This paper presents the fabrication of an electric-powered go-kart designed to achieve an optimal balance between lightweight construction, durability, safety, and high performance. Engineered specifically for racing on flat circuits, the go-kart features a streamlined design that includes four wheels, a seat, a steering mechanism, and a braking system, intentionally excluding suspension and differential components to minimize weight and mechanical complexity. Powered by a lead-acid battery, the vehicle offers an eco-friendly alternative to conventional fuel-driven models. The design focuses on four primary attributes: durability, safety, minimal weight, and enhanced performance. The chassis is constructed using mild steel pipes, chosen for their strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring a rigid and secure frame. Special attention has been given to material selection and structural design to ensure mechanical integrity and stability under race conditions. The result is a dependable, efficient, and race-ready electric go-kart, well-suited for high-speed performance on smooth tracks.
