Design and Fabrication of Go Kart

A Go-Kart, also written as go-cart (often referred to as simply a kart), is a type of open wheel car. Go-karts come in all shapes and forms, from motorless models to high-powered racing machines. Some, such as Super karts, are able to beat racing cars or motorcycles on long circuits. The scopes identified chassis design should bear load of 150 kg and the go-kart chassis must with floor dimension of chassis is 1193 mm X 1117 mm. There are many steps taken to design and fabricate this chassis. The first stage is did some literature review about the existing Go-Kart and Go-Kart chassis. Mostly current model of Go-Kart chassis is made from tubular pipe. Hence, this project is to modify the current model of Go-Kart chassis into a model that is easier to design, build and modify. Follow up with some designing and sketching. Designing is done by using software Solid works and ANSYS. This go-kart is powered by Briggs and Stratton engine. A Go-Kart must be driven only on racing track. Kart racing usually used as a low cost and relatively safe way to introduce drivers to motor racing. Karting is considered as the first step in any serious racer's career. The fabrication process of our Go-Kart is in such a way that it can attain good speed and acceleration. Even the breaking ability is considerably good.
