Can you do a build thread here? I would like to see you assemble this cart in a step by step instructional posting. You will also get more than one post under your belt. Soooooo, it's a NO-WELD cart right? That seat!!!!!! IF you put a POLY HIGH BACK seat on that, that would look 100% more appealing and should cost around $50 or less (PLUS cost of seat cover)!!

Cool thanks for the post. It's always interesting to see different ideas. Ignore Cobras rant.

Cool looking kart... 220lb though that seems fairly heavy for a kart that size idk...

Well it's bound to be heavy being a bolt together frame... All those bolts and brackets and gussets add up fast. Plus that car seat can't be light.

Maybe It's a giant mechanix set

I have to agree with Scott;
very bad first post.. so I removed the link entirely (it's his name dot com if you are curious)
and instead added those images here for you to discuss.

And I know we should all be nice and gentle.. but this time..
I don't think it's exactly a good idea to just be kind or use sarcasm for that matter.

So I won't:

I hate every little aspect of that contraption apart from the sprocket holder for the spares.

It's clearly made by someone who has not the slightest clue about engineering;
which is perfectly okay for "I made my own kart"
it's a certainly NOT OKAY for "I'll sell this crap"

it's certainly made by someone who has not ridden a kart or shifter kart for that matter ever before, or a car or any other engine powered vehicle.
That pedal setup will SURELY cause serious trouble for all that have a drivers license and/or are used to driving go karts.

it's also certainly made by someone who wishes to get a bunch of strongly worded letters from a well known popular kart company in the near future about his domain/company name.

And before I list all of the issues with this.. I just call it by what it is:
A nice first try for a 14yo that got hold of sketchup
(I know it's not sketchup.. but if solidworks sees you using a illegal copy of their software for "commercial" products you are in terrible trouble! SO I rather not point that out)
there is a few hundred hours of learning and reading ahead of you if you want to make something that is decent and maybe worth selling.
This is not only stupid to sell it's down right dangerous!
If you don't know why you have just proven my first point (no clue about engineering)

Phonykart....

I agree with MTNSleder and itsid....That was my first thought. No offense,but, I think it's made for overly large people who have extra size in the mid section. I think that if it wasn't presented with the 'fat seat'.... And that head rest don't do it any justice.... It wouldn't look half as bad but................. BTW, What country are you in? Your profile is so private my computer laughs when I do a search............. You must be able to take future customer criticism in order to improve on your product. That's what makes us better in what we do. Remember>> EYE CANDY...like this .....

He's Sids neighbour! Czech Republic.

He's Sids neighbour! Czech Republic.

OMG, that explains the seat ................ We need to introduce them to China that makes cool seats like this for us................. Even school desk seats come in different shades.... And seats your pets would like....Hey look, a puppy!!!! PLEASE, anything but that bus seat.... And Ace Hardware, Home Depot, or Lowes is getting rich I see..No wonder there's a drill bit and bolt and nut shortage...WELL, we can't say they aren't into comfort....

 

[itsid]

what? we have decent kart seats in europe..
90% of all race karts are made in europe if not more.

Yep this is definitely a mechanix set

I can build a motorbike a house and a car all with the Konykart mechanix set...

Why are there 4 different pedals ? I don't understand why theirs 4 pedals.. Shouldn't there be one for gas and one for brake? What's up with the 2 extra pedals?

Cause it's for an octopus??

That because the secondary pedal is a back-up pedal.... It works like this, you mount all four pedals by two on each side of the cart back to back, then you set your quad linkages in line and you pressure sensitive limiters and when you push on the primary pedal, it activates the secondary pedal making it look.............. Oh gee never mind.........

Phonykart....

NO! Look at the spelling... KORNYKART.....Get it right please....

You just jealous..

Well, this is a pretty common Technic in those countries.... Once it is assemble by 1000 bolts, washers, and nuts, you set it out in the rain for exactly 120 hours and everything welds it's self together....... And remember, WE appreciate the THANKS we get for participating..... Do you appreciate yours? If not..................

I'll never forget my first Go kart build and quad runner build.. May be from the same company here.. hmmmmm

 

[MTNSleder]
