Designed and built the frame from looking at gokarts online. Tried to make a father son project but a 5/6 year old attention span is very, very limited! It goes 20 plus mph and he can already do a 180 power slide. His mother said she will not forgive me unless he grows up to be a famous racer.

Thanks to MDA owner of the orange Tigger electric gokart! I saw yours and had to give it a go. I used TNC scooters, Monters Scooter Parts, Go Kart Galaxy, Karts and Parts, and BMI karts for all my off the shelf parts.
