Its a dd_motors_170-502-0001 with regen rated at either 36V or 48V |
Sounds like a cool project. Most electric golf carts weigh in the 550-800 pound range, so you might be able to get away with it--as long as you're cool with the 50 mph top speed of the stock Isetta. I assume you got the controller as well?
Looking forward to a build log. Mods, can this be moved to its own thread?
