I'm thinking about building a go-cart with/for the kids. Thinking about an electric cart... but not opposed to a gas (lawnmower) powered cart.
Has anyone here built one from scratch? |

We had one growing up with a very simple welded tube frame. In this sort of "I" configuration (no pics):
-------- |ffff| |ffff| -------- f = floors (EDIT: diagram not coming out so well!) Single Seated, sheet metal floor riveted to the tubes, steering assembly built from lawn mower/hardware store parts and a a braking mechanism that fit over the centrifugal clutch. Put a 4.5 HP motor on that thing are terrorized the neighborhood for many years...good times. |
