More Advanced Designs

There are also many variations on this basic design with profiled chassis and more ornate bodywork or construction techniques but the basic wheelbase, track and engine remains the same. There is no real limit to what else you can do as long as your CycleKart follows the basic specifications as detailed in the CycleKart Guidelines 

Most people that are building a Cyclekart, overlay an image of their tribute car on top of the basic design blueprint above, so that they can scale the shape and dimensions of the body. You can find a step-by-step process of how to do this in the article "How to overlay an image of your tribute car"

You can find some additional plans and discussions on chassis design in the forums HERE

Generally CycleKarts are representation of actual cars from the period. However, CycleKarts that are not based on specific cars, but are constructed in the style of cars of the period are also fine. Any open wheeled car that fits in with the general aesthetic is perfectly acceptable, for example here in Australia, Midgets and Speedcars can also be adapted to the Cyclekart format which works really well.
