Thank you Steve so very much for your thoughtful consideration towards all of us who are following in your footsteps, by creating these videos. You have done so much positive assistance...remember the proverbial saying"A picture is worth 1000 words" well these videos will put many of us behind the wheel of a cycle kart.I salute you, my hat is off ,i am deeply grateful for your kindness towards me and many other beginners. nice build,I love the hydraulic brake, and specially the louvers.also the painted rims and spokes...looks so good
Thanks very much. If I can help you with your build, just ask.
I can't believe it took this long for me to stumble across this video. I'm visualizing one of these Cyclekart's in my future.
Fantastic. This is super fun hobby.
Thank you for your time in making these videos. Without them I'd be lost.
Glad you like them!
WOW, Steve, you have done such a beautiful job on that chassis when I saw you driving it, unbelievable very inspiring! Thank you for the show and sharing!
Thanks very much
Steve excelent project! I loved! Congratulations!! I'm from Brazil.
Thank you very much!
Really appreciate you doing these videos!
HI and greetings from Kenmare, in the county of Kerry, southern Ireland. I just recently came across your videos and was instantly brought back to my youth, when as kids, myself and my friends would often build and race boxcarts, but without engines or proper steering. Loving your work and I was wondering if you built much in the way of cars with fenders, or "wings" as we call them over here. Less of the race car look I suppose, but either way, you've inspired me. I'm a real DIY nut, fixer, experimenter, maker and mender and am always looking for my next fun project. Thank again and keep up the great work.
Welcome and hello. Yes I am actually building a 1932 Aston Martin LM8 that will have full fenders, and functional lights
Wonderful series. Thanks for sharing as well as the insight and inspiration. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Some great improvements Steve.......You da man!
Nice work,I see if I can build one myself, in a couple years...nice pastime..
It is a fun hobby. Mostly because you get to build something that looks so great.
Thanks for all the info. Great inspiration to do it myself as well.
You can do it!
Nice job!
Nice build and very awesome series. I'l be using your videos as a guide in building my first cycle kart. question, how far from the ground is lowest part of your floor?
4" from the ground
Subscribed. We’re in on building one. 👍🏻
Fantastic. Let me know if you have any questions.
Steve your videos are always very helpful.
I do have a question for you…
I’m designing my 1st kart now. My inspiration car is the 1936 Auto Union type C, and as such a double leaf spring set-up won’t work. The axle needs to be very far forward, so I’m thinking a quarter elliptical arrangement might be best.
I get the concept, but was hoping to might know where I could find a good how to for this specific set up.
Kart on…
David
Yes, use the inspiration cars suspension and copy it
I would use bolt on bearings to lower the frame.
Some guys have mounted the axle bearings above the frame. It really depends on your approach and the Inspiration Car. If it was a low slung speedster like the Austin 7 or a tall car like the Model T.
Iam subcribe cause iam like your channel... I hope this channel always good
I have a question about how your front suspension and your tie rods work with each other. Are the heim joints that come off of the knuckle being parallel to the ground the secret to getting it to move smoothly with bumps in the road?
yes parallel to the ground helps. with the KPI, they may bind a bit at the travel limits if not parallel.
On the valve cover the vent (hole in valve cover) needs to go to a K&N filter or as I do a big fuel filter.
yes, I have since added that.
Hermoso cycle !!!
Thank you
You need an English wheel,where ever you want to bead roll you work on the wheel,that will keep it from warping
Good tip. Thanks
I built a three wheel bicycle and the steering I added hood struts to the steering to get the shake out of it
Good idea. Thanks
@@stevevinson6030 No problem
That's very good quality workmanship and design. Any interest in selling a rolling frame finished to the point of your 1st test ride. Very interested in getting involved in cyclekart up here in Canada but don't have the expertise to build the frame to the quality you have demonstrated. If so how do I contact you.
Thanks for your kind words, unfortunately I really don't have time right now to build another kart, there are a few for sale that may interest you on the www.cyclekartclub.com web site

I respect you.
Thank you
Love it. How can I buy one?
Most guys build their own. Mark at Renegade CycleKarts builds a frame and other parts. Check out his web site and give him a call, he can do custom items too.

Looks great. Did you have/make a punch and die or have louvre press available? Curious how you did them on a budget. Thanks.
I use a professional for the Louvers. Some guys have built louver presses for their project. I chose the "easy button" and sought the help of a Pro.
Just WOW .
Thanks for watching, I appreciate it.
belo trabalho .................................................................
I will like to build one how much $$ you think will I need to build one?
Probably around $2500
I was thinking of trying to build one is it hard?
It really isn't hard. It is a lot of work, but it is definitely worth the efforts. I am happy to help, any way I can. Thanks for watching the video, btw.
I would be lost in the welding and framing department. My father might be able to though. I need to do more research! But definitely something I want to get into this looks amazing!!
@@MarkFisch Learning to weld is part of the adventure.
how long was the cart on the club build, the body tip to tip, i know the body was 8 feet, tks
Good question. I think about 9 feet to the tail.
where do you get the wheels for it ? also how did you make the luvers
Vintage Kart Co in Mesa, Az has them. They are from a Honda CT90. The louvers were punched by a local hotrod builder. Thanks for watching
Hi, the engine is GX 100 ? or bigger ? Thanks, Julian
I use the Honda GX200, many others are using the Clone motors like the 212 from Harbor Freight. There are several companies who build motors very similiar
What size and length of the rear axle were can you find the parts list thanks

what stops a fella from dropping a 500CC Four-cylinder, Five-speed engine in one of these Cyclekarts? There must be rules - right?
We do have some 'builder guidelines', this usually starts a discussion about what is a cyclekart. In my opinion, if you go with a big motorcycle engine, you are really building a CycleCar. On the surface they look about the same. But hey, this is 'Merica, build what makes you happy.
Does it drive a solid axle or one wheel only
This one has a differential, so both wheels are powered. the more common set up is a solid axle with one wheel keyed. You can key both wheels, but it makes it a bit of a struggle to steer.
Were do you find the wheels and are all four the same
www.huntsvillegp.com/get_started/?fbclid=IwAR0NgfN570dzc12NbkH4BmGfH_8j428DcnNY0HquP0YR5gnsjfpm4Xm4OmE
How much for number 7?
Oh, thanks very much. I would have a hard time selling her. If our serious, we can talk
the frame was 8 feet,
Yes
Where do you source the wheels ?
Used wheels can be found on ebay and other sites. Honda CT90 or similar or you can order brand new reproductions from my friend at andrew@in-groundtrampolines.com
A Credit to you.
Thanks for watching.
@@stevevinson6030 your most welcome greetings from Ireland
Can I use a drill for all this shit instead
Whatever works for you.
This is great! Where did you get your axle? Does it have to be custom made? Thanks it looking great!
At the time of this video, I had it custom bent for my at a local fab shop here in Phoenix,
Now you can order it ready made at www.renegadecyclekarts.com/
