Neuroti-Kart: Custom-Built Electric Go Kart

Created by "wires99", this custom-built electric go kart is "powered by four, 12V car batteries and the frame was made from Home Depot gas pipes." Video after the jump. A short word from its creator:
This is the Neuroti-Kart. (PsychoKart was taken) Homemade electric go-Kart. Design goals: electric powered, quiet, fast, capable of doing donuts in my street

Hi. I just discovered your link to my gokart, which I call "Neurotikart". Thanks for the mention! Kenny mentioned that the motor slows after skids. He's right - the controller has a delayed acceleration curve programmed into it, and I have been unable to change it. I hear that this makes life easier on the controller. Besides, in the original application, you didn't want the controller to be too aggressive and spill all the golf clubs. :D A cop saw me with it on the street and warned me that I really shouldn't drive it on public streets. He was nice about it and didn't ticket me. The neighbors are ok with it, because I really don't take it out much, and they can drive it if they want. I'm building a second one and taking video as I go along. I hope to show that, if I can do it, you can. It's not really too hard. I don't really have drawings or plans, but I'm working on that, too. It's just not as fun as building and driving. The key things needed to build one are a MIG welder (less than $400), a saw (a hacksaw will do, but I have a cheap bandsaw, about $170), some basic tools, and the desire. Thanks again for the mention! -Mark www.neurotikart.com
