ELECTRIC OLYMPIC FUTURE: THE FIRST RUSSIAN ELECTRIC SPORTS KART

In June 2019, the Association of electric, unmanned and connected transport and infrastructure development (AETI) presented a racing kart with an electric motor unit at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. This kart has become an exhibit at the Innovation Territory exhibition, the platform for dialogue, debate and discussion of trends with leading experts in the field of innovation and digital transformation.

The project availed itself of advanced Russian technologies in the field of electric transport; and the motor unit was tested by the drivers of the Italian racing karting team Baby Race.

The project includes the use of the following in-house components:

• Brushless high power motor

• Active Lithium Cell Balancing System (BSM)

• Supercharger for LTO batteries ultra-fast charging in 6 minutes

• Telemetry and remote data collection system, as well as kart traction control system adapting to a pilot of any level.

But the project doesn’t stop, and with a view to the Karting World Championship, which will be held in September 2019 in Finland, the Electric Olympic Future team is preparing a presentation of a new, modified and advanced model of a sports electrical kart.
