Weight could probably be keep under 500lbs including the driver. Is that a decent weight, or should the weight be lowered even further?

But we also want it to run on roads, so something like a rally car haha

Thanks for the welcome! Our budget is small, possibly less than 1.5k. There are some groomed dirt roads near the college, so I'd like for the kart to run on that, but I don't want a buggy-type cart. We're planning on a shifter cart, and I think we can get someone to weld for us. A friend of mine...

How fast can we go with a 250cc?

We don't have a plan yet? Can you help us decide? I saw a predator 420cc engine at Harbor Freight. It's cheap and I'd like to use as that to power the kart.

Hi guys! So excited I joined this forum! I'm going to be a freshman at EMBRY-RIDDLE Aeronautical University this fall. I've been a major car nut since I was a young child. I have already started a car club and we want our first project to be a motorcycle powered go-kart! Any suggestions?
