Hi Folks! I'm hoping to get some advice on how to build an electric cart I use for hauling my music gear. The cart is ideal for my setup and I have made several attempts. I have video/pictures. I utilized 2 brand name Electric drills with various level of success. It worked but the motor in the last drill finally gave out. I need to be able to control with a throttle. I don't have a lot of experience with this and came up with the design after watching Youtube videos. I am thinking an electric scooter motor would provide enough torque for me to load in the bed of my pickup. The drill actually did this pretty well but I never got the throttle mechanism to work well. The main problem with the throttle issue is that I can not find adjustable grips. The handles for the cart are slightly larger than standard handle bars and none of the throttle kits had a large enough inside diameter or were adjustable. This is very frustrating. I have looked at kits for sale on Ebay but I don't know how to wire and what is the best choice for my application. Here is a video link.
