Where was KZread when I was a kid? O wait the internet didn't even exist! This brings back so many memories of trial and error. That is when I found out what a horizontal shaft motor was. Most people have no clue what an engineering feat it was for a 12 year old and his friend to figure out the engine set up with a mower vertical shaft engine! I hope many kids watch this and get the building itch! Thanks again guys!

My father made a wooden go kart and he didnt have no engine for it or peddles, And the thing had rope steering. He and his friends called the go kart a “gig”.

For anyone wondering, this would cost around $500 to make. Not a bad price for a go kart, considering that this is a pretty good design.

A tip to anyone doing this if you have bike parts laying around you can use the handlebars to turn by drilling through the wood the size of the wheel mounts and you put them through and tighten bolts on the bottom to keep them from coming out then you can drill holes in the tubing for more bolts to keep it from scraping the ground.

Thanks! This is awesome! I’m a mom to an 11 year old boy who has wanted to build a go kart for years! We have no fancy tools so this is a great place to start!

Yeah baby!! We grew up with something like that!! Except we used a car steering wheel from the junkyard, added a spring and rope and BAM instant steering!! So much fun!! Thanx guys!! You’re too cool!!

Another great build guys. Awards for creativity and functionality and having the balls to test out your creations. And pressing the boundaries of what can be done with a little imagination. Thank you.

I haven't gone through all comments but... All hand saws have a 90° & 46° set square built into handle. I will let you figure it out lol. I love it as thats where i started when i was 10 yrs old.

Many kids these days, stuck in their rooms blasting aliens and the like. Does absolutely nothing for their development. In the 60,s in Ireland we built these, but without the motors (obviously) and we called them "Guiders". We had ball bearings at the back. Some noise. So she sat higher at the front because we used old pram wheels. Mean looking things , but the fun of the build and getting the parts on no money at all, really tested your ingenuity. Oh and by the way, when you spun her, the ball bearing "wheels" at the back threw out some sparks I can tell you. What joy! Well done boys. That,s a great build.

So i been thinking lately on making something out of wood for my gf to go out for long outdoor walks, (shes in a wheelchair) and honestly this would work even if you made it 2 seat until i get parts for proper steering i think she’d enjoy the outdoors again. So glad i found this

If you make a metal engine plate with elongated holes, bolt the engine mount plate to the wood and drill out the wood below the elongated holes that should keep your engine in place. To make it even better use two mounting plates one on top and one under the wood this would ensure that your engine stays put.

Congrats on 100k , you deserved it and climbed the ladder , I wish you many more

Good job guys! I'm gonna use your plans with my son. Thanks for sharing

Great work, guys! Very much appreciated. I actually made one with my son with a busted pressure washer... we had great fun. BUT on first try, i flipped the go kart! just some road burns. Good thing i did not let my kid go first. Too much steering, too much power, and a bad driver. So, if you are doing this with kids, i highly recommend spending the extra $120 for a proper steering system. We will be upgrading next week.

I used a level on my karts. I put the level long ways from the left side of my clutch to the left side of the sprocket then just like up the dot on the level and it’s straight. Mostly use this technique on my American Express and my PRC Banshee

First off, congrats on 100k! 🔥 The feet steering is weird but i guess it works, or as long as you dont run into something. And most importantly if you do happen to run into something you may get impaled by the handle bar boards. That wouldn't be pretty.

I did a similar project when I made my push mower into a go kart but for the steering I put the board on the top so the frame is hanging from it and it makes the whole cart a little bit lower and it looks a little bit better

Sick intro😃

Always wanted a go cart and then one day my uncle came by wanting to store a VW dune buggy which was everything but the bug shaped metal casing and windows. It was the ultimate field car without seat belts and danderous as hell being without roll bars...

Vedy vedy nice

I’d definitely reinforce the front end with some kind of arch. Knowing how I like to thrash what I build, I could see that splitting like a toothpick if you come down on it wrong!

Great project for an 8 year old to enjoy with his Dad & Grandpa.

I love the fact that you guys are using your hands and developing problem solving skills. This sort of thing will set you apart from your peers in so many aspect of your future lives. Just one suggestion .. use two boards underneath since that wood is not very good quality. At least check and see is the grain in vertical; think diving board. You don’t want it to snap in half when you’re driving.

2 words for ya, rope steering. Mount a steering wheel on your handle bar mount with a rod going down. On the bottom of your steering rod mount a pulley with a groove at least wide enough to accommodate 3 coils of rope (more = more friction and less chance of slipping but 3 is typically enough for a slow cart). The larger the pulley the more responsive the steering will be, smaller gives finer control but you will need more revolutions of the wheel to reach full lock. Next, fix the end of a rope to the top of your steering board, as close to the wheel as you can making sure the rope mounting point is on a level with where the top coil of rope will be on the pulley. Wrap the rope 3 times around your pulley keeping the rope tension tight and attach the other end to the bottom of the opposite side of your steering board. Fix the rope coming off the bottom of the pulley to the underside of the steering board on the other side, that will keep the geometry better aligned. You can also install guides to help keep the rope from popping off the pulley if you didn't measure things up right. If done right you will have a cheap and dirty steering system that should give you full lock both ways.

Amazing

Well done

Cool

My spy at Recaro called, he swore me to secrecy but they are looking at producing a seat just like yours as an aftermarket upgrade for high end sports cars....don't tell anyone, its a secret! 😉 I might have missed it, but I didn't see a kill switch, even with a basic design a kill switch is an important safety feature in case of a stuck throttle. If the throttle gets stuck and you don't have a means to kill the engine it could result in an injury. This is such a fun starter project we shouldn't forget this important safety feature, and as my shop teacher used to yell at us, wear your eye protection you only have one set of eyes!
