I'm throwing this out there because it's been on my mind for a while. Is anyone out there working on, or has anyone already built, a 2-seat electric go-kart meant for off-roading? I've been dreaming about this project for my 12-year-old son, but it keeps getting pushed back into the 'someday' pile. I'd really love to see what you all have created

If you've got any cool builds, unique ideas, or setups, I'm all ears! Let's inspire each other and maybe I can finally get started on mine. And hey, if you have specs, or any tips from your experience, please share, it would mean a lot to me
 
I remember someone also asked about building a two-seater kart but it's not for off-roading, and I'm not sure what's the status of his build.
Anyway, I'm thinking you should prioritize getting a powerful electric motor, like 3000W+, a high-capacity battery like lithium-ion, and a robust controller.
Also consider good ground clearance, durable suspension and aggressive knobby tires!
I think you can get some suspension components from ATVs or dirt bikes.
