Video

Looks like you all had fun.

And that is Mark P in the Blitzen Benz for that heat

OUTSTANDING! Cyclekart Video of 2024 right here!!

Can we not find rims from japan? Seems like rims are like looking for a needle in a haystack! Impossible

So I'm currently in the works of building a two seater Cycle-cart esk type machine for my boys. What honda are those wheels off of? I really love the thought of starting a group like this here in Oregon.

Pretty cool Steve. Curious what is the overall cost for all the materials?

Love that front end setup, very creative 👍🏻

Well done Derrick

so cool, a little on the steam punk side. i love the wood grain paint job on the frame rail. being a painter my self .

Wise words

This entire video is just 9 minutes of hand signals, so if you're looking to see what the thumbnail suggests -- a CycleKart kit being built -- you're going to be very disappointed.

Would love to see how its does on 1" .95 wall or even .120 wall DOM or mild steel...

What is the reason for choosing a live axle verses a Differential axle?

Nice

Went this past weekend (May 2024) to Huntsville. Had a blast watching the karts hit the turns.

Outstanding ,Thanks for sharing!

Great job on the hood and thank you for showing us how you did it.

Really appreciate your demonstration of the English wheel, looks like a lot of fun

Looks great. What gauge/thickness aluminum? Fun watching this come together.

Good instructive video. Thanks Steve.

every time i watch this my first thought is THIS IS SOME WILD SH--T Yea they are going plenty fast.

Amazon parts list link isn't working for me (on mobile anyway...)

Never mind the taping threads in the top of the block, I use red or green locktite and drive the org. Pin back into the block until you can just feel it start to come through the inside, cut off anything above above

What in the 1920’s is this? And where do we sign up?

Is it allowed to rock back and forth in the seat, to make it go faster?

Can you make some CycleKart with shock absorbers from quad? you know.

why no one makes Cyclekart with shock absorbers?

You make it look easy Steve, and it's turning out great!

Hey Steve . Another great tutorial video, thanks Your cyclekart is looking great

Steve if you take wide sharpe and cover area you want to work, stretch, shrink then take your torch or butane torch and heat up sharpe color off you will have annealed the aluminum making it very pliable

nice work i really really love this channel and what are making cuz this is my dream making one of these

Hey Steve, good stuff! Someday you may want to experiment with aluminum “brazing”. Very easy to learn with map gas and a SS wire brush. The rod is very inexpensive. It’s a great alternative to pop rivets in some cases.

Great job on the kart and thank you for metal working lessons.

Hi Steve, another great video. I can offer a snippet of help with your annealing! Always have a box of matches in the workshop, using your torch heat the aluminium until the match stick leaves a thick black greasy line on the area you are annealing then leave to cool naturally. You will definitely notice the difference! Mike in the UK.

I always learn something useful when I watch your videos. Thanks Steve.

All u insects do is yammer im not yere yo listen to u babble

Thanks Rainn Wilson! 🫶

I'd like to hear what you're saying but all I could concentrate on was why is your dryer running through the whole video.

If the hubs are a bit too big put them on a vertical drill and grind a bit off.

I don't know if i can "teHehe" for 24hr, but I'm willing to give it a go!

Hi Steve would you be able to provide the numbers on the tyres please. Having an awful time finding suitable tyres to go on the rims in little old NZ. Good idea about painting looking at doing the hubs and rims the colour of the car and just having the spokes painted brown.

Steve could you provide a link on the wheels please

Thank you!!!!!! God bless!!!!

Steve I totally dig this cart with swing arms, good stuff! Had to chuckle when you said “hard to weld upside down”. I’ve seen talented pipe welders weld upside down using a mirror,Mya not me either I struggle to TIG flat. Keep up the great videos, you’re an inspiration.

Kart is coming right along. Getting things done on mine in little tiny baby steps.

Looks really good. The design is very clean and well done.

Hi Steve another great video, I am still only in planning stage but i came up with a problem the seat. it might pay for you to mock up the seat on the frame and its position. I use freecad as design and planning tool for projects, and it can produce 3D reps. I was planning a 1911 Scat car uk and found the seat height (back) in images was level with the engine cowling. I found i had to develop a low floor pan of about 300mm below the top of the frame to make sitting comfortable otherwise sitting with knees up around your ears is never fun. its unfortunate that I can't attach an image to the comment. I hope this doesn't cause you to many headaches. I am also investigating engine in front with a drive shaft along inner frame edge and that is a headache. Warwick nz

Hi Steve, I'm wondering if this set-up might cause engine running problems. With the engine attached to the suspension, it will be bouncing along with each deflection of the rear axle. Would this make the fuel in the carburetor, and engine oil jump around ? I can only imagine how much shock the carburetor float will be subject to along with the engine oil being tossed around inside the crankcase. The only way this set-up might hold up is if you were running a two stroke engine like that is used in a chain saw. I would think a drive shaft or extended chain drive with an appropriate tensioner to allow the engine to be attached to the chassis while allowing the axle to flex as needed. Also having the engine attached to the suspension will increase the suspension weight making it less responsive to deflections of the ground. These are just a few things that I see with you design, but I am probably wrong with my assumptions.

So Steve, what happens if your right rear wheel hits a bump and compresses the leaf spring on that side, won’t that place a twisting motion on your trailing arms ? In other words, your rear axle and trailing arms are a solid assembly that only moves up and down together, so if one rear wheel hits a bump it’ll impart a twisting motion to the assembly, which I think may cause something to bend or break. I’m thinking maybe have your trailing arms mount to the rear axle assembly the same way they mount to the frame up front, that way your rear axle can twist side to side without straining anything. I’m really impressed with the design and how the motor mounts to the rear axle. 👌

That looks amazing!
