Anyways, I ended up with a two, maybe three, person gasoline go kart. Then it evolved into a two person electric go kart. I told myself that I wanted an electric go kart that sat one person. I went through three go kart designs (0.0, 1.0, 2.0) before I ended up where I am at now. How is the motor going to be mounted? Where is the throttle going to be mounted? How Wide and how long? What size sprockets do I need?īack to the main question of this step, What kind of go kart do you want? That question right there was the biggest one for and the hardest for me. Use advance math to help design it (I know what you are thinking, Do I have Too? At least use basic trigonometry.) Here are some important questions to consider. Carefully draw out how the go kart will look.I used conduit on my rig, and I never had a problem with the frame. While 3/4" square tubing will run you $30 for 10 feet. Let me tell you a cheap way to get metal, Conduit!! This stuff is amazing, 3.4" conduit comes in 10 foot section for only $3.50.I like to have a good sturdy roll cage in case a holy mole moment suddenly arises. Personally I would prefer to buy metal over wood.What should it be made out of? Wood or Metal?.Maintenance every 5 to 20 hrs depending on conditions.Good for riding on paths and around the yard īefore choosing your location choose how many people you want riding with you.Limited Offroad (Not for rugged terrain).Good for riding through the woods, snow, mud, etc."Wherever there is a will, there is way." For some, like me, money is a limiting factor that can inhibit our design. There are go karts for every condition you can think of. The possibilities are endless when it boils down to the design of your go kart.
