NO. Alternating current motors are terrible for go karts because the inverter required to power the motor under load is WAY more expensive than a more powerful Direct current motor. For example, 250watt A/C motor may only take 250watts to run, but under load it may require as much as 1000 watts or more to get you up to speed.
