Abstract-This study focuses on the design and analysis of a hollow shaft for an EV go-kart, optimizing weight reduction and structural integrity. Using SolidWorks for design and ANSYS for Finite Element Analysis (FEA), the shaft’s performance under mechanical stresses and cyclic loads was evaluated. Results demonstrated significant weight savings while maintaining strength, rigidity, and durability, enhancing the go-kart’s efficiency and reliability. This work highlights the potential of hollow shafts in improving EV performance through lightweight design.
