must see... stupid go kart THE BEAST IS ALIVE!!! FINAL UPDATE + PICS + VID

hi
thi is my last creation...

the frame is a shopping cart, the engine a honda gx160 5.5hp with a 12 tooth clutch and linked by a no:35 chain to a 72 tooth sprocket. you can see a tractor exaust with cap a aluminium rear spoiler, mirrors and wings around the rear wheels. the brake is disc type ( it locks the rear wheel when pressed fully) . the spindles are homemade and work great. the rear wheels are bearing wheels that i converted to live axle wheels by welding 2 shaft collar to thems (see picture). you can see in one of the picture my homemade keyways, one for the disc brake and one for the drive sprocket. te front bumper is REALLY solid (i tested it by bumping it into our forklift ;) ) . in two pictures you can see how i linked the throttle cable to the honda engine (i had to tig-weld the little grooved rod to the throttle assy) and it works perfectly ! i think it's top speed is around 40 km/h (scary fast in a shopping cart)

i will try to post a video on youtube soon

enjoy!

LOL I was thinking the same thing! :iagree:

Dude, ever since I saw one of those shopping karts a while ago I have wanted to make one :drool5:. Yours came out looking pretty nice! I envy you and your apparent endless availability of machinery in the background! LOL :thumbsup:

Awww man, I hate it when uninvited items walk into my garage! :ninja:

What is the seat made of? It looks like a piece of cardboard, or foam.

I think someone has already done that. I vaguely remember seeing a vehicle that had a toilet as a seat. I don't remember where I saw it though.

Oh Man!!!! I just did a quick search on google and found this:

Scroll down and you'll see it. They got some other interesting stuff on there.

i hooked a minni bike tripple tree to the back of a shoping cart with 20 in. bike tires & forks welded to the side....it was like pushing a trailor, every time i turned it wanted to jackknife! The next one will have a vertical shaft 12 volt electric start push mower engine with a pully tention clutch to a 3 speed w/ reverse differential axil & its tires(off old rider mower) all UNDER the basket!360 caster dollywheels in front with a single piviting drag wheel w/ seat to pull behind it ...id like to keep my basket so i can use it to pick up cans to pay for gas on my way to & from the beach!
