How we made a DIY PVC / EMT Electric Go Kart (48V 2000W)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ก.ค. 2019
- We used PVC and EMT through it for a strong frame that looks cool and our kids could built it! Plus, it can handle a more powerful 2000 Watt brushless motor for little ones and adults - 40+ kph !!!

A step-by-step guide, and a parts list would be very helpful. I absolutely love your design
Yes please
Scott this is a great build.
It would be much appreciated by many if you made a video showing how to make this step-by-step. Including parts list, dimensions, how you made the steering, drivetrain, wiring, etc.
I really want to build my own
Yep! I agree!
This thing has more accessories than my Nissan
my first laugh for today
Brother please tell me how much for 1 im a barber from fall River m.a and want 1 of them
You user really fits this comment.
HAHA! Best comment I have seen all day.🤣🤣🤣
Like a battery? :D
one of the best diy go karts on TH-cam in my opinion. well done
I'll tell you something
I HAVE NEVER SEEN A CREATIVE & SMART DIY PROGECT LIKE THAT!
THIS TH-cam CHANNEL COSTS A LOT!
I’ve inquired about PVC or ABS trike or quad builds on forums. There are so many nay sayers out there chiming in with no experience with PVC or ABS. It’s nice to see someone implement/engineer something that is functional and to show what is possible.
I was going to go for the welding route for my build, yet after seeing your PVC setup and durability I like this
Adjustable seat is very smart touch! I liked it
I never expected PVC to be strong enough. Surprising. Very cool!
pvc see is insanley strong...you can drive over with a car and it wont break
I know from my own experience of building a 4 passenger pedal car ago that EMT conduit is a terrific product to build nearly anything with. A bit extravagant, but a VERY NICE project.
Great job, one of the best pvc frame kart I ever seen, looks beautiful
@@scottsheridan6558 do you any plans on this. Want to dona build for my daughters
This is a piece of art. very well done.
Man, that's an awesome kart you got there. Thanks for showing your piece here.
OH, 40KPH, I was thinking MPH. That's what I expect this motor to do. Great job.
45kph tops. MPH at 40mph for a 48v system, no way on 4wheels cart on small wheels.
@@robertangeles9537 wish knew what I reach, looking to go 15-19" wheels but maybe 2 motors, one low speed high torque and other that swap with for high speed and lower torque as think be best with 2 motors at moment, would like to understand how to reverse drive on one
@@mlee6050 he used a 3 phase brushless motor which can be reversed with your esc (electronic speed controller).
Just in case anyone wanted to know 40 kph is about 24.9 mph
@@absolutearcher yeah ouch, I go faster on my road bike just pedalling
Awesome build! Just getting into the electric side of things building mini bikes and go karts and love this.
Best of all I've seen on TH-cam so far. Very clean. Well done seriously.
Also don't add decals or change the looks. Pitch black makes it look like a batmobile. (unless ur sons want it of course)
WOW, this the most advanced GoCart ever I've seen. kind of engineering design. Man, you nailed it 110%. Your kid looks very happy. congratulation. I look forward to get some ideas from yours and make my own that fit my characteristics. thanks for sharing knowledge and inspiring others.
If you put together a parts list and an instruction video with paid access to that content. A lot of fathers including myself would definitely pay you for the knowledge and lists. Good job 👏🏻
Wow. Looks really good. Great job.
Wow! That's awesome!!! Nice work!
I love the pvc. It must have took a long time to add that detail.
I'm really Inlove! Great Job!
This is freaking awesome i want one, good video hope to see more like this one thanks for sharing
Very impressive! Great job...
Looks amazing, good stuff!
nah im for real going to make a gokart this summer, the excitement of thinking of how cool it would be to own and make one, then drive it in my city, thats the stuff
Now that's creative!! Good job.
Very nice go kart - it's like factory finish.
EV go cart and the video start with reving engine sounds. Brilliant!
Great project man! I was looking to build something like this, and I was wondering what I should use. You went over this in the video, but I was wondering if you had the link to the things in the video (motors, batteries, speed controller, etc.)
excellent craftmanship. graet work.
Beautiful machine.. It looks like the little car with which darthvader played as a child.
i like your diy, this is my inspiration
Thats pretty sweet! Love it!
Awesome build.
Very cool. Lucky kids you got there
Damn the coolest gocart ever
Awesome built! Would love to have the part list and layout if it's possible, thinking about building something like this for my godson!
Hey mate, managed to find the motor + esc on ebay AU, probably have the same for you guys on amazon etc.
Whats the motor
Very cool !!!! Great job !!!
Awesome job dude! 👍👍
Really cool, so far I've seen probably 10-15 requests for some sort of a parts list, even a basic one.. What diameter PVC? Looks like 1.5"
That dope! Best I’ve seen.
Great job looks so fun ☺️ Dodge prowler 😎
This is one of the best design and work I have seen here. By any chance you have frame specification and design, I am thinking to build one for my 6 year old son.
This thing is awesome! and Genius! 👍🏻😎👍🏻
i like the steering solution :)
Hi, nice project!! Can you share more details about it? number of pieces, sizes, electronic components. Thanks a lot!!
when you don't got a welder but you're a sick ass plumber
Impressive nice job !
Great video. Great father. Nice bonding.
😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎🤓🤓🤓
I love this build and would love to make this for my kids. Did you ever put a parts list or any sort of instructions on it? Nice job!
This looks sick 🤩 wish I could buy one
Great job.
I've been thinking about these 2000 watt kits and wondering if they would have enough power I might actually give this a try. Your cart looks awesome btw
Could you please add the list of parts used here, length of tubing, etc? In fact, I would to know if you would be willing to write a plan on how to do it? It's awesome man congrats!
