It was my 7th grade prized possession. I found a 1962 GK800 vintage go-kart on Craigslist. The plan was to restore it with 2 chainsaw engines. This was an unrealistic goal, as I at the time was not capable of doing a restoration, nor did I have the funds to get vintage engines. Instead I adapted some old electric scooter parts onto the back. With that, I had myself a very simple 20 mile an hour machine. This was only the introduction, and it got me acquainted with basic knowledge about electronics and gear ratios, but it was a very good start. https://www.peterlmartin.com/projects/theboardtracker monthly 0.5 2021-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1611374368474-A24IOE7PTI89I0WGFNVQ/IMG_1919.jpg Projects -

The Mini Bike As can be seen, the whole layout is drawn, using radius’ from my tube bending dies, instead of the original reference picture. This will better allow for part fitment later and makes this original sketch a more reliable reference material. Dots can be seen to the right of the frame sketch, indicating the points where the axles will go, furthermore dictating the angle of the head tube relative to the ground. It is recommended for motorcycles to use around 67 degrees from the horizontal, but due to a more pit bike type handling goal, I went with around 70 degrees for a more responsive feel. The contact patch (where the tire meets the ground) should be behind where the center line concentric and through the head tube crosses the ground, this was made sure of in the preliminary design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1615413144922-SMHGPGD6U0VUORTL33T8/IMG_4932.jpg Projects - The Mini Bike So there’s quite a bit that happened since I was kneeling on the ground with a sharpie drawing this. I began with bending some 7/8’’ steel tube to make the mirrored side portions of the frame. Two bends can be seen, welded at the middle (blue spot by the wood). I chose to construct these each out of two tubes in order to ensure that the rear bends were parallel to each other, and the front bends actually met at the same place. To be able to plan this an accurately execute this on my bender would be incredibly difficult, and even then, there would likely still be alignment problems. With this method, I had all the flexibility to match up the important weld joints. The continuous ovular hoop was bent from some 5/8’’ tube. I am mixing and matching my tubing diameters like this to achieve a desirable frame width. If I had used 7/8’’ tubing, the radius of the bend would have made the seat unusually wide and given weird geometry. The seat hoop isn’t under much stress compared to the rest of the frame. At the very front, you can see the about to be tacked head tube. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1615350164947-EMN62HTCE68URDT46VLW/62950650896__7D2770ED-A3EA-4E5B-9A64-4F55DE3E1AFE.jpg Projects - The Mini Bike The plan was to reference this image of a 1960’s or 70’s Fox Minibike that had all the fancy bells and whistles that I wanted in my very own machine. The purpose for using this specific image was because it was the best side profile I could get. I printed it out as big as I could on an 8.5x11 sheet, and got to work scaling it around the tires, which in my case had to be 15’’ due to picking a standard pit bike wheel and tire combination. The angles were difficult to measure on such a small scale, and were thus finalized on a big 1:1 scale sheet of butcher paper. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1615414996589-ER9JDZ8P9LETJK47J8AZ/IMG_5012.jpg Projects - The Mini Bike https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1615416312975-G22WLJFHCYUEMHZMJV0H/IMG_5099.jpg Projects - The Mini Bike https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1615414741730-OTAK9D27F1NGW1UIV43J/IMG_4969.jpg Projects - The Mini Bike https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1615414837406-PU4RSJ3K8KU7M3EHN21E/IMG_5787.jpg Projects - The Mini Bike https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1615418201744-D9H1LI3BZP1XZYO348QJ/IMG_5785.jpg Projects - The Mini Bike https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1615418153831-RUO624A2IC49TGY11VGY/IMG_5783.jpg Projects - The Mini Bike https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1615426939801-0YWTQWTTOINHK8USCWYK/6701689_orig.jpg Projects - The Mini Bike https://www.oldsewingear.com/japan-class-15.html https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1615427621207-JVB2NOMEA4IZSDUW6V8G/IMG_5825.jpg Projects - The Mini Bike https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1615428746699-1B9HR55JICTBSCL03CCK/IMG_5832.jpg Projects - The Mini Bike The final seat! Its quite satisfying to see it mounted down, it slopes in and meets closely with the gas tank giving it a very satisfying look. If there was anything to redo on this, it would definitely be the choice of foam, it was not nearly dense enough, and I would most definitely opt for dedicated automotive foam in the future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1615427553969-G75G4HNO1J5D6ZWGHUBI/IMG_5826.jpg Projects - The Mini Bike https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1615428261090-0OXFZXM02B74G2FP02Q3/IMG_5820.jpg Projects - The Mini Bike https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1615429385825-SRCPXOD9EP5MARBHFCMR/IMG_5837.jpg Projects - The Mini Bike Everything was stripped down, gone over with steel wool and acetone before it was given a few thick coats of “Royal Blue”.

