.
nagyon megy milyen motor van rajta
how long did it take to make?
lol how long do the batteries last? and how would this go against petrol carts?
i hafe a quesion.. how lon can you ride these accu's bofore you hafe tot rechar it.. and how long to rechar?
what did it cost and what motor does it use im looking to make one
Where do you get a 1000 amp motor controller!?
where did you get the batteries?
where did you get the engine?
How long does it go for ?????
And once the battery is empty, how long do u need to charge it until full ....
what kind of cables did you use that could handle 1000 amps?
thanks .. can you send me a linkof all the different kinds if tires thanks .. really appreciate it
What kind of run time do you think that it has?
Man I just knew that the tires where going to blow out. I m surprised there was any rubber left. That was a pretty powerful go cart.
@sajabz2007
More important: how long do the tyres last?
amazing dude, how much is this ride? i want exactly this one.
so the motor has the shunt removed? doesent seem to have much speed control.
how much driving time does one charge get you?
what kind of motor is that? i can't seem to find a similar one
Thats some serious rubber burning there!
I love the smell of roasted tire in the morning :D Good build, guys.
That was wicked , how long of a run can you get out of it?
@kostis007
yeah was kinda thinking the same. not the head part, but u need som serious cables for 1000 amps. allso with the connections they have made, u need constant current of 500 amps on each battery, wich is kinda hard to belive. doesnt seem to need more power, tho.
only 60mph ? is it geared down ?
what motor r u using
does it have a transmission or just 1 speed
how long does it run on a single full charge?
How many seconds does a normal set of rear tyres last on this?
how long do the batteries last ?
Riiiiiight.... aside doing burns, whats top speed of this ?
Excuse me, can it go straight? Or just spinning in the same place.
How long does it last on full charge? LOVE it ;-p
OMFG that thing is wickedly fast... speechlesssssss...
can you tell me how long the batteries will stay charged on that?
what kind of a motor? a forklift motor?
how long will it last at top speed?
uve never heard of a chain being used for 3k rpm? how do u think engines work?
Why not built an arena with induction coils and remove the batteries for good?
MY GOD THE NOISE.
...but awesome go kart, I wish I had one of those. I should make one some day.
Nice! This cart is awsome, I contemplated putting a Briggs and stratton E-tech motor on my kart but the price of the batteries scared me away! How much did you pay for your batteries?
how long do you charge it?
what type of motor does it have in it???
How fast does it go and how long between charges?
is the gas paddle only an on/off switch??? ;D
can you change the tires ? like instead of drift tires /...
and can he drives it also? in place of spinning around?
If I owned a kart that powerful I'd rob a bank and leave a trail of banana skins behind me.
