CycleKarts

[Vedette]

I know there is a whole separate "Forum" for CycleKarts.
BUT......I just wanted to find out if there are other "Teardrop Campers" that have caught the CycleKart bug like I have, or are interested in
CycleKart Racing?
There is a big event coming up June 23 to 25th in Tieton Wa.
Anyone coming?

Last year there were 4 Teardrops there!

now you did it!! I can now foresee a teardrop 'cyclekart' tow trailer in the future! open up the rear tailgate(teardrop kitchen door) and drive the cyclekart inside - a duel purpose trailer.

Hi Ted
Just got off the phone with Loren & Claudia.
She is doing Great!
About 4 weeks ahead of recovery schedule.
Walking without a cane already.
Says she will be ready for the Fall Crawl.

that sounds great!! I have an extra walker/chair now that she could have for the Farm if they were to make it to the Farm Gathering. I re-did the "Binford" D.O. Transport Walker with a different one and now have a extra one which I un-did back to it's original propose - a disabled walker/roller sit down chair. It is "rated" for a 270 lb sit down. It's complete with it's braking system now. Ted

Hey Ted
All you need is a sprocket and a HF Predator 212 and you could have that walker race ready in no time flat????

I keep threatening to build a cyclecart, but Lori demands I make two.

[gudmund]

the "predator" engine on the walker? it might work - trouble is, it would be so light you could probably out run all of the cyclekarts -- could use it as the "pace" car instead of the police car!!! that's an idea!!! (might be just a bit tippy in the corners - but drag racing?? YES!!--until it is time to turn right or left in the shut down area. )

[gudmund]

Greg M. - build two of them!! you have room in the back of the truck for one and just re-do the inside of the trailer for the other - the "duel purpose trailer" I spoke off (which it already is, is it not? for bicycles? if I remember right....?)

I've been following the CycleKart thing for about a year now...another hobby I don't have time for.

I'd love to put together one loosely based on a Model T pickup, just to tool around our gravel roads out here in the country.

I just spoke with a friend in Wa. last night who is just finishing his Roadster PU CycleKart, and there is on in Arizona too.
There was also A Model T version at Tieton the last two years.
Have at it!

Sandi is not very keen on "CycleKarts" to say the least

What? After all the years of big cars, she thinks it's a step down?

[gudmund]

Brian, her mind may change once she gets to drive it!

We built one a few years ago. Here's an in-progress pic with the Missus behind the wheel.

The crew up in Tieton build some great karts. Not too hard to build, good fun! Mine will do 43 mph with a lightly modified predator 212.
