Building a CycleKart

-
I told member CG I would post a few pictures of the CycleKart that I am building. He has one of them that he has had for a few years and here is a video of his Granddaughter driving it. After I saw his I just had to build one.

I don't have many pictures of the actual build but here are a few of it in different stages.

The frame is built out of 1/16" wall 1"x 3" rectangular tubing, and the front axle is 1 1/2" Dia. 1/8" wall tubing. All the rest of the parts are pretty much go kart parts except the 17" Honda motorcycle wheels.

The picture of me sitting in it was before I did any painting on it and the last picture of the daughter driving it is how it sits as of now. (I couldn't get her out of it) The picture with the rear engine cowling on it is just for mock up. I am going to try and make it out of aluminum. Hopefully I will be able to finish it this Spring. They actually race these things in Arizona and Washington State. If you type the word "CycleKart" into the YouTube search box you will find all kinds of info on them.
