Well, just going by the electrical specs: 110A \* 24V = 2640W = 2.64kW = 3.43HP ---

The equivalent HP in a gasoline engine is 8-10 times the electric motor HP. So that is roughly 28-34HP or a little more power than a twin cylinder riding mower engine. Mine is 24HP. For a go cart that would be a good power unit!
