Designed so everything will fold up to the front so I can carry my street legal 30 mph Low Speed Vehicle. Which is a hyped up 2000 Electric Club Car DS Golf Cart. Most of the time it goes in the back of my truck unless I’m pulling it with my SUV

Swan, Howdy;

Welcome to the circus!

Think your "Bare bones" approach is great. Honestly. Yours is the Yang to
the CTs like Flboys's Ying. Both being examples of what can be done with
a little or a lot. Your CT is a reminder of how this all got started and a very
good example indeed.
Thanks for the reminder. :applause: , :thumbsup: , :thumbsup:

Nice setup!

What do you use the golf cart for?

Does its battery bank also get used for running House loads, recharged off solar?

Thanks all for your comments , its been a nickel and dime project and has been reformed ,added to and change a lot over the years. the golf cart is street legal now and can be driven on public roads 35 mph and under and with 700 amps of torque it has no problem running though the woods . With 6 - 8 volt Trojan T875 each battery 295 minutes @25 amps with a 48 to 12 volt reducer it could sustain power for a while .
