after a couple of years of people fighting /arguing over the cyclkarts = finally people are realizing it's a common man phenomina motor sport that the every day man / family man can be involved in ??? awesome
That is the idea
hi steve [ i'm not a social media guy ] sorry if you have been asked a 1000 times can i contact you some way to get a price on a kit quote basic bit's n pieces excluding frame n motor and have honda postie bike wheels ct90 thanks dude and appreciate the reply
hi again steve i probably did not say the last reply correctly ? i see a oppertunitey for there to be a steve vinson kit to be supplied to the world ?? if you had time or could be bothered [most people do not know the specifics and would pay a extra few hundred for it all at once ] + standard $500 to australia if you split the front and back end kit into two purchases $1000 or $2000 bucks +??? you live and breathe the dimensions and whats right n wrong and thats no crime to make a buck from ??? try putting a base kit on ebay with all the best stuff you know that fit's and is compatible and i would buy it [cheers steve don't lose the faith in cyclekart utopia ] i have wanted a cycle car since a visit to york motor musuem at a school outing as a kid and now 50 years old
It doesn’t need to have any interference from motor sport organisations or regulatory bodies other than what exists at the present time.
Super helpful! That one cyclekart video went viral and now everyone wants to build one. This is a great rundown of your updated parts list, I've found all your videos hugely informative and gives me the confidence to build at least the frame, and start experimenting on building the body.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the parts roundup Steve. I ordered front and rear axle kit, steering, springs from Renegade a week ago. New CT90 wheels, tires, tubes, rear shocks, yes, and torque converter have mostly arrived. Rear brake to purchase yet. 1x3x.065x20' rectangular tube 80ish bucks a stick here in Montana. We're at 2000.00 bucks so far. Have a new 212 Predator sitting on the shelf and 4x10 sheets of aluminum as I work with it anyway. Appears to be a 3000.00 project, although I think a person could save 500.00 to 1000.00 building their own axles and using used rims and tires but quality could suffer.
I think that is possible. Yes you can save a bit of cash here and there. It depends how many items you can make yourself. Thanks for watching.
Steve, great video and thank you for posting. It gives me a much better idea of the cost and sources for the parts needed to build a kart.
Glad it helped
Great video Steve! This saves a lot of research time and I really appreciate the cost breakdown!
Glad it was helpful!
Great Info Steve. I am wanting to build a cyclekart, and the parts list breakdown is extremely handy. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks great info, I like the front spindle & bearing combo your using. Seems far better than other methods on the front I've seen. I will definitely be using this for my build. 👍
Glad it helped
Thank you again Steve, for showing our parts. Guess I better send you some rear hubs to do a video on next.
Yes please!
This was really useful!! Thank you very much for putting this together and all the details.
Glad it was helpful!
This is really cool. I have not heard of this before. I really like the pre-war designs.
Thanks, we have a lot of fun with these stupid little machines
Thanks Steve. Very helpful.
Glad to help
also add to the parts list provided by you that i popped online and the kit price [cyclekart builder] was starting at $9000 US dollars basic and $14000 top range = so thanks again steve for the extra effort in parts and obtainability through suppliers and hope people are respectful when contacting you !!! also to add the cycle kart history is starting so i hope to see a collection on youtube one day [ the godfather and steve vinson car's may hold elvis presley value and status ] all the best from brad western australia
Thanks for watching
A little behind the curve but I’m catching up thanks for the videos wish I had seen this during COVID I’d be driving now
I build the Duesenberg in the first months of Covid, perfect timing
STEVE, CAN YOU SHOW A VIDEO THAT EXPLAIN HOW TO SET UP THE FRONT SUSPENSION, AND FRONT WHEELS ALIGN.
Every time I watch a video on 'CycleKarts', the thought goes through my head.."I need a bigger workspace/workshop", I guess we all have our daydreams/nightmares, LOL!
I built all my karts in the area of a one car garage. Some guys have been know to build on a carport or even a garden shed. Its fun
Very impressive!
Thanks Aunt Sharon.
Thanks for this!
Sure thing!
Great info
Glad it was helpful!
I love your show
Very kind, thank you.
@@stevevinson6030 very nice parts rundown
Well, I was all in and had friends interested as well. Looks like we are OUT until repro wheels are available again. Just called a local moto scrap yard and they say they get $125-200 per 17" wheel spouting the perceived value of the CT bikes. I just can't play that game. I have a C70 and my friend has many of them but we are not destroying complete machines just to get wheels. The Chinese MX wheels don't look worth the chance to me. I'd buy new VCK wheels if available but... Looks like I'll check in on the hobby later. Keep building and racing!
If you here in the USA, you can order brand new wheels from andrew@in-groundtrampolines.com
Andrew has them in stock and ready to ship. He is located in Phoenix and is a friend of mine. Send him and email and get it set up.
@@stevevinson6030 Thanks for the tip! Email sent!
Great, helpful video, Steve. Where did you say you get your parts?
Several places. Renegade Cyclekarts, MFG Supply, NR Racing and a few others. All the vendors are on the downloadable PDF
I just found your channel and after watching a few videos, I'm thinking of building something like this just for kicks (plywood body and all).
