As the last purchaser has let me know he now won't be buying its back up for sale.
I am now asking £500 for the lot including a brand new 212cc electric start engine and Vevor CVT ( Drive )
Some odds and ends are missing from the pictures, I have two more wheels one more rear hub and some random bits I will throw in.
I feel with the body and new engine its a good price
The sharp eyed amongst us will notice it has and extra set of front axel things for steering and an extra steering wheel, I was going to make a GN hence the big headlight
The Body is approx 8ft long by 2 ft wide and an adult will fit in it.
Its in storage just off junction 26 of the M6

For sale and wanted / Cyclekart in kit form!

After much thought and thinning down my projects as we are moving house soon, I have decided not to continue with my cycle kart, well its a collection of bits I have yet to start, I originally wanted a GN but when I found the Zeppelin style wooden side car body in good condition it changed the plan!
I have the following
5 Genuine honda 90 wheels some with tyres
A complete DRP Go kart minus the frame, engine and Go kart wheels, so steering, brakes pedals hubs, sprockets, bearings steering wheel etc
A Drop tank style body to make in to a single seater
No doubt some other bits I have failed to mention
£400 Collected Junction 26 of the M6 as its in storage
You would need a chassis and engine / Transmission
I have offered it on the local WhatsApp group but as yet no reply to confirm wanting it, but if no reply by the end of today its open to anyone.

212 cc limit on karts no gearboxes either. Nice idea but I’m not sure it will be allowed. Ask the committee.

Regards Nick
Thanks for the reminder but that won't matter to me as I just want to build it and possibly attend the odd show not race it.
I want an early car but as I cant afford or justify the expense I might as well try to build one.

Not sure what you would do with the engine and box but the body is not far off a fair representation of a 1920 Monroe, here is a Gitreville build of one...

Thanks thats a great start. The engine and Box will just about fit in the back end behind the driver but its early days yet. I have two motorbikes to finish then I will be selling a few projects I am never going to get around to and this should free me and the space up for the Cycle kart
Here's the engine and box we have.

I was all set to build a GN replica, but My son is having a good clear out and found me a collection of bits Including a JAP 300cc engine, Albion 3 speed gearbox and we found this body on Market place.
Any ideas welcome

Does any one have a nut and bolt list for what's required?

I contacted my local race circuit but they haven’t come back to me. Upon closer inspection today,the build is extremely poor. What I thought was stiff front suspension turned out to be such poor build quality that a cold chisel and club hammer were needed to separate the front wishbones from the home made hub carrier after the pivot bolt was removed. Even the steering column that I wanted is made up of welded sections that were welded by someone with their eyes shut! The 250cc Yamaha engine has a hole in the bottom of the gearbox and the casing has been butchered to accomodate the remote gearchange. I think the whole thing is just scrap- glad it was free!
If It makes you feel better I paid £100 for a tidy non running cart fitted with a Turkish Motor Bike engine yes I didn't even know Turkey had a motor bike manufacturer.
The Axel was the wrong size and the sprocket carriers are cracked, but I did manage to sell the engine for £60! and I can use the front stub axels but I doubt I can use much else we just have to see it as part of learning!
