Abstract
Conventional single-motor go-karts can lose traction or struggle for torque on rough or uneven surfaces. A dual-motor layout places drive power on both sides (or both axles), improving pull, hill capability and directional control through independent or coordinated motor commands.
This project develops a Dual Motor Electric Go Kart for Rough Terrain using two DC traction motors, motor controllers, a rigid fabricated chassis, battery pack, steering and braking. Key subsystems include frame design for off-road loads, dual-motor mounting and power electronics. The unit demonstrates electric vehicle propulsion, multi-motor drive and rough-terrain vehicle dynamics suitable for academic evaluation.
It is an excellent final-year project for Mechanical, Automobile, Mechatronics and Electrical Engineering students, combining fabrication, vehicle dynamics and electric drive systems.
