Hello Zach I am new to Cyclekart culture and I’m building my first machine this summer. I like what you said about not taking the craftsmanship park too far. My dad was a builder of antique automobiles. That won many awards, and I know how the hours can get eaten up trying to make everything just perfect. better I think just to enjoy the process without getting too anal about it.

Some people have the time and the skill to execute at a very high level, some people get frustrated trying to make it perfect and give up. I say error on the side of fun cause these babies are meant to be driven more then anything else.
@dandeangeli986029 күн бұрын
Hello Zach. Thank you for your thoughtful reply. Since my dad passed, I have discovered a strange movement in the world of antique cars. Everyone from my neighbor to Jerry Seinfeld keeps antique cars in their original shape, or just barely mechanically functioning with a view towards use rather than show perfection I think that’s a good trend. All the best with you and your projects. Thank you again Dan.

@questofknowledge87882 ай бұрын
Never built any of these, but I always thought that the actual gn chain drive but with maybe only 2 gears instead of 4 would increase speed alot on a cyclecar and you don't requite a clutch. The only problem is how small and light cyclecars are for 2 chains and a separate transfer axel and everything else. One day when I have the time and space I want to attempt it.

Watched your video, good job on the run. I imagine there will be a separate category for electric cars cause it’s not really in the spirit of the the traditional cycle kart. The idea is to have a real pre-war inspiration car that your kart is modeled after and a 6.5hp engine.

Just discovered this channel and I like your choices for parts on the clone engine, having built a few for mini-bikes. Mid-range cam and 22-pound springs will help the engine live and still make adequate power to push that cycle car to 60mph easily unless it weighs 400-500 pounds. Good luck 😊
@TheJunkHunter3 ай бұрын
It don’t seem like Mitch but with the tall wheels that we run these cycle karts you run out of power quickly and getting past 55mph takes a lot more power and that’s asking a lot from thes little engines😅
@ZozoHorrorshow3 ай бұрын
You run it out quick because it eats any real torque you can make, but if you got the space that's how you get the speed, it just takes some time. Perhaps play around with gear ratios too, not just power output? The speeds we normally see out karts is rarely top for the engine, it's more the efficient peak speeds for the engine and gearing. A Bugatti Veyron is slower than a Mclaren F1 in a short distance despite the ~1000hp difference, but gets reeled in on the big end.
