Geez!

I don't know about that but I don't think those motors will pull around too much weight

Good luck if you think you can pull it off

Is this golf cart gonna be used for 3D or IMAC?

I think it will definately work....it's all gonna depend on your gearing. You don't wanna put too much of a load on your motors as they will get rather hot and damage your batteries and/or speed controls. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

ive been working some with golf carts, the ones i worked on had one HUGE 1,2kw geared motor, voltage during full trottle 30-31v, so ofcorse a 15kw A200 can power a golf cart

Hope youre not talking about VW Golf

@CJ
These motors are used on planes that would use a 150cc gas engine, what makes you think 4 of them wouldn't pull a golf cat? I bet four DA 150s would be plenty for a golf cart, one would probably get it going pretty good (golf carts aren't very fast).

@312
That's probably the easiest way, just hook a single Hacker up to the existing differential and add batteries in series until you got the speed you want, then add batteries in parallel until you get the duration. You'll have to think of cooling, and at $1K a pop for the motors (not to mention that much again for each controller), $8K (without any batteries) could buy a really nice golf cart.

If you have the extra cash to put $8000 into a hacker powered golf cart go for it! I want to see this thing!

oh ok, I didn't realize their was motors that big, I guess I probably should've looked it up before I started throwing around comments

Sorry

I would worry about start load on the ESC's. For something this size you can get far better equipped products in the electric car building industry.

Hah! I'd love to see a 60mph golf cart

Well, you could just take the governor off of the golf cart, and get it to go around 50. Not hard to go.
