Although these tools come from different brands, they are nearly identical since I’m based in Europe, and these products are sourced from the USA.
In this video, I take on an epic challenge: turning a humble $45 ladder into a roaring 7000W electric go-kart! 🛠️💨 Watch as I use creativity, engineering skills, and some off-the-shelf components to build a machine that’s fast, fun, and fully functional. Along the way, I’ll walk you through the build process, the parts I used, and the final test ride-spoiler alert: it’s a wild ride! Buckle up and join me for this electrifying journey. 🚗⚡
