Final Project - Electric Karting Car

Final Project Proposal: The Electric Kart Project Concept: My project is to design and build an Electric Karting Car. This vehicle serves as a testbed for integrating digital fabrication techniques—such as CNC frame milling, 3D printed aerodynamic parts, and custom-designed electronics—into a functional, sustainable mobility platform.

This initial sketch represents my vision for a lightweight Electric Karting Car designed for performance and modularity. The drawing outlines a compact chassis layout that integrates a powerful electric drivetrain with custom-fabricated structural components.
Key Features of the Design:

  • Aerodynamic Chassis: A low-profile frame optimized for weight and stability.
  • Electric Powertrain: Centrally mounted motor and battery packs for balanced weight distribution.
  • Integrated Controls: A front-mounted digital dashboard and ergonomic steering assembly.
  • Fabrication Goals: The project will utilize 2D laser cutting for electronics housing, 3D printing for ergonomic interfaces, and welding for the primary frame.
