Reconstructing a elctric go-kart
Completed Research Project
Aim
Design and optimisation of a electric drive for highly dynamic stresses in vehicles
Approach
Development of a drive concept
- Developing a longitudinal dynamics simulation to assess energy requirements
- Selecting a suitable electric machine and gear ratio
- Designing the engine and battery system
Reconstruction of the electric go-kart
- Modification of the original frame structure to optimise weight distribution
- Installation of a hydraulic braking system
- Development and assessment of packaging concepts
- Design and modification of the chassis
Development and testing of various operational and hybrid strategies
- Simulative evaluation of the strategies
- Experimental evaluation and application
