Is your $3,000 budget for the motor, the controller, or the battery?
My 1,400 pound "golf cart" based EV uses $900 worth of golf cart batteries to get 48 volts and it uses them to their limits at times.
In my mind, if you have to ask if it's possible to do for that amount, then it's not, care to prove me wrong? I'm trying to build a $1,500 electric motorcycle and am going to cut it close.
I'm not sure why you need 4 wheel drive, I've taken my civic off road, with a trailer and never had an issue, it will go places that my parents Ford Ranger gets stuck.
