Club History
The club originally started back in 2018 as 'Aussie Cyclekarts', with the aim of connecting anyone with an interest in Cyclekarts in Australia. It originally comprised of the website cyclekarts.com.au and the Facebook page 'Aussie Cyclekarts'. The website was created as a place to promote builds, meets and shed gatherings and maybe down the track, when there were enough running Cyclekarts, facilitate some Cyclekart events so that those of us with running Cyclekarts could race against each other, and further promote the 'Sport' to the wider community.
With the growth of the community and the number of Cyclekart builds increasing, we started to take a look into organising some events, but quickly found that to do this properly was not straightforwards. In fact many organisations would not even speak to us as we were not an incorporated club. So in response to this, the 'Cyclekart Club of Australia' was formally incorporated in February 2024 to form a legal entity that can formally negotiate and organise events and events insurances, something that we found very difficult to do as on an individual level. Incorporation also helps shield the committee from the personal risk associated with organising and running dynamic events. We then changed the website to the current cyclekarts.org.au to reflect the new status as an officially recognised club. The 'Aussie Cyclekarts' name is still retained on the Facebook and Instagram accounts.
Get on board
Now is a good to time if you are considering building a Cyclekart. The community is growing and we are getting to the stage where the increase in finished Cyclekarts will finally start to support some small events.
So to help facilitate and promote Cyclekart events in your area we are waiving membership fees for the remainder of 2024. Anyone joining before the end of December will receive a full membership which will be valid up until the end of 2025! That's over 12 months for free. This includes your permanently allocated driver number and if you have a finished cyclekart, an engraved CCA chassis plate and logbook. It's worth joining just to secure a low digit driver number.
The club is also currently promoting small events and looking for active participants that are keen to champion Cyclekart events in their local area. We have a number of state committee roles that need to be filled. If you think that you have what it takes to help run an event and are keen to get involved with promoting Cyclekarting in your area, please get in touch.
