Although I can't vouch for the results first hand, I've seriously considered the parts from a Razor MX-650 dirtbike for an electric project. The price for the electric components would run somewhere in that general area I think. Here are references for some pieces that you can buy direct at...

Using a multi-speed system would be interesting as well here. I could envision a single live rear axle, with a sprocket mounted in the center. Would take much more than what I've got into my current setup, but something to consider for a future project. I'll share any improvements I come up...

I'm curious if anyone has done much in the way of pedal karts? Not say a simple back-and-forth pedal, but something akin to using a bicycle crank? First thing to my mind would be to use a motor, as most of the list is doing... but for this first pass kart I'm making it pedal and am wondering...

I wouldn't be against not using spoked wheels, but really need something that in the 16" range. The taller they are of course introduces issues with force on turns, etc. Even a solid wheel in that range would be good...something akin to old soap box racing wheels.

I've recently made some progress on the steel body work and fake exhaust on my bugatti kart. Not museum quality, but I'm still please with the progress... besides the boys and I are having a blast building it! In the next few days I should be able to get the tail section steel in place...

I'm curious if anyone has had any success with using spoked wheels? I'm building a kart using 16" bicycle wheels, but I'm curious if anyone has any experience using wheels from say a scooter or similar? I could go hog wild and use motorcycle wheels (such as Cycle Karts but I'm trying to keep...

Hi All... I'm located near Sacramento. I'm building a Bugatti inspired kart for my three small boys. You can check out more on the work at TheGoKart.Wordpress.com. I started off intending it to be pedal, investigated electric, only to come back to pedal power for simplicity... but would love...
