Iran produces electric go-karts
Iranian researchers have, for the first time, manufactured electric go-karts equipped with a solar panel for recharging.
Shamsoddin Sarani, the project manager, said his team at Islamic Azad University of Sistan-baluchestan Branch have managed to domestically manufacture electric go-karts that use solar panel for recharging, according to Mehr News Agency.
Sarani said, “The electric go-kart has a DC motor and can be recharged from urban power grid as well as solar panels. Therefore it is considered a hybrid.”
The go-kart can store three hours of electricity while moving and 168 hours while on standby.
Sarani pointed out that the drive system is (1-100) km/h.
He added, “The solar panel used in the go-kart is capable of increasing the volume of electricity by (10-15) percent.”
The advantages of the electric go-kart include low maintenance costs, better acceleration, no pollution and safer in an accident.
