My new "Scorpion" kart

[stratguy44]

I just finished the major build of my "Scorpion" 3 wheeled reverse trike go kart. I got the plans online and changed them up abit to suit what I wanted. Now I need to hook up all the wiring and switches for the small headlights and the tail lights and the electric starter that will go with the Kohler Comand 7 hp I am installing. The engine shown is just a mock up for the electric start engine. I will sell the Kohler 6.5 Courage that is in the photo along with a Robin 6 hp I also have.

That is a cool trike. Have you got some build pics for us to see?

build photos

I have just these few with me and more at home on computer. There were so many change ups along the way that there are many photo's in different stages

Thank you. This next weekend the grand kids will give it a try. This is kart #2. I have one more kart to build for the third grand child. So no one has to take turns.

I love it! I was thinking of building the Tarantula (eventually) and was toying with the idea of adding front suspension, so it's cool to see that.

What are you planning on building next?

Nice Job that's probably one of the nicest built karts i've seen!

Thanks brandongeiger2. I pretty much can't stand it if anything I build falls short of my expectations. Mcbreja I think it will be a two seater. Then some day I would love to build one using a 4 cylinder motor cycle engine.
