    Let's just say that my wife has nothing to worry about while I'm out here.

    Shifter cart with a YZ125 Motor on it currently.

    I'll get that running, and play with it, but ultimately, it's getting a 3 phase electric motor, motor controller, and Li-Ion pack upgrade...

    It's one of the winter projects, as the cart needs some TLC as well.

    Do you need to, can you, keep the transmission with an electric motor? Seems like electric stuff gets CVT stuff usually, is that correct? A shiftable transmission sounds like crazy fun with an electric motor.

    I don't have too, but I will be keeping the motor and case in case I decide I want to.

    In the E-dirt bike world, some guys are taking the cylinder and such off, and keeping the existing dirt bike transmission and driving it with an electric motor.

    This video is basically the same the motor/controller/battery setup that will be going in this.

    So all the golf carts down here in Florida are lifted and tricked out. Seems like you could make a pretty sweet type of golf cart with this stuff, if not a mild ATV. Also seems like an electric kart would be a whole lot less likely to have the cops called you cruising around the neighborhood.

    Nice. With the "pimpin' rimz" too!

    The noise is part of it, but also the instant torque and infinite tuneability with nothing more than a laptop.

    With Li-Ion batteries, there is a lot that is possible now that wasn't, even just a few years ago.

    Seriously, even half the golf carts at this resort look like this. The picture is from the first motel I stayed at. One of my insureds had two at his house and was showing me pictures of his kids mudding in the backyard with his knobby tired carts. I was asking him what the deal with all the tricked out carts was and his response was literally, "It's Florida bro!"

    I guess it's like all things in life, someone, somewhere, wants to mod the crap out of it...
