I've got an old lawnmower frame and am considering "converting" it to a go kart for my kids (oldest is 4 currently).
I don't want it to go much over 10 mph and was thinking of using a weed-eater engine for power.
My question is, how wide should it be to prevent tipping? It's pretty tough to flip by hand as-is and I'll be keeping the seat and engine as close/low to the frame as possible which should help.
Mock-up pic for attention.
