BAR STOOL GO KART - also called a Bar Stool Racer
I’ll document my build on this page. Check back for updates.
Since I already have a 10 HP Briggs & Stratton gas engine, I decided it was time to build something fun. A bar stool go kart is top heavy, so you can't make turns at high speed. I just don’t want to sit low like traditional karts. I’m too old for that.

I want my final build to look like the two examples shown here. Mine will have handle bars with a hand throttle.
I bought a used go kart frame with some additional parts. I mainly wanted the frame so I can cut and weld it to meet my needs.
The wheels and tires will likely be used on another project.
The guys in THIS VIDEO are having way too much fun.