It is well padded, has a seat belt, back rest adjustability and forward-backward rails for leg adjustment. Overall this was the best choice, fit the budget, and was easy to incorporate by welding some trapezoidal hoops to bolt the seat to. From here on out, ergonomics and placement around this now important as seat position was key. The client was bout the same height as my sister, and as a result, we would use her as a stand in whenever we decided on placement of steering wheel, pedals etc. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1615762759875-L6YFDL0TZ9M6WDBR55HP/d3c067e5-b839-46e2-a55c-9c35375077f3.jpg Projects - The Produce Delivery Vehicle By default, this chassis would be long, so as to accommodate the area dedicated to cargo. The wheelbase would not be a concern, based on experience from the Desk Kart and other similar projects, this can be easily u-turned in a tight space, or at the very worst, 3-point turn with the use of the built in reverse. Here I am welding the corner fully, and by the need for a step ladder, you can see that the six foot chassis length will make this one of the largest and heaviest vehicles I have had the opportunity to participate building from scratch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1615764429283-042HTPT3CMHQQB1CH3LL/d04c1392-8fa3-417a-b77c-044f8967ac94.jpg Projects - The Produce Delivery Vehicle The two front wheels are attached. You may ask why the front wheels have been spaced out as far as they have. This is in an effort to achieve a slightly wider wheelbase to make up for the unusually greater than normal ride height. The reason we have to be so high in the first place is due to the curb-driveway-ramps in our town. The curb is not square, it is a continuous smooth but steep curb, and this is what cars drive up to get into the driveway. It is important that this vehicle is capable of approaching the curb at any angle, and at such a long wheelbase, a tall ride height is needed. Javid and I agreed that unlike the Desk Kart, there are no heavy lead acid batteries to artificially lower the CG of the whole vehicle. The solution is larger track width. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1615768179245-ME8BOK3BKWU9RJVOS48H/dceabb77-386b-4e24-8fb6-60247836267b.jpg Projects - The Produce Delivery Vehicle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1615770296370-229R8U4V4Y7SAUY3XMRL/fd6c9e3b-d8ce-41f6-8c1f-5cf3c90a9ceb.jpg Projects -

The Jeep The biggest concern that is most certainly warranted is the lack of seat belts. The car never came with them from the factory and is therefore exempt from legally requiring them. A second great concern is the lack of a roll cage, and a canvas top for sun protection. These will be added when time permits, as currently I am still in college and the car is back in California. Hopefully between the school year ending and co-ops I can add the protective measures this Jeep needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1614670811576-GOWQTZWRP5PL1IRUP8TN/IMG_5333.jpg Projects - The Jeep https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1614670880572-NPFDK2JASDQIVMCQR26Z/IMG_5342.jpg Projects - The Jeep https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1615239228348-LYEGTVUIM2QVOTZPC4W8/IMG_6147.jpg Projects - The Jeep The photo to the left shows the Jeep only partially bolted together. With a 5 gallon bucket for a seat, I was to test drive it, looking for problems that had to be fixed before the fenders went on. Or worse, the engine had to come out. It was concluded that the rest of the assembly could continue. The engine ran strong, and if its not a cold winter day, it starts right up and immediately builds oil pressure. Nearly a year after completion, the engine runs as well as it did the day it was finished. The final steps were mounting the seats, fenders, hood, windshield and tailgate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1614670900304-II0YG16DG3KQNTYZ6C02/IMG_5344.jpg Projects - The Jeep https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/1614670849490-T2D3SG0ZU73ERL8CN7LK/IMG_5337.jpg Projects - The Jeep https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/e7856133-d744-46e9-8f9e-b9ad7d324bfe/IMG_2955.jpg Projects - The Jeep https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/8c45d5e4-41f4-431d-a286-4e489dee9a87/IMG_2952.JPG Projects - The Jeep https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/44e3e645-03a4-4c8c-b0f4-5908371c38c0/IMG_2951.JPG Projects - The Jeep https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8d113a24aef1e5b8f270f/18ead53b-fec8-4d45-b755-e665999d0617/IMG_2949.JPG Projects - The Jeep
