Hybrid?

Yeah, in my project proposal I had thrown out the idea of making a hybrid go-kart. It seemed like a simple task on paper, but then again the entire project did.

Turning this into a hybrid would mean finding a 24V DC generator (or other and get a converter) and connecting it directly to a small engine of sorts, like a weed whacker or other lawn tool. Right now though my primary concern is getting the motor and batteries I have working, not adding stuff to them. Since I have a feeling this won't be complete until after May 30th, when I am to present this project, I will try to add hybrid functionality over the summer. I'm more concerned right now about building a go-kart that goes than one that is good for the environment.
