    Wow Why didn't I think of this!!!

    One of my friends took the gears out of a bike. When I say gears I mean the whole setup. The type where you can change the gears. It has 8 gears. And he implemented this into his go kart. So now he can change his gears (ratios) while he is driving it. Great Ideal and it works!!
