Go-kart No. 1
Friends and I built this gadget within a few weekends for fun before we were allowed to drive a real car. It was powered by a tuned moped motor, a 2-takt engine with two gear transmission, that's why there are three pedals like in a car - top speed was around 20 km/h.
We had a few issues with the position of the center of mass, which we got rid of in revision 2.
