ABSTRACT

Most of the recreation parks are using 4-wheel petrol (or) diesel powered go-carts which are expensive, heavy in weight and pollutes the environment. As the fossil fuels are depreciating and cost of the fuels is also increasing rapidly in global markets, it is very much essential to develop new go-kart designs with less weight, runs on electric energy (battery) so that it is not dependent on costly imported fuels like petrol / diesel and also consumes less energy.

3 Wheel electric (battery powered) Go Kart is one of the less weight designs that consumes less energy and adds no pollution to the environment. As a part of our project dissertation, we are planning to fabricate chassis for telescopic 3-wheel go-kart.

Telescopic 3-wheel go-kart has fallowing advantages when compared to 4-wheel 2-seater go- karts;

• Less in mass hence gives good energy economy
• No pollution
• Easy to transport as it occupies less space

Project Involves;

• Study of various types of chassis, materials used for chassis, structural elements like pipes, plates and flats, fabrication operations like welding, cutting, drilling, etc.