Awesome work bro
Very well made
Awesome. Also very ingenuis. 👍
very smart man, though i recomend raising the body a bit and putting controll arms on for suspention
Would love it if you would make some playlists. Great video!
That is awesome. Man I wish I was that smart/patient. Built a go-cart from scratch outta trash basicly. Having a 7 year old little boy myself they have to be entertained or studying or stupid phones anyways Super Rad Dad!!! Man wish you were my dad. LOL
that thing is bangin' !!!
shoutout to the sons for the great camera work
I almost got to the end, but all your ahh’s & umh’s got to me! I tried to hang in there, it’s my no.2 pet peeve (no.1 is not using the turn signal ahead of time). I still subscribed.
How to win the dad of the year award.
DIY PVC frame is undoubtedly cool. For a toy, it suffices, but can't help but worry about chassis flex.
Can you post the plans for the build. Awesome Job!
Waw ....thx for share this video .... motivated me to make
Man I would love to see a step by step on how to build something like this. I found one on the side of the road which of course I picked up but doesn’t fire up it’s all built and complete but looks like it needs a new speed control board and battery but I have no clue on how to hook all the wiring up, any suggestions ?
The Mercado Channel There are plenty of DIY electric kart videos on TH-cam, and the motor/controller sets aren’t but $200. Good luck!
hi Scott, greeting from Indonesia....i really impress with your work.
i am about to built one for my 2 YO son, he was really into a "car" things.
i might use yours for my reference if you don't mind.
Hey! I also wanna know how did u build the steering. It looks really cool and can this steering also work if I want to put an actual go-kart steering wheel on it? Thanks!
That is sick!
Honestly this is amazing man your a very smart and creative guy I would love to purchase this or one if you would make another please let me know
Hell yeah id take 3
Yeah., it looks very professional, I think you covered all the gaps you found on your way., You can sell the Layout and Bill of Materials, I’ll buy it for sure!
That’s awesome!
This is high tech at reasonable cost
Brilliant work and looks great sure weights nothing, although be interested in what EMT you used cause after a quick read sounds brilliant or this sort of application
Hello, very nice work.
So cool design.. its stock-like
Real cool build 👍😎 Batmankart 😎
hi scott,
my son love it!
could you please provide us the total fittings needed and the size of it
we would like to make the frame exactly like yours
hello Scott, good. day!
I really liked your project. I'm Brazilian, I would love to do one of these for my grandson. Could you sell me the basic project?
Thank you
Awesome build but I was wondering do you have something to stop the seat from flying forward whenever you put a brake on it
Great job!! Very creative use of PVC! If no one else has nominated you for 'Father of the Year', let me be the first! If you're anything like me, you wanted this mainly for you, and the kids can use it, too! ;-) I'm (a very youthful) 64 years old, and I recently converted a gas-powered go kart to all electric.....I'm using a 48 volt system, also, with a 7Kw (5-11 horsepower) motor, with (4) 55aH batteries. I'm exploring the idea of converting to lithium batteries and a BMS.....Mine will get up to 45 mph...since I converted a commercial kart, mine has full front and rear suspension, so it's also great off-road. I ride it every single day around my neighborhood (weather permitting)! I'm starting work on another vehicle, this one a "reverse trike" (two wheels in the front, one (the drive wheel) in the rear. Who knows....I might use your idea and build the first one from PVC tubing! It's always cool to encounter a like-minded mechanical kindred spirit! Keep up the good work!
could you do a step by step tutorial so i can make an electric kart for my son too? send me an email if possible with the materials
This is a great build and a great video. You have inspired me to start my build for my kids.
I am very interested in how you used EMT and PVC piping.
Do you only have emt inside the pipe on the long straights? How did you reinforce the corners?
Hi Scott , good day.
Oh man its lovely , really fantastic work . If you can share the layout with all components and measurements that will be great.
Dammmmn I love it! BAD. ASS.
that is beautiful
this would drift so well in the dirt
Bellissimo!il carrozzo che mi faceva mio nonno era a tre ruote ..una davanti centrale con cuscinetto su un asse che comandavo con piedi e corda.. due ruote piu' grandi dietro indipendenti ..il tutto sotto una tavola unica ..freno a suola di scarpe con aggiunta di barretta frenante posteriore😎
Do you least have some of the video how you put the frame together? Love the video love the idea I want to build one ASAP?
after your inspiration we made a Gokart entirely of wood. Thank you for your inspiration. Our kids are glad to have such a nice car . We think about an eletric motor for our car in the next time.
Part 1 @
Part 2 @
Any plans on releasing the build plans for this?
It would be awesome If you upload video of whole process while making this Kart. And also please share the link of kit.
thank you for your idea and my daughter are happy..... i have a new homework
It looks nice theres a wobble on the wheels as well use capacitors and use it to it's true potential
Very impressive
very nice build! what kind of tires did you use? how do you transmit the torque to the wheel?
usually, mario kart sterring wheels are round types. but i think you got inspiration from the circut special.
This is the most creative DIY kart ive ever seen .. As far as I can tell the only flaw is the flex in the frame ... It doesn't really seem that bad but I'm sure at 40 mph on grass out in the yard it wouldnt be long before it snaps in half ... Reason being if I or anyone else who does NOT have access to a school track or an open lot was to build this it would be driven on a rough terrain ... Especially here in Alabama where you almost have to have 4x4 just to drive down the interstate (ALABAMA ROADS SUCK !!! HAHA)
Instead of red pin striping; How about blue lightning bolts!! Awesome build! Your kids are going to remember this for a long time!
