And it doubles as a leaf rake! This is so awesome. those plastic wheels are going to understeer like crazy!

Here is a 50cc motorcycle and side car that I built out of gas pipe and pieces I had laying around. conveniently fit 2 passengers and did 45mph with just me. I rode 2 miles to school everyday on this beast my freshman year!

Man, if I tried to drive that down my road, I'd probably end up in jail or smthn. They'd definitely impound it.

A few of my buddies are drifting go karts with PVC on the tires.

Got videos?

^^ What homeboy said about the front axle/steering. Should work plenty fine with a little tweaking.

I think I need to get a shopping cart with an engine and PVC tires so I can show them what's up.

Thank you for the heroic idea.

Man, the strip down of that donor cart was some seriously intensive work! I wouldn't have the patience for all that!

I love the seat! Looks great and I like the simplicity of it.

But in all seriousness. I wouldn't consider it square one. From the pictures it looks like all you need to do is find the same diameter main pipe and the same diameter smaller pipe that intersect the main pipe. Cut a longer piece of main pipe and drill two holes to fit the smaller pipe cut to proper length. Then make your own adjustable threaded "tie rods". And throw the doner cart wheels and hubs on your new setup. (I hope this makes sense reading it) And if you don't have a welder I'm sure a muffler shop would be willing to weld them up for you for a couple of bucks.

Your garage floor looks like a RC drift track. So you should know the power potential of brushless setups and their compactness. An electric slammed shopping cart! That chain looks like the perfect length to be on the side of the cart. IJS

The front steering is to narrow for the shopping cart so i am back to square one.
