How we made a DIY PVC / EMT Electric Go Kart (48V 2000W)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- 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 !!!
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!
Does anyone have the build instructions???
I was wondering the same.. it would be good to have at least some high level plans to try to build it
A step-by-step guide, and a parts list would be very helpful. I absolutely love your design
Yes please
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.
one of the best diy go karts on RUclips in my opinion. well done
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 👏🏻
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.
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
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
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 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
This guy should sue Tesla over that "yoke" steering wheel they blatantly copied his design
And at the same time airline companies
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
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.
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.)
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
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!
DIY PVC frame is undoubtedly cool. For a toy, it suffices, but can't help but worry about chassis flex.
Awesome build! Just getting into the electric side of things building mini bikes and go karts and love this.
when you don't got a welder but you're a sick ass plumber
EV go cart and the video start with reving engine sounds. Brilliant!
Im literally building your design rn you showed me everything i needed to know about a pvc go kart the way you put the wheels on had me stumped but i found a different way to put them on
How did you figure out the wheels
@@zengetsbored3961 it wouldn’t work the wheels would be like 6 inches away from the go kart
@@_Dbxizms oh ok thank you
@@zengetsbored3961 im gonna order spindles and attach them to the go kart if that helps
Very nice go kart - it's like factory finish.
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
Sweet ride man the plumbing was a genius idea. Light weight.
Man, that's an awesome kart you got there. Thanks for showing your piece here.
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 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.
thats sick, i wanted to build one for a while
Hi, nice project!! Can you share more details about it? number of pieces, sizes, electronic components. Thanks a lot!!
Best of all I've seen on RUclips 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)
Instead of red pin striping; How about blue lightning bolts!! Awesome build! Your kids are going to remember this for a long time!
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.
This is a piece of art. very well done.
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"
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😎
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)
Parts list please! That is a work of art! So BEAUTIFUL. IM BUILDING AN RC GO CART
Plzzzzz yesss
I love the pvc. It must have took a long time to add that detail.
Beautiful machine.. It looks like the little car with which darthvader played as a child.
shoutout to the sons for the great camera work
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
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 @
How to win the dad of the year award.
Nice job Scott and sons. But you mention a "kit", could we possibly have a link to buy the kit ourselves.
Ebay
It's the most and controller
That is awesome! Any chance of a list of the electrical and mechanical parts you purchased?
Looks like the 2000kw amazon gokart package. It's pretty simple to install
@@roodick85 Do you have the link to the package?
Build a new one, but document how you've done it. Beautiful design. Consider using Makers Pipe. About to start a build soon, once I acquire all moving parts, I'll flip the motor(: fun stuff.
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 RUclips, and the motor/controller sets aren’t but $200. Good luck!
Any plans on releasing the build plans for this?
This is very impressive to be made out of PVC.
this would drift so well in the dirt
It would be awesome If you upload video of whole process while making this Kart. And also please share the link of kit.
Can you please make an in depth tutorial on how to make it or can you make a list of everything you used and blueprints for the length of the PVC parts
Can you post the plans for the build. Awesome Job!
Saludos desde...COLOMBIA AL AMIGO QUE CONSTRUYO ESTE HERMOSO GOKART...YO TAMBIEN DESEO CONSTRUIR UNO CON MIS PROPIAS MANOS
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
Its a genius invention, so you're genius. Its not a common thing.
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!
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!
usually, mario kart sterring wheels are round types. but i think you got inspiration from the circut special.
Would be cool if you made a step-by-step step process on how to make it
I'll echo other comments here - please put plans up. I'd be happy to spend $10 or so for full instructions.
very smart man, though i recomend raising the body a bit and putting controll arms on for suspention
This is high tech at reasonable cost
Scott Sheridan, if you can give me some rough measurements, I will create a 3D model of the frame and share it with you.
Hello! I Love this DIY Pvc Go Kart and I was wondering if you can send me a layout of your go-kart so I can build a similar design with it. I love this idea and it brought so much attention to me! Thanks A lot!
me too
Me too

Anyone tip it over? Turning at high speed would probably be an issue. Amazing build, love it
Can you show how to make it please
Would love it if you would make some playlists. Great video!
Now that's creative!! Good job.
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
I wish you had detailed parts, the build and the cost. Pretty amazing.
It'ould be cool if your were to do a DIY video series on how to make it.
I know I'm late on this comment but I must say
That kart sounds like a V12 Pagani
Hi Scott, Could you please explain what you mean by saying: PVC with EMT tubing through the frame. Do you mean that you used EMT as reinforcements (I see several EMT thin tubing around front and rear end) or did you use EMT inside the PVC pipes? (EMT that is not visible). Could you also tell me what size PVC (2"?) have you used? Did you have issue with finding bearings that fit inside the 4 ways? Any help IS GREATLY appreciated
Nice Go Kart. If those batteries don't have built-in BMS's (battery management system), you'll want to check the voltage of each individual battery from time to time.
This is freaking awesome i want one, good video hope to see more like this one thanks for sharing
Nice job. I'm sure the kids love it. I suppose if u shorted the motor it would provide some braking. Or reversing the polarity.
can I get a parts list? I was thinking about making my own kart as well. Thanks!
@TenMartiin Hi Martin, I would love to have the parts list as well. Very cool project.
wing it due go find salvage stuff at recycles n junk yards n off letgo rebuild it
Please post parts lists!!!
Since there are so many request for a part/build list have you considered doing so, if Giu have please send me and my grandson one. If you are and have a fee, please let us know thank you very, very much…pops & K (my grandson)😊
It looks nice theres a wobble on the wheels as well use capacitors and use it to it's true potential
Scott, what was the all in cost for this project? If you don’t mind saying?
Hello mate have you got the build instructions measurements by any chance??? This is quality my son won’t stop asking me to build one with him
clean cable management
Great video. Great father. Nice bonding.
😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎🤓🤓🤓
This gokart is made stronger than the 2019 Mustangs !
Looks amazing, good stuff!
Very cool. Lucky kids you got there
excellent craftmanship. graet work.
Damn the coolest gocart ever
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
I wish you can share the PARTS LIST and where to buy them. I'm so in love with it and I want to built one. I understand electrical/electronics so it will be easy. Thanks
You can buy the speex controller and the motor and pas pedal as a kit on ebay. I got mine for $141
Bernie Frazer can you share the link
I am not in US so cannot be able to use ebay or amazon so ı need to find them on aliexpress. Would you mind sharing the links for the major parts you've used please, thsn ı can search on aliexpress. Or even parts with their specs, please.
Whoa!!! May I get a parts list ! That’s freakin cool !
can you plz give me the parts list for the frame and can you make a tutorial for making the entire go kart
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?
pretty cool and clean build, using regular atv batteries seems like a good cheap route. but when i saw it does 36 i was excited but then realized it was kmh so probably 15 mph top speed which is pretty slow. great for kids though. be cool if you made a faster version in the future.
Hola muy muy chulo y bonito me gustaria que me detallases el tren delantero de las ruedas que no lo veo. Bien. Un saludo desde sevilla españa
My son won't stop asking me to make him one now lol.
Wish there was plans for this, for now ill do my best to see how it was made lol, hope you don't mind
There's plenty on that EV nerds forums lots of plans on there on small and big electric go karts.
Best build I've seen so far,,any chance of a link to the battery level indicator panel
Wow. Looks really good. Great job.
Hi Scott. Cool bulid. Could you send drawings/partlist, and link to that kit with motor/kontroller? thanks
