GY6 conversation

[871kevin]

Hello. I’m new to this forum. I’m planning on putting a GY6 motor in my electric EZGO. I’m looking for ideas on how to mount the gy6 shaft to the input shaft of the cart axle? Thanks

You can use sprockets and chain drive it. Depending on the final drive it may need a jackshaft to get the ratios right.

What GY6? 50cc to 250cc, you will not be happy with a small engine,,, but I have an addiction for faster and bigger so build it, I'll watch.

Gy6 in the search box brings up nothing,,then i find this and it's a dead end.
a complete 150cc is so cheap it seems like a good option for a yard cart with not much money spent.
guess i'll keep looking and see what comes up.

Half the displacement of a stocker while doing an engine swap ? WHY ?

[bruce_leroy]

Yup 150cc is too small. I'd say 250cc minimum. I got a 18 hp chinese 250cc ATV/bike engine off ebay for $700 new and put it in my cart. I wouldn't go any smaller than that. Mine will do 30 mph.

I know this is an old thread but I have that setup on my ezgo. Works quite well. Those little gy6 motors have a cvt. You basically cut the back half of the cvt case of and weld on a plate. Then mount it to the differential.

I've hit 40mph in this thing. Acceleration could be better, but it'll climba hill with 4 people on it. I'm currently working on upgrading this cart. Build up the motor a bit, already ordered a All-Sports long travel kit and I'm waiting on that to show up. Gonna do a storm body down the line as well
