The average go-kart battery is rated at 12 volts with a typical capacity between 3 to 6 Ah. The amount of batteries required for a go-kart depends on the size of the motor and the weight of the go-kart itself.īatteries on go-karts are most commonly connected in sequence, in order to match the rated voltage of the speed controller and the electric motor. The most common go-kart batteries contain lead-acid and lithium-ion. There are many different types of batteries that can be used on go-karts. BatteriesĮlectric go-karts are equipped with batteries that store energy, in order to power the electric motor. Go-karts don’t have a front axle, as the two front wheels are connected to the frame via spindles to allow for steering. You’ll find that go-karts have a live rear axle, as it transfers rotational power from the engine directly onto the rear wheels through the rear axle. The axle provides rotational motion to the rear wheels from the torque that is generated through the engine. There is a sprocket located towards the center of the axle that is connected to the crankshaft or the jackshaft of a go-kart via a chain. AxlesĪn axle is a shaft on the rear of the go-kart where each end is connected to a wheel via a hub. Air filters are not required for electric go-karts as they run on electric current, as opposed to gasoline. It’s important that the air is clean and doesn’t contain any dust, debris or dirt, as this could potentially damage your engine.Īir filters are most commonly found on racing go-karts, as they’re equipped with a carburetor that mixes air and fuel before it enters the gas engine.
It helps to filter out any foreign particles in the air before it enters into the combustion chamber of the go-kart engine. Part ImageĪn air filter is a device that is attached to the air intake manifold of a go-kart engine or a carburetor. If you require more information about the parts and how they function, you can find a link to more detailed guides and articles embedded in the descriptions below. This list contains the part images, part names and also the descriptions so that you’ll be able to understand all of their functions. It will also cover racing, off-road and homemade go-karts that are either gas-powered or have an electric motor. I’ve created a list of all the essential go-kart parts that you can refer to. From engines to tires, to transmission, axles and plenty more. There are plenty of parts that make up a go-kart.
