imp CycleKart Rain Round 2 w/spins

[@adamgre6819]

Nice little run around the neighbourhood - thanks for sharing!

[@jrrarglblarg9241]

-terrible steering authority -inadequate traction -insufficient braking for speed developed -front to rear weigh balance is off -no signal or marker lights front or rear -an alarming surprise to oncoming traffic -catastrophic damage risk in event of collision In short, a perfect homage to the pioneers of automobiling.😀 Practice safe cyclekarting, folks. Your mileage may vary from results shown.😉👍

[@holzbrian7049]

Good example why you might not want a solid rear axle

[@johndoe-ys2ft]

Great vid. Looks like fun! ;)

[@offtopicjes]

love the drifts! your stuff is so clean, your cart here is very well thought out, seems pretty loose haha. im building a kart loosely based off of the lotus 49 and your cart work is just inspiring!

[@musicalfox539]

More videos plz ;-;

[@lemurdreamur9257]

I'll try and make that happen soon :)

[@lemurdreamur9257]

Sun is shining today and I'm going to take it out for a drive. Need to find somewhere new to film so it doesnt feel repetitive.. Maybe some dirt rally and new camera placements will keep things fresh? I need to give the people what they want 😄 haha

A good job there was not much traffic about. It is a grrat shame that we could not drove these on the roads in England. Are there any regulations or requirements where you are.

[@theadventuresofshellyandfr5618]

Cool!

[@FilmMission]

very cool

MADNESS 😁

[@shadow-ho3ii]

That's amazing dude keep it up... Quick question how much hp is your engine?

[@biketech60]

A cycle kart , when built to spec has around 6 horsepower at it's peak RPM . A close to 200cc single cylinder 4 stroke powered by gasoline . Honda , Predator , etc.

[@DavidAbella]

Have you experienced any engine overheating? Seems like there is limited ventilation.

[@lemurdreamur9257]

Not that I'm aware of. The open nature of the spare wheel was intended to allow the heat escape. I have experimented with not running the vinyl cover inorder to act as an intake, but it's hard to say if it made a difference or is needed..?

[@paultinwell5557]

Teflon tyres?

[@lemurdreamur9257]

Haha.. Just too overzealous in the rain... the cornering grip in the dry is surprisingly impressive

[@robertwillis4061]

What pressure are you using for the tyres front n rear? Could try 2 - 3 psi less for wet weather. Or if possible, wider rear tyres.

[@lemurdreamur9257]

@@robertwillis4061 that's a good idea, I didn't think to lower for the wet, I was still running 30psi front and rear...

[@stephenandloriyoung5716]

Any idea why it was so skittish in the rain? Think a motorcycle would have skidded where the cyclekart did? (Good plan, that, having the skids when alone on the road.) I thought when you got on the coarser surface it would be stable, but it didn't seem to change.

[@lemurdreamur9257]

I think it was a combination of wet roads, skinny overinflated tires, and my alignment is far from exact ;) It was a real home job/first build and in the end things didn't end up lining up as square as I would have liked.. My front axle warped a good bit when welding and my spindles ended up a bit off when it was all said and done. Honestly though; I think it was mostly my driving.. I was intentionally trying to get it to kick out in order to find the limit. I suppose I went past the limit it a number of times....

[@timurmurzabekov3821]

👍👍👍

[@Hjerte_Verke]

Wet, rear wheel drive and low traction of the wheels. Very easy to induce oversteer.

[@El_Transportacoches_33]

Are the cyclekarts "street legal vehicles"?

[@Yosser70]

Nope 😂

[@ThatYoutubeGuy224]

If go karts ain't street legal then cycle karts aren't

[@Yosser70]

@@ThatKZbinGuy224 Actually, theres a few street legal one but they aren’t really cyclekarts when all the work has been done.

[@ThatYoutubeGuy224]

@@Yosser70 yeah, it wouldn't be classified a cyclekart since the amount of stuff you have to change to make it street legal

[@llamathenerd1672]

Where did you get those wheels?

[@lemurdreamur9257]

I ordered them for.m VKC, but they are just honda CT90 wheels. Check out Kelly Woods for great ideas for building and scavenging wheels

[@GoodRage1989]

what is VKC? @@lemurdreamur9257

[@terryglenweaver]

How much problems do you have with police? Can it be used on a sidewalk? I cannot drive a normal car but sonething under 35mph would work. And due to injuries 6 mph for any distance is too much to bare. In fact my cart will have me almost prone so i can do long distance for long times. Sitting upright i can last for about an hour. This makes those electric chairs impossible for me.

[@wcsnoman]

You can't drive a gokart on the sidewalk. Maybe something powered by a moped engine?

[@rvvv5205]

What is the wrong with gauges on dashboard ? Out of work!

[@lemurdreamur9257]

They are faux replica gauges of the inspiration car, but just for looks. They're non functional.

[@jubylam7108]

Has reverse???

[@lemurdreamur9257]

It doesn't. I grab the rear wheels and do the "wheel chair" when I need to back out of a tight spot..

Haha it does! It was in and around 80kph so not that far off ;)

[@chuckmaddison2924]

By the color of the line on the road, I assume this is the US. Here in Australia and especially in the West that car would be as legal as cocaine . Not 😊

Randy, I would advise you to never do this. Good call.
