Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around selecting a suitable motor for a simple electric car designed to carry around five people. Participants explore various motor types, power requirements, and control mechanisms, focusing on affordability and practicality.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests using a golf cart motor, which typically has about 1.5hp and operates at 36 volts DC.
  • Another participant requests a picture and pricing for a golf cart motor, while also inquiring about using a 12V car battery and potential rechargeable battery options.
  • A participant mentions the need for a device that allows for proportional speed control, where the speed increases with more pressure on the control and decreases when pressure is released.
  • Links to resources on electric vehicles and historical examples of electric cars are provided, along with a suggestion that a variable resistor can control a DC motor.
  • One participant notes that there are various motor types (DC, AC, brushless) and emphasizes that the choice depends on factors like car weight, terrain, desired speed, power, efficiency, and cost.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing opinions on the best motor type and control mechanisms, indicating that multiple competing views remain without a consensus on the most suitable solution.

Contextual Notes

Participants highlight the importance of considering various factors such as weight, terrain, and budget when selecting a motor, but specific assumptions and dependencies on definitions are not fully resolved.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in electric vehicle design, hobbyists exploring DIY electric car projects, and those seeking affordable motor options for small vehicles may find this discussion relevant.

Hi all

we have a simple car which carry around 5 person ..

for that car we want use battery or electricity connected to motor to drive the car

Can please tell me which motor I can use here that able to move 5 person and It should cheap

because I don't have money hhhhh ? ...

can please give me picture for a golf cart motor

and how much will be ?

and now problem to use electricity form the battery of car witch is 12 V ?

or if there any battery can used and able to recharge

and my last questions

for

which device I can use for increasing the speed and slow down

I mean I want device that when I push it the speed increase and when increase more the pushing the speed is also increase and when I remove me foot the car will slow down

so I want device which make the speed proportional to the pushing
which is connected to the motor

A variable resistor in the field wire will control a DC motor.

There are many different types of motors that can be used for a car, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Some common options include DC motors, AC motors, and brushless motors. The suitable motor for your car will depend on various factors such as the weight of the car, the terrain it will be driven on, and the desired speed and power. It is also important to consider the efficiency and cost of the motor. I would recommend researching different motor options and consulting with a professional to determine the best choice for your specific needs and budget.
