Wagon Go Karts

[RS870]

Hello, I am new to this site as well as go karting in general. About a year ago I took a beginning welding class and for my first welding project built a wagon go kart.

Good on you, welding is a very useable & useful skill to have

So, can we see your kart?

[RS870]

Thanks, I am still learning how to use this site. I am not sure if I have it geared right, guess time will tell.

Nice little wagon!! Just 2 questions. How do you sit on that thing with no seat, and if you need to turn the wheel a lot, how do you still accelerate?

 

[RS870]

I am still deciding on the seat. Make one of my own design or buy one because it definitely needs one. Not sure I understand the last question?

It looks like you have the accelerator clipped onto the steering wheel. How do you turn the wheel and still work the lever

That is commonly done, Paul- with direct steering, there's generally only about 90* of steering wheel rotation from lock-to-lock. Very manageable with a hand throttle on the wheel. I have the same setup on my race tractor...

That clears it up. Thanks Chris
