      I converted an old riding mower into an electric go kart. I used a battery box to store the electronics. If I had needed to go bigger, I was looking at using a toolbox. They are incredibly versatile and relatively cheap for what they are.

    Wow I miss my 68 Dodge Van sold it 4 years ago , had it for 25 years, the NH salt got to it… many good memories… I’ll have one again some day when I have a garage. Great idea , and build! We have come along way in just a few years. Feels like a few years……. Thanks for your time!

Those were the days of hippies, Tricky Dicky and the emergence of a person called DIRT WOMEN aka Donny Corker. Nowadays , no bumpers, no witty stickers and no fun.

    This was built by a friend. I just shot the video. He researched all the off-the-shelf battery and controller technology and then integrated it all himself. He is uber talented in design, fabrication, and CNC skills. The batteries are the less expensive lithium iron phosphate type. I think he has $30k in this total, including the donor vehicle. To operate, it effectively gets about 130 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent cost-wise. About 90 miles per charge. Top speed is 80mph.

    No. He studied the EV forums. He's hit some of the local electric vehicle shows for PR. He's a very talented fabricator and CNC machinist. This is a serious undertaking in effort and money. That adapter piece between the motor and the clutch was all machined out of aluminum. Most everything else was off the shelf from DIY EV component suppliers.
