    Adjustable Seat Design

    So I'm building a go kart for my wife (hence the zebra design) so we can both ride together but I'm making her's way better than mine so I want to be able to ride it as well. I'm about 5'9" and she's about 5'2" so I can't really make it comfortable for both of us. So here's my design for an...

    Clutch issue?

    Hey guys, I'm new to this forum as well as new to the go kart world in general. I've always wanted one and I love building things so I decided to build a go kart in order to save some money. I've got the go kart all finished up now (I'm unable to put any pictures up at this time) but now I just...
