looking to build a trailer for the gokart or a trunk big enough to hold a backpack

[Idkw much 👍]

hi
i have a gokart that i would (someday) like do a road trip on and i would like to make a trialer or something like it to hold things, or at least a trunk big enough to hold a backpack.
the triler will probably be big enough to carry another person (preferably)

Has anyone build something like it ?


this is the kart

Get a riding lawn mower trailer, then lower the height a bit. You can probably get a used on for pretty cheap. I found a nice craftsman one for 5 bucks at a yard sale once, I should have picked it up

would those be safe to ride on the street though?

No, but neither is your Gokart. So it don’t really matter much!

Why not get one of these and fab a mount for it? Over the engine? Somewhere behind the seat? Use yer imagination.

Just get yourself a mini bike and put saddle bags on it and make it street legal. Problem solved.

i thought of doing that and i actually started to build it but then i realized that that’s gonna get in the way of my ram intake
and it would look silly too

Build it off the back like a hitch mount cargo rack.

Luckily for me I've got a spot right behind my seat above my swing arm where I can put a toolkit/storage box

Don't know what sort of time or effort you what to put into your project, but you asked.
Pulling a cart will be a complete fail, they work great behind a lawn mower but anything more, no mas.
I've pulled one behind my 4 wheeler around home and it was pretty much a clown show.
The smallest rock or bump and they go airborne and try to end up on their side.
Some deluxe suspension will help, but its still a compromise, not to mention the ability of the kart to even pull it off road.

How about building or having a roll cage built?
Incorporate one of those car top torpedo cargo cases to mount on top, or just a simple durable small case.
