Our verdict

A pair of go-kart live axle hubs that step a one inch axle down to a smaller keyed shaft, with lug hardware. It is a kart part, so check the pitch circle against your wheels.

Overview

Not a complete axle or a wheel, the E41-8591 is the hub that joins a live axle to a small wheel through a keyed shaft. The step-down bore lets it sit on a larger axle, and the lug set mounts the wheel to the hub.

The pair arrives with the lug set and the keyway for a wheel of the stated size, which suits a kart rebuild or a small cart project. The title also lists quads, golf carts and trikes, yet the specs name go karts only, so fit outside karts is unconfirmed.

Who it's for

Go-kart owners rebuilding a live axle with small eight inch wheels. Anyone working on a quad, trike or cart should verify the axle, pitch circle and shaft size before buying, because the listing is clear only about karts.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Pair of hubs in one pack
  • Lug set included in the kit
  • Keyed shaft for a positive wheel drive
  • Alloy steel construction
Cons
  • Fit beyond go karts unconfirmed
  • Bore and shaft tolerances not given
  • Milled finish may need protection
  • Wheel bolt size not listed

Performance notes

A keyway locks the hub to the axle so power reaches the wheel without slipping, and the lug pattern must match the wheel's pitch circle or the wheel will not seat. The step-down bore means the axle diameter and shaft sizes need to match what you have.

Frequently asked questions

What is in the box with the AlveyTech E41-8591?

Two hubs, per the count of two in the specs, and an x4 lug set kit per the title. The shaft key and wheel are not described as separate items.

Is the E41-8591 hub for a golf cart or ATV?

The title mentions quads, golf carts and trikes, but the compatibility spec says go kart. Confirm with the seller for anything else.

Will an eight inch wheel fit these hubs?

The listing gives the wheel size as 8 inches with a pitch circle of 12.5 centimeters, so wheels need to match that bolt pattern.
