168V Golf Cart

Here is a 17 second video of a test I did on 168 volts. There are 14 UPS batteries in the battery trays. The cart is at a dead stop when the video starts.

you should have set up a ramp at the end right when you hit top speed!!! boy would that be a ride LOL

It topped out just above 50 MPH and was only drawing 70 amps! The motor was a special wind I did myself and since it stayed together I figure I might have done something right. The whine is from the old Terrell diff 8:1 gears.

This cart is so light I can pick up the front or back even with the batteries in it but it will only go four miles at 50 MPH. It will cover the 1/8 mile and that's all I need for next years Bonanza!!

That bad *** Nate you should start building motors with your knowlage of electrical motors.

I have thought about building high voltage motors, there are plenty of places that build motors for 72V and down. I still have lots to learn but thanks for the vote of confidence!
