I thought it was about time I wrote something about my new cyclekart. I started building this just before Christmas, and now after just over a month he is nearing completion.
I built "Jane", my first cyclekart in 2022. This was built in 3 months, but there were delays waiting for parts from China and the USA. So the first lesson I learnt was to get your parts before you start building! Consequently, I had been collecting parts for over 6 months.
Another lesson from the first cyclekart was to source a lot of the parts from a used go-kart. I managed to locate an old pro-drive kart minus its engines at a very good price. The owner was a bit perturbed when I asked if he had a power socket I could plug my extension lead into, and then proceeded to cut the kart in half with my angle grinder so it could be loaded into my small hatchback
Anyhow, I will start off the story with the reasonings behind GNasher and the inspiration car (see attachment).
