i might also add, the cyclekarts will need some degree of scrutineering. i also think if a rear diff is used, a brake rotor must be installed on both sides to ensure it will stop. id hate to smash into someone all because one wheel didnt quite have enough grip, and therefore no brakes. i know simplicity is key, but so is safety, and i didnt incorporate crumple zones in my design
might help with insurance also if they know we are actively scrutineering the vehiclesPost is under moderationStream item published successfully. Item will now be visible on your stream. -

Lovely work. I got about half way through building one but never could find the time to finish it. After tripping over it for 6 years or so I gave in More ... -
Yes nightmonkey, very impressive. I am seriously jealous of your skills!! -

Mick commented on this post about 1 year agoYou could also buy this spring instead

Thats not a bad solution but it is worth noting that they are about 250mm longer then the buggy cart springs that they favour in the US and so will More ...
-
Good to note. Ill be running my spring horizontally, and this spring is perfect for that application. So i guess its no good for 2 leaves up front
-
TBH there's very little choice as the buggy springs that the US folks use are just not available here. These will work fine, but just need to adjust More ...

Middo commented on this post about 1 year agoHi night monkey, I haven’t built a Kart yet because I felt that if no one else was interested in the area it would not be worth while. If however we can get a group together I will build a kart and get involved. Let me know what happens.

If anyone else in the Sydney area is reading this and is interested, let’s get something going here, I think it would be a lot of fun.Comments (4)-
Definitely. Let the building begin gentlemen!

These are the rims ive bought, $110 each from ebay, seller from wollongong. These hubs accept the 35x17mm bearings that gokarts use on the front More ...
-
Yes the postie bike wheels can be hard to source and a lot more expensive.

II bought the same rims without tyres the other day from Ebay. Thought I'd scored a bargain at $35 each and free shipping but by the time I add tyres More ...

Nikki reacted to this post about 1 year agoHello all. About to embark on my first build. Wheels arrived today. Been looking into this for a while now, and the time has come. My build will be electric (qs138 4000w) which is the equivalent to a honda 6.5hpComments (5)
-
An electric build is an interesting proposition. Obviously the way of the future. What kind of size / weight will the batteries be to be able to More ...
-
Hi mick.
It will be 72v, with a minimum of 50ah. Ill use a lifepo4 battery, as they dont suffer from thermal runaway. Around the 10-15kg area. Will More ... -
Ahh so a very similar weight to the 6.5hp motor maybe even a little lighter when you include fluids. What's the range on a setup like that? I assume More ...
-
It depends on the tune. The the more amps i pump into it, the less range ill get. You can go crazy with these things, a bac8000 controller will give More ...
-
Love that idea of a race tune at the flick of a switch. What it is Tesla call it - 'insane mode' or something lol. Reminds of a recent news story of More ...
