Thanks for watching - cyclekarts are a mix between a cyclecar and a go kart - hence the fixed frame at the rear. This is based off the original Stevenson cyclekart that started it all in the 90’s. You’re more than welcome to add rear suspension if you’d like but the point of cyclekarts is for it to be fun, cost effective and accessible to everyone from beginners onward.

Good to hear some people in Brisbane are building one, hopefully we can find a spot to take them for a run

Good luck mate, keep us updated on the build! Thanks for watching l

Thank you for watching and for the compliment! I’ll be looking to modify the lift up body idea a bit on the next one

Thank you for watching the videos, I hope they gave you a little bit of inspiration. The hardest part is choosing the pre war car to recreate. Once you make that decision everything else will flow. You’ve got all the parts, make a decision this weekend and get started!

@@junkyardracer57 thanks for the encouragement.

There’ll be videos about my Humbers soon, thanks for watching.

Thank you so much!

@@junkyardracer57 I thought the side-hinged body was a neat solution to the problem of getting in and out.

It sure is! Thank you for watching my video 🤝

Glad you enjoyed it Mick

Thanks Paul!

Hi there, thanks for watching! I’m Andrew, Noel’s son - Dad has two Humbers, I’ll confirm for you which one this is!

@@junkyardracer57 Thanks. Have a great day.

Where can I find more info on that event? I'd love to check that out too! Google seems no help

Sounds like fun! We’ll be in Ottawa in august to see our nephew/cousin! 🇨🇦 🍁

Hi Carlos yes toward the end of the year we will be building another cyclekart. You can watch the playlist on my channel that shows you how I built this one. Gracias

Hi Tim, Andrew here - Noel’s son. I know dad got the wheels and the bulk of the components from China through Ali Express and has been surprised and pleased with the quality. Next kart we build I’ll make sure dad keeps track of where everything comes from and we’ll make a downloadable pdf available . Thanks for watching mate!

Thanks Andrew, look forward to the next build @@junkyardracer57

​@@junkyardracer57 Hi Andrew would it be possible to get your dad to give specs on a few particular parts? - WHEELS with hub axle diameter, FRONT SPINDLES with axle length and diameter, REAR AXLE dimensions. Thanks.

Check out my playlist Carlos: kzfaq.info/sun/PLGV4NyfvHEMhgpMozBrnbjWsB5-Q49UAJ&si=U5A6-PfBMpkHnJCm

Gracias por mirar!

😉

Where do these race in Australia?

Hi mate, thanks for watching! I got them from Ali Express, and like most parts on the kart they had to be modified. If you have the cash, probably worth investing in parts from the US.

Not many at all, a new one is in its infancy here on the Gold Coast, but we’re looking to network and find out if any more near us have popped up :)

Glad you like it! Thanks for joining me on the cyclekart journey

It’s lots of fun, can’t wait for another run soon

Glad you enjoyed it!

Go for it, it’s lots of fun!

Thanks for watching and for the compliments on the build. I’m very happy with the hinged bonnet/hood, it works a treat.

Thank you Troy, wish I could take it Bonneville!

Thanks for watching, and the kind words Roger!

Thank you!

Thanks Adam, wish I could bring it over for a run on the salt!

Great to meet you Heath, hope to catch up at the December tech space open day!

​@@junkyardracer57 hello there sir. i appreciate and admire you a lot. I'm 17 in the uk planning to make a cycle kart for my 2nd project (i am after a more bugatti type 35 look). Seeing as you made a beautiful work of art is there any advice you can spare me? thank you in advance and take care.

Sounds fun, we used to live in Cairns - my youngest son Sam was born up there. Will let you know if we make it back up that way. Thanks for watching and the lovely words.

Thank you!

Stay posted - hoping to organise cyclekart events at the Showgrounds as I’m a member of the vintage car club. Thanks for watching .

Hi mate, we’ll do a Q&A video next up and answer some of these questions - can’t remember where the diff came from, but it was after some google searches

Thanks for watching and yes the bonnet/hood has sparked a bit of interest. It works really well and makes life easier for sure. Yes, Fangio raced a model A Ford in Argentina before heading to Europe to carve out a legendary career with the big European teams.

Hi Ivan, I don’t have a parts list but I’d suggest joining some Aussie cyclekart Facebook groups for some tips. I sourced some of my kit online from Ali Express, eBay and marketplace.

Hi Leslie, dad got it online but isn’t sure where he got it - he feels he may have had it shipped from the USA. For the next one we’re building Noel is keeping a list of where sources parts from!

Thanks for the tip

Thank you, it was amazing. Heading back next year for more fun 🏁🏁

This is a cyclekart, a representation of a ford model A - not a ford rebuild. Cyclekarts are small hobby builds made with Honda GX200 or equivalent engines.

Fantastic, use your imagination 👍

Thank you! Proud of how it’s looking, still a few final bits and pieces to take care of before it’s 100% completed. Thank you for watching

Thanks for watching Tim, so am I

Hoping to shoot a Walk Around this week after a few minor things are fixed up! Thanks for watching!

Still needs a few tweaks but the concept works!

It’s exciting, we’re almost there!

Thank you! Happy to report the hinged hood concept works! Final reveal video coming very soon!

Will be taking it for the first run this week, will let everyone know how it’s operating in the next video - thanks for watching! (The wheels are from Ali Express)
