GN GNAT Cycle Kart Build: New Driveshaft Installed!
Just installed the new driveshaft...watch the video to see if I fixed the vibration!

Your right wheel seems to wobble a bit (the rim) , while the left one seems straight ( just some tire movement). I guess by today, you have already fixed this! :)
I enjoyed the ride in the streets
Wow...are you allowed to drive it on the roads... I love the fact it's rear wheel drive...with the engine in the front... Very interesting...👍👍
Another awesome video _ Sandy
In my opinion a waitbar would be a longer drive shaft and a longer car for comfort
FANTASTIC job! What’a great video too! I cannot wait to start this new hobby!! Thank you kind sir!
Colin I wonder if you have loses do to the drive line angle. Also loses do to the 90 degree gearbox. Those could cause the low speed.

Yes, I'm seeing a fair amount of drive efficiency...but I like my inefficient design!
Can you show how you connected drive shaft to the engine? It will help me a lot on my build
Beautiful. I am building a 1928 Morgan Aero RIP GN Special. I am using an experimental aircraft opposed twin engine mated to an MG Transmission through a cast aluminum two part adapter and instead of a GN live axle I am using an MGB rear differential so It has brakes . I am out in Pennsylvania. Where are you?

Just a couple of observations, I notice your engine is moving around a lot, it looks like its loose in its mounts, is it rubber mounted? kzread.info/dash/bejne/Yq2duNKzg5vSZZM.html It sounded like your engine was running badly, this could be the recording, automatic volume controls sometimes clip the sound, distorting it. I guess you have probably installed a steering wheel quick disconnect by now, it would make it a lot easier to get in or out of your cyclekart.

The engine is mounted tight, but the plate it mounts to has a fair amount of cutouts which is likely allowing the vibration. As for the seating position, it looks cramped, but its actually pretty comfortable. It's also easier to get in and out of than other CK's.
your Driveshaft is assembled wrong (both of them) the u-joint flanges MUST be 90 degrees from each other or you will definitely have vibration problems please go look at any vehicle with rear wheel drive and front engine for proof. please fix this asap as it is not safe the way you have it!!!
