Small electric car for the kids :)

I built a small electric car for my kids. It is powerd by an Sierra wiper motor and an led battery (12 ah). It works surprisingly well.

Great job!

I would suggest some safety guards over that drive belt, knowing what kids are like...

Out of curiosity, how long does the battery last?


Peteff - 31/7/06 at 07:39 PM

What for? with the wiper motor it goes forwards then reverses on the return sweep

Some more pics

I plan to use the front wheel brakes from the bike who donate the rear wheels. It's not a big problem, the car goes fairly slow and there are no hills around here.

I need to construct some kind of safety guard over the chain.

I don't know how long the battery last yet.
