This is an experimental pedal go kart that is going through development stages. The brakes and steering need to be added. Additional experiments are being conducted on the drive system to make it more user friendly.

  • cant u put a weedwacker no it

  • A weed wacker would be tame on this go kart. But yes a weed wacker or a chain saw engine would help.

  • The steering will use a cable wrapped around a steering tube.

  • how are you going to get the steering to work?

  • sorry about the second post but how did you attatch th rear wheels? did you weld them?

  • The wheels are centered by bolts and bushings. I developed the bushings to fit inside of the wheel. I used standard components found at the hardware store.

  • The steering system will be identical to that used on the gas powered wood go kart that we have.

  • dzięki kurwa :P

  • I bet that white tire feels like one bad ass tire because he is the only white. Lol

  • whoa dude that is kinda...what is the word I'm looking for in Japanese? oh I know!; 叙事詩!

  • BTW sick special affects. And thats a great way to pick up chicks, on a wooden slow cart that trolls along at a steady 2iles an hour.

  • Why is there one white tire and an old pervert trolling around on a wooden melester-mobeal.

  • one word "MOTOR"

  • If you took the steering rope like it is and put it thru a hole in a tube and spun that it might make a steering wheel, maybe use steel cable instead of rope, or nylon rope from a hardware store. Also thin metal is almost identical to thick wood, can be sawed and nailed, also welded, sheet metal can be expensive though nice vehicle. Maybe put some foam on the seat or glue fabric or nail fabric or else

  • Look out for the Kitty!

  • i want one!!!!!!!!!!! jelousy! haa cool!

  • Looks like youve got really short cranks.  140mm maybe. would be better if you go for 165mm or 170. give better leverage on the pedals. looks like theres enough clearance from the front axle
