batteries and motor selections
in the old day me and a neighbor had made a go-kart using a truck starter and 2 car batteries with a on off knife switch!
all or nothing but was crazy fun and a bit dangerous i no longer recommend such acts
the spoiler named spoiled is now electric the parts were refitted from a electric strand cruiser
the newer lipo systems are very expensive but have a great road life and power output
ni cads are next in line, and then lead acid {car battery}
and the new HUB motors are best in my experience more torque and better efficiency than tire scrubbers or chain drives
but then again expense
we use to have 90 vdc motors that ran off a speed controller these worked well on chain drive scooters and carts but no more!
and would of adapted to bikes just fine!
i like using what ever is around and free
your junk is my dreams
