Making Crazy 500cc GoKart

To make the vehicle I used an engine from a Kawasaki GPZ500/ER5 motorcycle with a power of 60hp. Parts such as brakes, bearings, wheels and hubs come from a high-performance go-kart. The axle was made to order from stainless steel. Go kart F1 has an incredible acceleration and power which gives a lot of fun especially when driving on the track, the weight despite the large engine is low which enhances the driving experience and great fun.

Excellent design and engineering skills! As a recently retired Science teacher, it saddens me to think of how many boys are wasting their time playing video games and watching tiktok instead of developing the skills to do this kind of thing. THIS kind of skill can earn one a living, while video games just dull the brain.

[@jacobyunderhill3999]

Eh, I used to think that about video games. Last game I played was Tony Hawk 3 like two decades ago. But there's been some studies that have shown some of those gaming skills can translate well to the real world, but you do have to make the effort to exist in the real world for that to matter... That said, there's such a satisfaction in making things and especially for developing brains, getting that hands-on experience, relishing something physical you brought into existence; it's an amazing confidence booster. Feel like stuff like this should be a much larger part of curriculums. The trades need a boost for sure, but even if you end up in an office job, the lessons in planning, problem solving and pacing are going to translate 100%.

[@joshbrookes6439]

Your concern is duly noted good sir however this is far from over powered, if you compare this to one of today's modern entry level novice 100cc 2 stroke racing Karts I think you'll find the power level is adequate and far from being dangerous especially considering the sturdy and well engineered chassis, the extra long wheel base, wide track, huge 4 wheel disk brakes and as well as relatively tall gearing make this home made machine very safe indeed. One of best I've ever seen infact. 500cc may sound like a lot but trust me that particular engine is sourced from what most countries classify as a Learners bike, it's a low compression design and extremely linear and not what you'd call a power house. The bike it's from is a commuter bike made for economical transportation and not competitive racing, a 250cc 4stroke from a MotoX bike would absolutely destroy this 500cc commuter engine. The builder chose it for his own reasons, probably reliability, cost, and its linear torquey power curve is my guess.

To reduce weight, I decided to use a stainless steel pipe with a 2mm wall, in a place where there was no sprocket axis, I decided to stiffen the rear axle with an additional bearing, in the place where there is a sprocket and disc, the axle is stiffened by hubs that fasten the sprocket and brake disc. As for the performance, it was a test on YT, so I specially dismantled the meter and did not show the maximum capabilities, I can only say that the weight of the whole turned out to be such that I can easily lift the whole vehicle and load it on the van, and in the first three gears i have to let go of the gas because the front wheels lose grip. And it's only 60 HP, I've seen many videos on YT where 600cc and even 1000cc were mounted, well over 100hp

@@WorkshopFromScratch thanks for your reply! I like the idea of the tube axle; much less weight and still stiff enough.

It’s just a copy of a standard kart. The dual frame on the right is to mount a sliding engine mount. But yes the 3rd bearing should have been mounted in the centre or closer to the sprocket.

@@WorkshopFromScratchit sounds like it would be a good idea to incorporate an adjustable airfoil on the front of the kart, so that it would hold the nose down at higher speeds
