Go CTVMotors Cart

July, 2005
Another motor added! One day, as I was getting home from work, my kids met me to tell me they'd found a go-cart. They've been wanting one and shopping around for a couple of years. That day they were coming home from some summer adventure with mom and passed this fine machine for sale a couple of houses down the road. There was little stopping them at that point.

I had some errands to run. They developed the plan to walk down and negotiate a deal, then I'd meet them at the go-cart. On my return from getting gas on my way to cut the grass, they were next to it, waving and jumping around. In pretty excited manners, they told me they could afford it using their own money. One even ran home to get money while the other stayed to shoo off other potential buyers. After hearing of their efforts and watching their faces describe the go-cart plan, I gave the ok for them to spend their money on it. They talked to the man and a deal was struck.

They rode it for several hours while I cut the grass. When I could get close enough to see them, they were beaming!

These pictures show the little front tires and the tall rear ones. There is a paved parking lot near a nearby school marked for drivers training. We pound around this parking lot using the little tires, but it goes better on the yard with the tall tires.

Currently we're considering upgrading it by intalling a live axle and different sprocket. We also think it would run better with a new clutch. Of course, another dream is a bigger motor, too. Mommy keeps insisting on a roll cage and seat belts....
