Thank you Steve so very much for your thoughtful consideration towards all of us who are following in your footsteps, by creating these videos. You have done so much positive assistance...remember the proverbial saying"A picture is worth 1000 words" well these videos will put many of us behind the wheel of a cycle kart.I salute you, my hat is off ,i am deeply grateful for your kindness towards me and many other beginners. nice build,I love the hydraulic brake, and specially the louvers.also the painted rims and spokes...looks so good

HI and greetings from Kenmare, in the county of Kerry, southern Ireland. I just recently came across your videos and was instantly brought back to my youth, when as kids, myself and my friends would often build and race boxcarts, but without engines or proper steering. Loving your work and I was wondering if you built much in the way of cars with fenders, or "wings" as we call them over here. Less of the race car look I suppose, but either way, you've inspired me. I'm a real DIY nut, fixer, experimenter, maker and mender and am always looking for my next fun project. Thank again and keep up the great work.

Some guys have mounted the axle bearings above the frame. It really depends on your approach and the Inspiration Car. If it was a low slung speedster like the Austin 7 or a tall car like the Model T.

Nice build and very awesome series. I'l be using your videos as a guide in building my first cycle kart. question, how far from the ground is lowest part of your floor?

belo trabalho .................................................................

I have a question about how your front suspension and your tie rods work with each other. Are the heim joints that come off of the knuckle being parallel to the ground the secret to getting it to move smoothly with bumps in the road?

@stevevinson6030

3 жыл бұрын

yes parallel to the ground helps. with the KPI, they may bind a bit at the travel limits if not parallel.

Steve your videos are always very helpful. I do have a question for you… I’m designing my 1st kart now. My inspiration car is the 1936 Auto Union type C, and as such a double leaf spring set-up won’t work. The axle needs to be very far forward, so I’m thinking a quarter elliptical arrangement might be best. I get the concept, but was hoping to might know where I could find a good how to for this specific set up. Kart on… David

That's very good quality workmanship and design. Any interest in selling a rolling frame finished to the point of your 1st test ride. Very interested in getting involved in cyclekart up here in Canada but don't have the expertise to build the frame to the quality you have demonstrated. If so how do I contact you.

Does it drive a solid axle or one wheel only

@stevevinson6030

10 ай бұрын

This one has a differential, so both wheels are powered. the more common set up is a solid axle with one wheel keyed. You can key both wheels, but it makes it a bit of a struggle to steer.

Love it. How can I buy one?

We do have some 'builder guidelines', this usually starts a discussion about what is a cyclekart. In my opinion, if you go with a big motorcycle engine, you are really building a CycleCar. On the surface they look about the same. But hey, this is 'Merica, build what makes you happy.
