3 Seater Gokart Build for the Kids
Hi
Check out my daughter's rock crawling skills. I built this during the lock down and still not 100% finished. I made it so that as they get older I can move and change the seat as they grow and put in a bigger engine but much later on. For now there is a 50cc chain saw with a 64:1 ratio box, should keep them out of trouble unlike me.
I'm thinking of putting on a DC motor with reverse so they can ride in the yard, I read on the forum you can use a wiper motor.

There is 6 parts to this video so far, check out out the build if you interested you can search "the make it factory" on you tube.

Thats really cool.
Not sure a wiper motor would have enough power to move a gokart with 3 kids in it though...2009 Suzuki GV 3.2

Very very nice and nice to see there’s a father still doing this kind of thing. Just let the kids wear helmets. I was working for a air ambulance and got a callout to fetch a kid who rolled his at slow speed but he ended up underneath with severe head injuries.

Very nifty! That is one very chuffed young lady! Great job, just make sure you always have gas for it though!
GOF!
