An electric vehicle built to drink and drive
youtu.be
I turn an ordinary drink cooler into a crazy electric veichle that can transport you AND your drinks while keeping them ice cold!The working speed controller...

so yeah, first time making an electric vehicle. the intent is to reuse the battery and ESC on an ebike.

A lovely person at the event i brought the motorized cooler kart to traded vehicles with me for 10 minutes, and i got to ride his electric mountain bike with a mid mount motor, and it was awesome, so i have the itch for that now.

Anyway, more of a goofy and fun project, I wouldn’t say it was practical, and definitely won’t change the world, but hopefully is brings some entertainment to your lives! :)

    That’s wonderful that children are interested in the project. This and related projects would be great to showcase at Open Sauce. I certainly enjoyed this year’s displays.

      yeah, i went the past 2 years. sadly driving a project down wasn’t in the cards. Both times i brought a body mounted project though. First year it was a 3d printed cat treat dispenser that would track the distance my cat runs on a cat wheel, then gives him a single treat after he runs a certain amount. I had a mini version mounted on my chest. This past year, i brought some arm mounted EDF’s that I plan on using to propel myself on skiis in the snow. I plan on making videos about both eventually, but im trying to space out larger projects like those (and the cooler kart) with smaller ones :)
