Trike conversion from a cheap Chinese Zyliathor go kart

[Hellion]

Amazon's AZ guarantee claim granted n I can keep the go cart

Do you mean they refunded your money and you are keeping the kart? That's often the case, if it's a used and defective product and it is not worth their time and money taking it back (they don't have to pay for return shipping).

In any event, you should move forward and fix/modify/improve the dang thing. I want to see how bad these Trail Ripper Quad copies are and how good they can become.

With your luck it probably has an aluminum frame.

 

[Ralphie999]

Lol, I checked n double checked, and checked again, carbon steel frame

 

[Ralphie999]

Just need to glue this on front of cart

So the plan is it's going to be a trike?

 

[Ralphie999]

Yes

 

[Ralphie999]

The weight savings should help. I had a 3 wheeler.b4 they were outlawed. Somehow calling it a drift trike they skirted the law?

 

[Grizzlymi]

Interesting. I like the idea. Have any better pics of the original kart from amazon like the Steering tube or head tube?

 

[Ralphie999]

Here you go

You should rename the thread to ....."Trike from a cheap Chinese kart" or "Rebirth" or whatever you like.

I can envision this. I see you could weld the head tube from the bike to that steering plate and make it work. You'd have to cut off all that unneeded tubing and such forward of the plate. Warning though, I envision lots of things in my head. I do see this working though.

 

[Ralphie999]

Yeah, no biggie

 

[Grizzlymi]

I do look forward to see how this pans out and the progress of it.

I read your review on Scamazon, pretty scathing. Glad you posted it here too before Amazon stops selling it and the whole page goes away.

Zliathor Go Kart for Adults & Kids 212cc 4-Stroke Gas 45MPH CVT Transmission, 6'' Off-Road Tires, Hydraulic Disc Brakes, 50+ Miles Range (Black)

Edited to add photos from the listing (click thumbnails for full size):

The sellers Lied about everything for weeks on end
After Amazon's refund landed in my.bank, i.get an email from seller how I need to pack.and ship it all back, they would inspect it and then they would refund my money
Lmao
Amazon told me item is Non-Returnable, so I keep it.

Hellion, thanks for posting the link to that on Amazon, I was not able to find it previously. It is astonishing that the "kart" is designed to have the engine up on risers like that. There is no way the chain will stay aligned, no way. Hell, the engine is crooked in several of the pictures. What a piece of garbage!

I see what you mean in the below photo. The engine is lower in other photos but still looks janky.






What's the deal with the red (plastic?) design element on the wheels? Rim protector or fake beadlocks?

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

That cars and cameras episode I posted about this same cart shows how janky it is
