Ive wanted to do this for a while now, but only recently managed to find a Kart local enough and cheep enough to think YES go on then
so i hope it don't get shelved or i loose interest or just sell it cause this will i hope work well!
plans
to start with i want to get it running on battery's at a speed!
don't laugh! 10 MPH with foot throttle variable speed and reverse !
once i get this far the transmission will be right and working then an upgraded motor and speed controller for extra boost sorry SPEED!
so pictures as it stands now!
yesterday i made up the stands to get the kart off the ground so its at a good working hight so i dont feck my back bending over
You nutter, if you get it done, bring it to the next meet so we can all have a go up cheddar gorge or something. Bring cookies too
Andy
You'll break something when you get it up and working lol
Its already slammed so just bang some clones on and job done lol
Only if it was a scooter, yeah I've seen the video.
I have a nice 125 motocross engine that would go like a rocket with that in it
yes but with an engine you cant drive it on the road !
anyway here is a loose plan of action
for the drive i have a motor driven trans axle with built in diff
which I'm going to graft onto the existing axle
via 2 sets of chain and sprockets and the original kart axle is going to be cut and joined with a double bearing allowing the axle to turn sharper without skidding the tyres allowing the diff to work
This could be epic! Needs that 125 engine

so your making this road legal? does it fit in the back of the 'state?
box of electronics to graft on once the mechanical stuff is done
yes it just fits in the estate had to take the rear wheels off but it went in
haha awesome, my mate had a quad bike that fitted in the back if you took the wheels off, that made an appearance at a few pug meeets haha

+1. In fact, f*ck that, +961
road legal
im sure it will only be road legal if it goes less than a certain speed i mayb wrong tho
this is quite cool! i like it!!
Oh it has wheels on it now then
This a an ace project. It will be cool to see what speeds you can get it to

When I saw the title I thought you were getting one of these:

Knowing your history it'd be much safer and much more appropriate
^ Bit high of the ground though, could have stability issues, gravity doesn't need any more assistance
Looks like a fun project, hope it gets done
gathering a list of sprockets and chain i need
have sent off for a few quotes
2xqty 06B1-30T 1210 taper sprocket 3/8 pitch
2xqty 06B1-57T 1210 taper sprocket 3/8 pitch
2xqty 1210-30mm taper lock bush keywayed
2xqty 1210-3/4inch taper lock bush keywayed
2mtr 06B1-3/8 simpex chain
2xqty 06B1-3/8 simpex chain con links
125 crosser engine and the electric motor. hybrib me is thinking????
sorry petrol engine in a Kart its a bit well bolt in dont need to think about it!
dont you guys like a challenge?
going electric most if not all the mounts will have to be fabricated which means thinking and planning your route
i dont want to go down the ovious route but if the electric falls over i have that option too but its not one im planning on taking just yet !
or as for hybrid what about petrol gen-electric i have a 2.8KW gennie in the garage
What you going to power it off of? Car battery?
power will be from 2 lead acid gell cells to start with so 24v with the first build
started to make up motor mounts
So your providing the the "drift taxis" at FCS? Lol
ok so all my sprockets have turned up so have mocked up the drive
but ive run out of metal so need to go back to work to raid the scrap bin
