Electric Kart

Overview

Designed and built an electric kart, covering the drivetrain, power electronics, wiring, and testing.

Team project focused on sizing the motor, inverter, and battery system, validating performance through simulations and test runs, and documenting the full build process.

What I learned

• • Powertrain sizing and integration (motor, inverter, transmission)
• • Battery selection and state-of-charge measurement (LEM HTFS 400-P)
• • Wiring diagrams, harness routing, and cable list planning
• • Performance simulation for speed, acceleration, and energy use
• • Testing methodology including bench and outdoor runs
• • Team coordination, documentation, and safety checks
