In this video we create a cool VW Minibus Go Kart Shell using low cost EPS foam board and BJB’s laminating epoxy with fiberglass cloth. Starting with a donor go kart frame, we show the materials and techniques used to make the fun-sized VW Electric Microbus replica.

**Power and Frame Details**
The frame is originally from a Honda Minimoto Go-Kart. It was a 500 watt, 36V power unit. The original plastic body parts were all removed and a new seat location for larger riders was constructed. The new motor is 1800 watt brushless using a 32 amp speed control. Battery is 48V, 10 AH capacity e-bike pack. Top speed estimated at 25mph/40kph.
