    Go-cart "for the kids"

    Cheap and cheerful project for my kids. Making it as a roller, but with room to bolt on the motor once they get the idea of driving and stopping the roller.

    Frame

    Mock up to see how it looks


    As a kid I made a trolley, it had no brakes and was made from wood and old lawnmower wheels...let's just say H&S wasn't high priority for parents back in the 70's... but I survived. I wish to give my kids similar, but slightly safer opportunities, so this one has pneumatic wheels and brakes!

    Mini quad axle, modified to accept a huge disc brake caliper I already had.






    Will hopefully get some more free time this weekend get a bit more done.
