How To Build a Wood Go Kart Bundle

The Wood Go Kart Book I

As a young boy my aspirations to operate an object that could propel me around was just intoxicating.  I started riding my bike at 5 years old.  Changed my first tire at 6 years old.  Made my first go kart out of wood at age 10.  Made my first motorized wood go kart at 14.  I had that constant thirst for motion, the go kart was the platform.

A wood go kart is very cost effective and can be made in an afternoon.

In these manuals we show three different wood go karts that have been made from basic materials ranging from two by fours, plywood, bolts, rope, angle iron, steel rod, and left over garden tractor tires.

The go karts start out as gravity powered, but can be easily upgraded to gasoline powered.

The Wood Go Kart Book II

For many people a welder and steel tubing is not readily available, but wood is.   These manual show how you can put together a go kart for at least $20 to $50 no problem.

There are two books in this series: The Wood Go Kart and the Gas Engined Wood Go Kart.

In the first book we show you what is involved to make a wood go kart.  This includes frame layout, steering layout, brake setup and seat layout, along with other miscellaneous information.

The second book shows how to set up the drive system so that a gas engine can be mounted to the go kart.  This includes engine layout, pulley sizes, belt tensioner system, throttle linkage.

The go kart drive systems book helps you figure out what is the best combination of pulleys and sprockets for your go kart design.  This is crucial, especially if rough terrain or rugged use is being expected out of this go kart design.

The drive system book is a must have if you want the go kart to actually move and not stall and sputter.  Understanding drive layouts and how to maximize the design is what this book is about.

The vertical engine drive systems book cracks the unknowns in using a the illusive vertical engine on a go kart.  This book shows you how to set up a vertical engine so that you do not have to do any crazy putting the eninge on its side, adding internal dippers to your connecting rods, make your own carberator mounts…this list goes on.

This book puts away all that nonsense, and shows you the straight forward concept for driving a go kart with a vertical engine.  Instead of scrounging around for a horizontal engine, or paying a ton of money for a new engine, you can use the riding lawn mower engine you have been eyeing for the past couple of years.
