Analysis of vehicle dynamics parameters for electric go-kart (eKart) design

Today electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular in our lives. In motorsport, however, they are not as widely used. Formula E, which was created to boost electric motorsport, is not enough to popularize it. Every driver wanting to advance to F1 (highest rank racing series) has to start from karting between the ages of 5 and 8. But today go-karts are only powered by combustion engines. In order to provide young drivers with the possibility of racing small electric vehicles, the so called eKarts, combustion engines have to be replaced with electric motors. EKarts should offer similar performance to combustion engine go-karts. Therefore to determine the required power of the electric motors and the capacity of the batteries in eKarts for different age categories, the technical parameters of the different age categories of combustion engine racing go-karts were analyzed in this paper. In this paper it was proved that present Li-Ion battery technology makes it possible to construct eKarts for children’s and junior categories. With the current technology, it is not possible to create an eKart for senior categories (15 and over) in line with the current regulations for go-karts.
