Lots of people don't have the luxury of a well kitted out workshop but still want to make stuff, they just don't always know where to start.
So this project is for those people (which was me not so long ago)
PART 2 OUT NEXT THURSDAY/FURZEDAY SUBSCRIBE
All the parts were bought from www.pitbikepart...
This is not a sponsored video just thought its easier if everything comes from one place, they know what i've had so if you undertake this project and need any of the parts just call them and they will sort you out.
A picture Gallery will be uploaded to my website next week when project is complete.

Fun fact: back when I was super interested in building homemade go karts, I watched this very video first. That all happened around the time this video came out - 6 years ago. 6 years ago, I didn’t know anything about anything involving go karts and their parts (Jeez, I’m going to be a rapper someday- Karts? Parts? Get it?), so I was pretty impressed with what you had in your shop. Looking at it from my current age’s perspective, it’s not as extravagant but it’s still pretty cool. I mean, who just has a welder casually chilling in the corner of a generic garage?

After you're all done, revert the Ziploc bag to its normal state, and you'll have all your pesky metal shavings in a bag that you can seal and throw out.

Metric is good for science, as many of the equations are based around it, but Imperial is better for estimates, and for projects it doesn't matter. For instance, you wouldn't say "that guy is about 170 centimeters tall" nor would you say "they're about 2 meters." One is too specific, the other too precise. However, saying "that guy is about 5.5 feet" is easier. And the suchlike.

This is something where you can very easily choose your own measurements. After all, you might need more of less legroom than Colin. And because there's no welding, if something ends up being too long/short, you can simply shorten it/make a new part and bolt it in.

Colin Richardson I agree it can be a pain finding materials locally and it can get expensive buying online when you take postage into account. Search for your nearest steel stockholders and give them a call, ask if they have an offcuts section or scrap pile you can look through. My local place has racks of "offcuts" up to about 3m long and the 50x50 box section is about 3 or 4 quid a metre. There's a scrap pile with small offcuts of plate and flat bar that they sell by the kilo for pocket change. I've never tried any but apparently a lot of fabrication places usually have a decent scrap pile you can buy from.

A lot of air will be sucked underneath the cart and pass under the seat, this will get to the engine just fine, the air behind the seat is not going to be sitting still, there will be a fair bit of air movement. It wouldn't overheat even at low speeds or standing still, as long as it's not revving flat out for long periods it shouldn't get too hot anyway.

Hey Colin. I wanted to get one of those cheap Chinese electric bicycle conversation kits - then make it into a PCV pipe go cart for my kids. I’d love to see your take on a PVC pipe / electric project. Cheers. Love your channel !

@willlist 3 жыл бұрын

Definitely on my bucket list. Still think that if you'd mounted the front wheel assembly upside down you'd have had some neat looking camber. 4 years on and i still love this project

the entire thing is a bolt on, its all sketchy, the only way to have a go kart that isnt sketchy is to spend 12k on it, and even then, its still fuckin gnarly as shit, go karts flip if theyre gas powered and you hit a rock theres no fun if its safe
