My toys over the years

[mikepctvman]

Ive been into things with motors since I was little, both two and four wheels. figure I share the toys ive had over the years, all except the purple two seater kart I don't have anymore although I wish I had kept most (if I had the space too) first one is an electric scooter, second is a sit down scooter with my goped next to it, my first carter with the headlights and roll cage, second carter super wheels, goped, two Yamaha R1 pocket bike replicas, and my current purple thunder kart I plan to keep

Maybe if you wash them off and put a bow on them we might consider it

They handle just fine... Very fun.
I love your box Chevy Caprice. It looks clean. I miss my Buick.

Robert is selling patches for your eyes if Doug does show his toys.

Yeah I miss my caprice as well, even though it was a gas hog it would still out last anything made today smh. I like alot of the other projects you all have too

I was trying to find a mini bike, the max load says 120lbs is that as much as the stock motor can push or the whole frame itself? I'm not a big guy I weigh 165 but 120 for something like that seems a bit low. ive seen people switch out the weak stock 2hp motors to bigger ones

 

[Poboy kartman]

Well...generally speaking....engines don't lift "loads"...however, vehicles are rated for the amount they are designed to carry .

Soooo....mostest likeyest...that particular designation is exclusively what you put on a vehicle.

The determining factors for that are usually not engine power....but frame and component strength and the strength of their ligitigation laywers.

Gearing is key when trying to move loads sideways with underpowered engines....usually accomplishable , but by trading off top speed.

 

[mikepctvman]

I see, so I'd be better off looking for a frame designed to carry a heavier rider, I probably could get away on the weaker ones but you're right I'd probably just be putting along at slow speeds

psst...that is just a recommendation... I am 210lbs and have 212cc predator in it. It hauls...

Edit: I sure do love the ellipsis...

Just go on a diet to get your fat butt smaller.... (I can say that.....I'm a buck and a half )....(fully clothed and soaking wet!)

Haha I guess I'll have to do that
