Right on the line !!!!

I love that Baby Beast of Turin.

Fabulous! If that doesn't move your stuff your stuff ain't working...

You are looking for an "outrunner"... hub motor

Bring it on

Great piece, well done.

Nice haircut Nik!

Good to see you having fun

Fangio!

Thanks Andrew to spread the Cyclekart in Canada, keep up your great work;) great video

Seems a bit Rube Goldberg. Especially for a go-kart.

Andrew, is there a schedule of upcoming races.

Every single person who comes back from their first ride in a CycleKart has this amazing smile.

I've never had success putting a pin back in. Have you had any issues with the reused pin in the half link? The other issue, the tails on your cotter pin, and master should always be behind the direction of travel. So if anything hits the pin, or master it drives it farther on, instead of knocking it off.

It's a good idea because you can potentially use an motors or control methods that would be superior if it weren't for the standing torque demand. The motor can now spin fast enough so that an ac inductance rotor is strong enough to produce peak torque, and is also bringing a flywheel mass to high rpm, so when it engages, the motor is at it's optimal torque backed by the force of a flywheel at several thousand rpm. You could also use it to coast better with a geared motor, so if all of the reduction is done before the clutch, which is effectively a freewheel, then you won't suffer the coasting drag of a short sprocket ratio, let alone the gears. That could be ultimately more efficient what with how poorly regenerative braking is typically implemented, but that would mean the gears are taking impact torque. And same thing as the motor itself, if it's not rated for such torsional shock.

I'll try again after it's edited. Too hard to watch.

#35 chain is 3.5 8ths pin to pin, #40 is 4 8ths or 1/2"

Have fun guys. Looking forward to next time!!

Also, by using found materials, you discover interesting design solutions that you may not have encountered otherwise

Your determination to build a Cyclekart out of found materials is a true inspiration to newbies like myself

"promosm"

Wonderfull

Ibeams 😂😂😂, built stronger then any car I know.

bad idea

just add 1 electric motor tp power the whole thing Andrewq!

looks like a nightmare. dangerous!

How tight should the torque converter belt be , between the pulleys when you don't use the backing plate ?

I believe Princess Auto is more like Tractor Supply in the US. Harbor Freight sells tools and very few if any automotive parts.

Fellow cyclekarter from Seattle here. That is a very complicated suspension set up you got there for sure. Are you running front suspension to?

A chainbreaker is a great tool to have. I've got one for my bike stuff that has paid for itself haha

Wow two angle split screen! Awesome. Yeah NZ ers can be very opinionated. You are doing really well good explanation on ratios. Keep up the vids. Warwick NZ no it's not I.

Its DEFINITELY Lewis Hamilton...

You are fighting with chain because the bolts should be turned around on the torque convertor, in my opinion..... bolt head inside and nut and thread on the outside, unless there is some reason you had to mount them backwards. I don't know for sure what the situation is there. If it helps I am glad I added this comment, if not, sorry. I am not a pro to this thing, as I just am getting started to build a cycle kart myself. I hope this helps.

Very cool! Congratulations on passing one thousand subscribers!

Thanks for filming this Andrew, I have followed this build on the forum for a long time, I have to say, for me, this is one of my favorite cyclekarts. Not only does it look great, but it is inventive and creative mechanically, and it morphs with your new ideas. It might not be a show pony, but it sure is the spirit of cyclekarting. A fellow after my own heart

Your ratio explanation was very good. I guess its a gearbox of sorts i can see the next step is designing a selector operated from the cockpit. I wondered instead of the rubber mount under the engine maybe a bit rigid and be better off with some valve springs 2 maybe in case one breaks. Also would spread load of engine. Just a thought Warwick

What's your opinion on electric cyclekarts? Not from an environmental perspective, because a few dozen cyclekarts isn't going to make a difference one way or another, but from a fun so race and fun to race against point of view. Electric is much more my thing, but I wouldn't want to rock up to Elmhirst and be chased away 😅

Thanks for letting me hangout with you this afternoon. DIY and unique design is sole .of Cyclekarting,, no apologies necessary for tying something new. Rear suspension, arm front, mid-engine.

Aren't you ever going to finish restoring the 1929 MG??!!

Very nice! I'm curious if you got larger frets put on your Yamaha at some point in the past, or did it come that way?

actual ladder frame chassis

Complex! Clever, too. Good luck with it. I'm a bit worried about the total transmission efficiency (engine-to-wheels, via multiple belts and chains and bearing) but what the heck, why not?

Great Vidoe. Thanks for sharing!

Having the option to quick-change gearing for a specific racecourse will be a great option. Granny low gearing for hill climbs and tractor pull competition... priceless!

This was great. Thanks for sharing it. I loved the Lemans start.

Frightening!

So the frame rails are fiberglass?

Cool.
