CycleKarts
 

This is a fantastic little hobby that I'm sure will interest all in this forum (it certainly has my tiller in a tizzy). They are primarily pedal or small piston powered cars that use bicycle wheels/brakes etc. on a scale vehicle for racing. There is limitless potential for drivetrains/bodies/number of wheels/wheel orientation/yaddayaddayadda. Google this and get back to me.

Looks like fun!

That does look like a load of fun! If I didn't have but 24 hours in a day . . .

An Ebike recumbent could make 800 mpgE at 40 mph.

My wife will hate you for turning me onto that hobby.

Check your state or provincial DMV laws as some of the powered velomobiles may be street legal. Ladies like them too especially if there are side by side seats.

Interesting....

I saw one of these tooling around the Good Guys show this summer. It was pretty cool and got a lot of attention, but I didn't really know what it was.

Thanks.

Maybe I'll try an antique motorcycle pre WWI.

Where does NY stand on ebikes?

State of NY is cool with ebikes. NYC was not, but that may have changed.
-Best way to increase the odds your cyclekart being street legal, is to build it as a three wheeler, similar to a Morgan. Then it is a motorcycle.
