quite a while since last update, now im dealing with all sorts of minor adjustments, and ive got the fotpegs done, brakes are almost the only thing left, and seat of course. considering making a better exhaust, because the oil that does go right trough the engine is ending up greasing the...

thanks man! thats exactly what had in mind while building! although i´ts not suited for the sandy beach, i figure this vehicle would be ideal on car cruising!.. pop the trunk, take out the beer case racer, start it up and drive of... while drinking beer!

thanks dude! as soon as i finish my motorcycleproject i´ll get on with the seat, and it´ll be one thick wooden plate covering the whole box, then i´ll fabricate a seat, covering half the wooden plate, youll see, soon enough :thumbsup:

progress is going kinda slow at the moment, cause of my other motorcycleproject, but it works great and handles well things to do: * steering wheel adjustment * breaks * cleaning the carb * fabricate a seat * fotpegs

looks like a really nice and fun project! there are many similar karts with big bikeengines and i just love the amount of torqe combined with a light-weight racingchassi such as gocarts perhaps this vid will enspire you! **** im proud to be a swede, such as the fellows in the vid...

I should have thought about camber when i first started this project, the steering setup i´m currently using is the easiest one to build. but i have kind of solved the little steering issue, i figured i could just lean when turning at slow speeds, (no worries when going fast)... and it does go...

Well you seam to have built some cool stuff in your days!! :thumbsup: I seam to have problems turning at slow speeds, not that i didn´t predict that with my setup of 2wheeldrive and short wheelbase! but one question, does your beer case racer have 2wheeldrive, or a differential, or 1wheeldrive??

actually the padels are very comfy when holding your fingers under them (you don´t feel the sprockt teeths) it sertainly does not have a transmission, just gas and brake, Well... after the project is almost done, I´m concidering putting brakes on it, haven´t really given so much thought to it...

Good point, i´ll definetly need something to sit on!! :D I have reinforced the steering also! steeringwheel and paddels:

i let the pictures speak for themselves !

observant! yes I´ve seen this vid, and i gained some ideas for my build, especially the stering concept in the vid he mention that it´s capable of doing 40 km/h (25 mph) couse my brief knowledge from the german language tells me that the german says: fiersich stundenkilometer but from the...

very nice project! i haven´t seen this type of frame combined with racing slicks before, but that´s what makes this build interesting. good work !!

I´m staying positive!! although the limited "workspace" inside the litle case is a pain in the ***!!! I have to tripple-check everything before doing anything!

jupp, those are nice, but a gas powered beer case is way more awesome than an electric-powered cooler, especially at car shows. lets just say a cruisin cooler would turn more heads at car shows if they were gas-powered, and doing wheelies :thumbsup:

but how about a nice cold beer after work!! its not the beer case racer who´s dangerous, its the amount of speed while driving that makes it dangerous, and probably unsafe!!

forgot to mention i started this project 3 weeks ago... and the guy in the vid has an sachs engine (probably 50 cc) for my build Im thinking: as durable as possible! :thumbsup:

So I saw this crazy movie on youtube! And I just thought… I want one!...so ive decided to build one, and this Is my project log on building it! Crazy germans with all their ideas, makes me wonder who´s the idiot, the man who came up with the idea of a motorized beer case, or the man riding it...

i felt like it is ime for an update, so here is some pics when it´s out of the garage and 100% finished! The reverse isn´t the best when it comes to power, but it works perfectly on flat surfaces, or when backing out the garage! approximately speed backwards: 12 - 15 kmh and i added a...

about the cost. i had to buy: steering wheel, padals, front shocks, shifterknob, wires, sprockets, a few bolts, swithes, tierods. and i bouht the homemade gokart as you see in the first post to get seat, rear axle, tires, shocks and bearings and breaking system. the homemade bought kart costed...

Painted and nearly finished! * added taillight * wooden florboard * Fixed the speed measuring system... (last pics in this post) some electronics and wiring left to do then I´ll have think of another projekt after the kart is finished... i was thinking small, 50cc, powerfull, gokart...
