This video is your guide to build an electric go-kart out of broken hoverboards. So we recently gathered a bunch of hoverboards, some of them were broken and the other not in a good shape. So we took them apart and started with the tyres which basically houses the brushless outrunner motors. We decided to use four of them so that our kart is going to be four wheel drive… cool isnt it.
The next step was to design and built the frame for the kart which we build using metal tubes. As we chopped the lengths to our required dimensions we drilled a bunch of holes to assemble the frame using allen bolts.
Once the frame started comming together we mounted the tyres/motors and started working on the stearing mechanism that was simple push-pull asssembly. As we machined all the parts for stearing we connected both the front wheels using teo pairs of ball joints and threaded screws which allows smooth stearing movments.
To drive our homemade go-kart we decided to go with the hoverboard speed controllers to control the speed and direction of motors. As we have got four motors so we needed two boards but the problem was that initially the boards were programmed to work along with two onboard gyros to assist the controller for direction and speed of each motor w.r.t the tilt angle. Now we need to control the direction of motors using two joy sticks, one for forward and the other one for reverse direction.
As we started this project we knew nothing about embeded system designing so here i am highly thankful to SkillShare for not only sponsoring this video but also allowing us to learn and improve our programing skills that helped us reprogram the control boards according to our needs. The whole process took some time and lots of trouble shooting but eventually we repurposed the boards.
Later we build ourself lithium ion battery pack with 14 cells connected in series so the battery pack offered a nominal voltage of 54v with a capacity of nearly one killowatt-hour that’s sufficient enough to get this kart rooling for almost an hour.

Can u make a video on the modifications to the controllers please
Love from India ??

У вас такой глупый взгляд у всех

What software for designing the frame did you use "freecad"?
Nice to see a video with people using mostly handtools, and few small standing tools. Not some huge fully equipped million $ workshop. Only crit would be that the music track is very repetitive and annoying, would rather just hear you guys explaining and discussing the build.
Brakes are missing
Its better to be 2 wheels drive instead of 4 wheel drive
My broken hoverboard ?
tries to test max speed with a dummy brake pedal
Bro if we need to buy the go kart how much
Top speed?
Awesome work big big like bro. Super se upar
How did u do with electrics?
You guys ever hear of wearing safety glasses geez
Very cool work
Genious!! Amazing work!
You built the steering arms on the wrong side of the front axle now. Now the tyre on the inside curl turns less even if it has to turn more. If you keep control arms on that Side you have to Put them open Outwardly, not inward. But if you move the track bar to the back of the front axle, then those steering arms must be inverted inwards.

Amazing content. Keep uploading
Awesome project. You are an electronic genius.
Bruh. Put the guard of the angle grinder back on and wear some safety goggles. You'll have longer careers that way
Hover board ktny ka leya tha market sy?
>> 12:00 >> Super Mahatmario ! Sorry ! I love your work but I couldn't resist and no racist intention , I swear ! ?
10:21 the author of the code is exposed. Not to belittle your work but you guys should have given Credit where Credit is due
Hey diy king can you do a diy 3d printer using old computer parts and audrino thanks from karachi pakistan
