Gee, The majority will not buy this for that kind of price. Low tier, clunky and unsafe, takes hours to build, and not appealing to petrol-heads, although I do somewhat like it. I have a good go kart frame for 100 $, and I could slap a engine that would go faster than that, with pretty much everything being better about it especially that price. I mean I have found professional racing go karts for a less price.

The last guy who built a "successful" kart from wood, said a driving error caused him to damage his vehicle severely, and almost killing him in the process.
In the end he said it wasn't really a totally good idea, but it was what he had to work with.
The gent was from Peru.

So in the end, wood isn't a good choice.
