Desert Island Go Kart

Spring 2024

Class Project

This go kart allows the rider to take the beach with them, wherever they may go. The kart not only boasts an eye-catching sun-kissed design, but it also shines in the mechanical department, with an agile steel frame, effortless and out of the way tiller-style steering, and top speeds to compete with the fastest mobility scooters. The kart can ride on a variety of surfaces including pavement and carpet and easily fits through door thresholds, making it not just a fun ride, but also a practical and fun mobility solution. The kart was built within a strict budget, making use of various re-used components including a chair found on the side of the road, recycled driveway sand, and a motor found in the trash.
