The Tectron E4 is a custom built electric kart inspired by mountain bikes by Carlos Diaz from Santiago in Spain. There is a front braking system incase hard breaking is needed. There is also a suspension system at the rear and front of the kart. The current prototype has a range of 20 and 23 km in a straight line at around 18 km/h. Giving the limitations to the current components, Diaz is hoping to lighten the weight of the kart to increase its range and speed. The kart utilises a motor and transmission from a wheelchair which is mounted onto a welded steel frame. There are two 20 inch BMX wheels at the rear and 16 inch wheels at the front. He is hoping to raise enough funds to make the desired changes and improvements to the kart. These include lightening the frame by using aluminium and other commodities such as a built-in GPS system and also solar panels for charging the battery on the go.
