Z Kart: San Clemente inventor builds 20 hp electric go kart
San Clemente real estate broker George Fortin crafted the Z-Kart in his Talega garage, finishing in November after a year and four thousand dollars. The 300-pound, zero-emission vehicle uses six lead-acid batteries, runs 20 miles at 40 to 50 mph, recharges in about three hours, and features a recycled polyethylene frame. Fortin, 55, aims to inspire garage innovation, citing viral YouTube interest and potential collaboration with Swift Engineering.
