Hey all!
I am currently working on a new project which is going to be a gokart powered by 2 12v battery's and a forklift motor.
he motor runs at 12-24v and was pulled off of an old forklift at the junkyard (the motor does work!). currently i have mounted the motor in a bracket attached to the frame securely and modified the chain to keep tension on the motors gear to prevent sliping. the only problem now is putting it into practice. applying 12v to the motor does move the kart so i know it would work, my problem is that im not sure what the best way to implement everything including a fake handbrake (The motor has wires which when shorted cut the motors power and stop it). So what is the best way to implement all this it would also be nice to include a keybarrel or maybe a killswitch. let me know what you come up with
