race go-kart conversion to electric

Conversion of an race go-kart with combustion engine, to a race go-kart powered by an electric brushless dc motor 48Volt 10KW.since this hpm-10kw brushless dc motor, provided by devimotion, is capable of more than 4000 rpm, it should be possible to achieve more than 100 km/h with a 1:2 gear ratio.

accelaration has yet to be determined, but depends probably on the maximum current off the battery,s that will be used.

i purchased 800 usb powerpacks wich each contain 1(one) 18650 li-ion battery.
now i am stripping and testing these so i can sort out how many i can use.
Aim is to build a 48volt 4 or 5 kwh battery-pack with bms.
any suggestions?

...but i'm living in germany and it is not possible to drive a go kart on german streets.

I think a old 'Quad' is a better vehicle, because you can buy 'Quads' for german streets.

trying to get hold of a decent battery seems to be a problem. it should be light and capable of delivering 100 amps at 48 volts. i am thinking lithiu-ion or lipo,s, but this is rather expensive. Idea,s and suggestions anyone?
