Hello Everyone
I am starting this thread to try and gauge the interest in the supply of basic components to get some of you going with building a CycleKart. We understand that for some of you (myself included) find starting from a blank piece of paper slow going. Also, the space and tools required can also be a problem.
There are lots of things to take into consideration and I am hoping that over the coming months we will make some good progress with the overall guidelines for builders now the official Club and committee has been formed. Some of these factors for discussion will include producing Cycklekarts that are closer to the the 'stevenson' concept and other categories.
For now though as I write this we are on our way to 300 users of the forum and I would like to find out the interest in the following:
1. The production and sale of a basic ladder style chassis
2. Hubs, Axles and wheels
3. Engines and upgrade kits
4. A full rolling Chassis5. Workshop boot camp days (this is very much an idea at this stage)The problem to date has been the numbers - if 10 people would commit to having a chassis produced then the possibilities of getting the unit costs down become much better.
Please note: We are trying to encourage people into this hobby and therefore if the above doesn't apply to you then no worries but all positive comments and suggestions welcome at this stage. Also if people know of reliable companies that could be added to a list for services that is also appreciated as we are spread all over the UK so it may help someone near you
Thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Andy
