  • dont use that stupid stering wheel just use an normal sterring wheel

  • It came with a "normal" steering wheel, but it was at a bad angle for adult use and we both kept hitting it with our knees when pedaling. The options were to move the steering column up, or reduce the width of the wheel. Moving the column was more work than just changing out the wheel, So the hack was to go all the way to a tiller stick. This allowed good knee placement and made pedaling much easier. (very helpful after the motor burnt out)

  • The motor came from Mendelsons Surplus in Dayton OH. it was not very good and burned up after a high speed run on the playa at burningman 08.

  • nice build!  Didn't quite make out the source of your pedal kart; where did you buy that from? Thanks.

  • The frame came from Tractor Supply. It's in their catalog. It a poorly made China thing, but very hackable.
