Building an Off-road Go-Kart

During the summer I built my son an off-road go-kart using an old ride-on lawn mower. These pages outline the step-by-step process I used to go

from this...

...to this.

I have included plenty of photographs and the plans for you to use.

I managed to get hold this ride-on lawn mower (for only €75.00) which included the following components:

• 10HP Engine - with electric starter
• Wheels (front and rear)
• Gearbox, rear axle and brake
• Front steering and steering wheel
• Fuel tank
• Seat

Rear Wheels

Front Wheels

10HP Engine

The steel for building the frame was sourced from a local engineering firm who supplied me with enough assorted off-cuts for only €20.00.
