Well, for the past couple of days me, Franko, Conor, Chris (and some others) have been planning to make a go-kartish thing in Electricity and Electronics club (it would be electric) and had plans for most of the parts. I had 2 spare car batteries, we had 2 bikes we could scrap for wheels and other parts and we were all set. So Friday we asked Mr. Moore if he thought it was a good idea. We were more than a little dissapointed when he said it was illegal in Illinois.

That really stinks. I liked hearing your story about your dad's two spare car batteries in the garage.

That stinks but I guess it would be illegal because the "vehicle" wouldn't be registered and it wouldn't have a license plate. When you think about it, even bikes have to be registered so they probably wouldn't let you have a go-kart that you built that wasn't registered. Also it might explode or something and the state of Illinois wouldn't want home-made go-karts exploding on people would they. What you could do is turn the wheels on a skate-board so that it rolls side to side, and then make some sort of back and footrest and steering and make it like an electric skateboard seat or something, if that makes any sense at all (which it probably doesn't...)

A go-kart would've been so cool! Unfortunately I know nothing about electricity or electronics, but I think the skateboard thing is still pretty cool!

I have no idea what you should do but why in the world do you have car batteries just laying around?
