What power engine do you use in your cars?

Thanks for the shoutout Steve! We appreciate everything you do.

Those wheels are going to look sharp! I've never seen spokes put on a wheel before. thanks for the video. I'm new to cyclekarts and hope to do my first build later this year. I won't be intimidated by putting spokes on a wheel now.

Those wheel are going to look killer when you are done.

Really looking forward to seeing your next build

Does anybody have a vid using Marks (Renegade) hubs, for the cheap China 17" MX Pit Bike Rim?

I'm thinking some memory foam seats and some kind of springs under it to make some kind of spring ride cushion seat like the truckers lol

I live in Palm Coast Florida. Where do they have these cyclecar meets? I'm interested in seeing these in person.

Nice simple canoe, some handy hints thanks.

Hi Steve, Happy Holidays! So quick question for you. What is the welder you use on your frames? I need to get a welder still to start my frame and was curious what you use. Type of welder, and size? Thanks from Cyclekarts Club member, Damon Designs. Look forward to meeting someday, hopefully in 2025

Willcox is near Benson and Tombstone. Off I-10.

Well said, Steve!!! I'm new to this since a year. Built a pedal assist electric car . Not a cyclekart...YET!! I'm a sentimental gal and am in love with the classic, traditional appeal of these Vintage cars. I so appreciate what you do and how you share accurate information. God bless, and thank you! One day I will build one, and it will be by the book and honorable!

I just got my 224 and NR Racing Stage 1 Hop Up Kit! After seeing your video, I am now going to replace the cam as well. The nylon cam gear has to go. I'll be putting mine on a minibike. Thanks for the video; I'll be using it to assemble mine. Ill also be doing the break-in method like yours. It always made more sense to me to flush it out versus running a couple hours on a single kind of oil.

Hi Steve I'm having a hard time finding 17 inch rims in Canada every bike shop that I have called said that they don't use 17 inch rims and tires anymore 😭.

man I wish I was in a position to make one of these. I'd do the napier railton probably, but I have a list of other projects I need to finish as long as my arm already

The 6 inch stretched doodlebug looks awsome I need to do that to mine after a wheelie bar

The timber for the seat looks way too thick.

Nice, work with videos and work. Thank you for sorting out the cycle kart definitions, or the whats what, may help rather share experience not be shunned away for running wrong gear, just in case I could make an event.

Good job, with this kit i don't need a billet rod.

very cool build

TERRIFIC individual. we should ALL be like him. Some of us, try!! :-) Florida's chock-full of Genius, kids!! a little gray-haired, but STILL kickin' :-)))

Holly man 😱😱😱😱🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍

Steve - very nice boat, congrats on such a beautiful canoe! One question, please - Any thoughts on fiberglassing the entire exterior of the boat? Would that help with strength / longevity? Is there a downside to that? I am looking to start this project soon with my son but I am wondering about doing just the seams (per the plans) vs the entire boat.

thanks for you videos I am going to start a build myself

Is it a no no to put a 125cc Lifan with a four speed trans or would that be a cycle car? Thank you for the informative video.

Seems to me that for the people that want to make changes they should build a car to "spec" first and then start looking at modifications at performance upgrades. Find out how good the car works before you decide to make it something else entirely. I imagine that just putting in a bigger, more powerful engine just creates a cascade effect of other things that need to be upgraded to compensate for the additional power from the bigger engine. Better suspension, bigger brakes, front brakes, better/bigger tires, beefier hubs and axles, frame reinforcement. All these things that put you right back to where you started in terms of the power:weight ratio, just in a much more expensive package. I too, am looking at building my first cycle kart and asked all these questions and after thinking about it came up with the same answers. The cars are meant to be cheap(ish), fun to drive, but also rewarding to build and something of an artistic endeavor.

My dad used to race go-karts back in the 80s- early 90s running 5hp Briggs and Stratton motors and all the ways small engine dudes find top get just even the smallest percentage of gains out of these small engines never ceases to amaze me. But a few fractions of a percent, aggregated over many iterations and modifications really starts to add up to big gains.

Now, this is what I call a cyclekart! Great build, you must be really pleased with what you’ve created.

Hi Steve, thanks so much for making these videos, really enjoying watching how you figure things out. I am based in the uk and have just started my first build. I know this video was made awhile ago, but do you remember what part you used for your steering wheel quick release. And also do I need a steering shaft that is threaded on one end, or do I just weld the quick release to the steering shaft? Thanks in advance for any info, regard’s Jeff

If the frame rails by the axle aren't parallel, how will the bearings spin properly?

thank you this is very helpful keep up the good work much appreciated.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🇮🇩

Como se le quita lo aselerado a ese motor

Excellent

This build turned out nice! Great job everyone!

nice driving.....miss that neck of the woods

So sad. When I first came across cycle carts I felt I could be competitive spending abour 2500 bucks. Affordable fun racing with others in exactly the same spec cars. Awesome. And instead it has devolved into a car that is over engineered and super esxpensive. I want to to see how much you have sopent on these cars. Expensive alloys, complex suspensions. Hand made custom bodies. FFS way to make a fun grassroots everyman's racing series into another rich guy hobby. FACK!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍🇮🇩

You need to make a saddle to align and hold the axle

The Honda CT90 Wheels are kind of hard to find any that aren't bent is there any other will configuration that will work in place of it The ones on eBay are narrower and don't look as good That's the only thing that's holding me up from building my first cycle car is finding a good wheel tire combination anybody have any info let me know please thank you

I am going to assume since your back axle is fixed, you adjust your rid height by the length of your shacl;es ?

Where can I get a set of plans, as I live in UK thanks Rick

Beautiful work.
