My kids wanted gokart, but gokarts are good for flat tarmac – on gravel bumpy roads they could really hurt Your kidneys and rear areas ;-)

So I’ve bouht some scrap yard parts from old cars, some metal profiles and made the full suspension go kart. Front suspension is almost like in buggy cars. No proffesional tools (apart welder) were used for the construction, so I think that every diy enthusiast can do that alone.

Here You can watch how the go kart is riding

Started from buying cheap, used parts

Then the sketch of the project to see angles and proportions

No big workshop, all works on the garage floor

Here is the front suspension

And hear the rear suspension

Once again the rear suspension

New parts because of safety – engine, sprocket and fluid brakes from motorcross

Tada! First glimpse

Mounting all after painting

Adding the floor

Made wooden seats covered with artificial skin

Finally the ride!

Kids loved the go kart

Not only kids like the car ;-)

The end:)
