Mini E-karts

Multiple small yet highly powerful electric karts were developed! 
For the past 6+years we have iterated more than 6 times, which results in a incredibly exciting and mature product!
  • E-kart V1

    The initial design was not much more than a hover-board kart using some skateboard trucks. It was great fun but quite unstable and sensitive to speed-wobble.

  • E-kart V3

    Improvements were made to lower the center of mass, and increase the stability of the system. Steering was however stil done by leaning into the corner, like a skateboard.

  • E-kart V4

    A big improvement was the addition of proper all-wheel suspension, and a fully-functional steering wheel.

  • Custom overmoulded wheels

    In this version the wheels were actually custom-made! Multiple moulds were made in order to resin-cast the wheel rims, after which a second mould would allow us to overmould cast the tough rubber wheel around it, just like real skateboard wheels, but much bigger.

  • E-kart V6 concept

    Since the karts were such a joy to drive on, further improvements and iterations were undertaken.

  • E-kart V6 machining

    In the end, nearly the entire kart could be simply machined out of 10mm thick aluminium plates.

  • E-kart V6 machined parts

    All the parts are sandblasted prior to coating.

  • E-kart V6 result

    The final result is a very compact monster of a machine, outputting 6kW (8hp) of power easily reaching speeds in excess of 70km/h, with a reach of 80+km!

  • Suspension system

  • Custom speedo and trip data logger

    We developed and programmed our 100% custom speedo. It logs everything from battery voltage, speeds, rpm, distance, etc, which allows us to characterise the performance of the kart.

    Slick design, great performance! Thousands of km have allready been driven with these little monsters. :)
    More to come in the future!
