Hypothetically speaking of course!

What would it take to "juice" an electric limo cart. I mean what is realistic, 72, 96 volts..and a big motor? I think it would be a great project down the road. I want something to push 1000lbs and climb over some crap, Any Insights?

I am collecting parts to build a 72 volt limo. All you really need is 72 volts worth of batteries, 72 volt controller and solenoid. I would use a torque motor...something like a beast motor. 72 volts should get you around 20+HP and enough torque to pull any hill. It may not be screaming fast but it will might have enough power to pull the front wheels.
