My first electric vehicle

Its not much. Might need new batteries. I think it will be a cheap little electric vehicle project. Fix it up a little, up the volts, make it a little faster.
Saved it from the scrap yard, so it was really cheap.
Since I got it from the scrap yard it doesn't have a charger, so for now I pull batteries and charge them with a regular 12v charger.



This is like the ultra small scale test platform. I put no limit on this project, could up the voltage to 36 or 48 volts, change motor controller, swap the motor, relocate the motor, make more room for batteries.
I don't think I will go as far as going beyond lead acid technology.