My question is on the back end, would the official competitive rules allow somebody to use an axle pulled from a go-kart and retrofitted to use 17 in. spoke rims from a dirt bike? Or does the axle have to be a specific diameter and Honda rims? Could I use a modified rack, pinion and spindle system from a Go-kart for the steering as well?
Hope to hear back soon, and awesome video!
Yes, all that is fine. The most important thing is to keep your inspiration car in mind when making these choices. The Rack and Pinion will likely be hidden by the body, but the spindles and other parts that are visible, we hope that these look period correct, as much as possible. I have seen some guys chop the front suspension off of a golf kart or an ATV, it just doesn't look quite right. We encourage creativity and reusing old stuff when it makes sense
Nice presentation. But I have a question. Supposedly the 'track' of a cyclekart is 38". The definition of 'track' is center of tire to center of tire, but in some comments I've seen, people interpret that as the overall width (outside of tire to outside of tire). So what is it? Overall width, or center-to-center?
The authors of the guidelines are using 39" at the outside of the tire. Not the center of the tire. If using a standard width 36" rear axle, 39" is where your tires will be exactly.
The square piece is a "key" and is made from "key stock"; the groove it goes into is the "keyway".
Thanks, I misspeak all the time, my son says I am aging badly. LOL!
@@stevevinson6030LOL
This is a common mistake. I have mechanic and machinist friends who call it a keyway instead of a key. It is an issue when you try to buy a "keyway". lol
How much do these things weigh? I'm a heavy guy and am worried that my weight would be to much for those leaf springs
Most karts are between 250 and 280 pounds, some are heavier. Lots of big guys have built CycleKarts. I added helper springs to mine to stiffen the front, but really most of the weight is on the rear axle, the front axle doesn't carry much load.
Never been clear to me. Do I need 4 front CT90 wheels or 4 rears or???
2 fronts and 2 rears are best. I have seen 4 fronts used all around with some modifications.
I'm looking for wheels and tires like the ones shown.
You can find used ones, but if you want new wheels, send an email to andrew@in-groundtrampolines.com He has brand new wheels for sale here in Phoenix.
Amazon parts list link isn't working for me (on mobile anyway...)
Thanks, I think I fixed it. Cheers
I want to take a old Honda goldwing shaft drive model and put as much of th bike in car build as I can, use a old 30s Ford banjo rear end shortened down
I like turtles.
Cool idea for a Cycle Car
Can I use a Huyabusa engine?
Funny, not if you want to call it a CycleKart. That motor would be a CycleCar
Do you build the body yourself?
Yes. It is a process to learn new skills. That is part of what makes this hobby so interesting.
How hard would it be to make one of these street legal
I live in a large city, and would be terrified to share the road with real cars. But if you live someplace a bit more tame, probably the same rules apply to a car. Lights, horn, turn signals a wind screen? Really determined by your local rules. thanks for watching.
Where do we download the list?
It is in the FILES tab on the Facebook pages for CycleKarts North America.
A shortage of 90 Honda wheels as these bikes are becoming in demand as a classic collectors item. What other rims are acceptable for a cycle kart?
Pretty much any 17" x1.4" or 1.6" motorcycle wheel will work. New wheels are still made in Thailand and you may be able to find them on Ebay
Hi can I buy a frame plan. Can you send to uk. Plz thanks clive

has anyone rolled one and where
they....hospitalised
Yes, not me.
Is anyone building these commercially or E- building
Renegade CycleKart makes parts for our hobby, but no, this is a build it yourself sort of deal.
I dont have the hole in my Honda wheels
Sorry, I am not sure what hole you are referring too.
I will make my own with no engine, similar driving as a bike, 4 wheels and 5 seats, steering wheel like a car, 23 gears, top speed: 269 km/h, hill pedal on top of steering wheel, brakes when steering wheel Schintu logo pushed. Name: Schintu Tipo 1
Sure, why not.
how much does it cost?
Less than $2500
Hi. Can I buy from you your. Plan to build. My chassis
Thank you. Clive. Uk
www.etsy.com/listing/1483881216/cyclekart-frame-plan-full-scale-digital
I mean the whole vehicle
Typically you should spend less than $2500 for materials and parts.
The problem I see with these machines is the wheels. Motorcycle wheels are not designed for side loading. This makes them prone to failure when sliding, drifting or off road when used on a car (motorcycles lean into corners eliminating side loading). Lawn mowers are better for racing. Cycle carts are just plain fun, but not for any kind of excitement when racing.
Exactly what we tell folks. We aren't really racing. We have learned through experience that these are just for fun.
Why not just buy racing kart parts. U used to race one. I don’t understand. I could get all those parts and axel bearing carriers. Why is so expensive. I thought u guys just made these lil carts. U buy all the parts. U can’t even make a steering shaft urself. Buy the axels and bearings build the rest. Would be fun. Make some stuff more fun way cheaper
Of coarse you can make your own parts. Many guys don't want to or don't have the tools or skills to make some parts that are readily available. Also, not every build needs every part on the list. Thanks for watching.
@@stevevinson6030 I get that. A lot of times. I see these guys waiting for parts rite. They got tubing rite behind them next shot a welder. They always have good tools. Better than mine. Just saying build so stuff. I plan to build one. I thought they were all made custom.
