DIY Electric Go-Kart: From Junk Hoverboards to Kid's Ride

A father, inspired by childhood dreams, transformed a simple pedal go-kart into a powerful, all-terrain electric vehicle for his three-year-old son. Utilizing discarded hoverboard motors, inexpensive controllers, and an Arduino Nano, he created a vehicle with both remote-controlled and manual driving modes, a speed limiter, and lights. While improvements like remote steering and regenerative braking are planned, this creative and loving DIY project provides a fun and exciting ride for his child.
