Robert Gamble:

Many of us are in the same boat. We've got plenty of junk, but no money. We would like to have some fun, maybe making some new gizmo, or even a go kart.

Well making a go kart can be as easy as 7 easy steps:

1. Layout the length wise members of the Frame on the floor
2. Now apply the cross members for stability
3. Attach the rear axel and engine plate
4. Attach the front axel
5. Attach the engine
6. Attach the seat
7. Attach the Brakes

This sounds too easy to be true, but it applies across the board whether you are building a wood go kart or a metal frame go kart.

Those are the basic steps, the actual putting together of the go kart may be a little more involved.

The things that need to be considered before you make a go kart fall into the following three categories:

-Fit
-Form
-Function

- How much weight is this go kart going to be?
- How many people are going to be riding in it (two seater for example?)
- Will the go kart actually move with the motor I am putting on it?
- How can I figure out the drive system so that I don't burn up a clutch?
- Are the wheels that I chose going to work on a go kart? (for example you can't use plastic wheels from a push mower they will crack and break.)
- Are the components that I selected going to hold up? Or is this go kart going to end up being a slow cart?
- How do I know if my steering system is set up correctly?
- How do I know if my go kart is going to hold up when I go over a bump?
- Will the go kart braking system actually stop this go kart? How can I know for sure before getting on?

This is not even a comprehensive list, but it should get you at least thinking in the right direction before you just slap something together.

Remember this is going to be a moving vehicle, you want it start, stop and hold together.

So get those questions answered before you proceed.

I am looking to get a street legal dirt bike for commuting back and forth to college and local errands. Also I have permission to ride on a couple farms. I know nothing about bikes and will prob. be buying used so if someone could just point me in the right direction I would appereciate it.

Right now I am driving my diesel f250 work truck everywhere so I need something smaller for improved gas mileage...

Scooters are a solution to high gas prices. Here is what you need to know when buying a new scooter or moped.

Rarely are we presented with the opportunity to accomplish two goals in a single effort. Buying a scooter is one such example. Riding with the wind in your hair and a smile on your face satisfies one goal, the other being an increase in money on hand from fewer trips to the gas pump. Ever since we saw Audrey Hepburn riding through the city streets in the movie "Roman Holiday", we weren't sure who was flirting with us, Audrey, or the scooter. But we did fall in love with these cute little machines, and now they are taking care of us emotionally and financially.

When we set out to buy one, we seem to have a lot of decisions to make. How big of a motor do we need, what brand should we look at, and who should we buy from? For starters, as busy as most of us are, buying one on the internet seems to be the best and easiest way to go. The safety of making large purchases with your credit card online has come a long way. We all know to look for the 'https' in the beginning part of the web address when we are checking out, but what else should we do? How do we know the online store where we are shopping can be trusted? You say to yourself, "I sure wish I had something to go on, like comments from other satisfied customers". If you can find a good ebay seller with a high feedback rating, that may help you decide. Reading what other customers say about their experience with a store is like having someone else test the waters for you. But if you can find a website with an "About" page, you may find information there that will give you confidence to purchase.

Now what size should you get? A 50cc engine will get you up to 40-50 mph, the 150cc will do well over 60, and the 250cc will do 75+ mph. If you know where you will be mainly using it, i.e. commuting to work or school, cruising around town, or moseying around the marina or campground, you should have an idea of how fast you need to go.

The only thing left to decide is color. After making that decision, go pick out a new matching riding outfit, you can afford it now!
