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
Cheers, Jim. I'm going to be posting more Vulture videos soon. Of the road test and of various activities this summer. I think it's great that you've been following my build. I hope it inspires lots of people to experiment and think outside the box on Cyclekart. I know I'll be following yours as well. Have you considered participating in the Cyclekart Scavenger Hunt? I'm running it again this year. Details should be coming out at the beginning of May.
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.
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 😅
I think electric anything is super. I'm not a big fan of electric passenger cars but not because they're electric. Just because of all the government nonsense around them. You can turn up at Elmhirst in whatever you want! Our "rules" are very loose. At worst, you won't be included in the results. But you can still run (probably). In any case, shoot me an email before you come out. A few weeks before! There are a couple of electric CKs out there. Apparently, they're under-powered. And that's not a bad thing necessarily. But I feel like the weight of the battery and the motor together would be something approaching the weight of a GX200, and you'd have to have some kind of removable battery swap out system. I was working on something like that for the Vulture (see my upcoming video premiering Wednesday) but I abandonned it. it was going to be a hybrid electric system. Pretty complicated tho.
@@andrewroudny I haven't built anything yet, but I would be aiming for the same weight and power as everyone else, solid axle and all that. I do plan on getting down to Elmhirst as a spectator this year, though

I've got more videos like this coming out soon. Lots of shop hangout time and hopefully lots of seat time too!

I like the idea of electric CKs, it should be easier to find more locations to race if the karts are nearly silent.

@@ThalassTKynn that's great. Are you on the mailing list yet?
@@andrewroudny haha I thought I was, but it turns out it was in drafts for some reason. Sent it now.
