    i absolutely agree with this, and its been on my mind also. good work getting in contact with uk cyclekarts and getting the information required to take things further.
    i might also add, the cyclekarts will need some degree of scrutineering. i also think if a rear diff is used, a brake rotor must be installed on both sides to ensure it will stop. id hate to smash into someone all because one wheel didnt quite have enough grip, and therefore no brakes. i know simplicity is key, but so is safety, and i didnt incorporate crumple zones in my design ;)
    might help with insurance also if they know we are actively scrutineering the vehicles

Just need to compensate for that in the design somehow.

      Good to note. Ill be running my spring horizontally, and this spring is perfect for that application. So i guess its no good for 2 leaves up front

These hubs accept the 35x17mm bearings that gokarts use on the front wheels, so can use nice strong 17mm stub axles. They currently have 35x15mm. This rim seems much friendlier for cyclekart application as opposed to the ct90/110 rims.   More ...

    Hello all. About to embark on my first build. Wheels arrived today. Been looking into this for a while now, and the time has come. My build will be electric (qs138 4000w) which is the equivalent to a honda 6.5hp

The the more amps i pump into it, the less range ill get. You can go crazy with these things, a bac8000 controller will give 32kw, and non stop tyre frying. it draws 800 phase amps, Im not going down that route obviously, ill have to find a happy medium between power and range, ill set a normal tune at 150 phase amps, and a power setting of 350-400 phase amps. I still have to build it and test it. So to answer your question, im not sure yet  More ...
