Project Streetliner
I happened on Project Streetliner, a scooter based commuter vehicle, that I thought was worth mentioning here since it is “sorta” like a Cycle Kart. It is home-built, so in that capacity, it embraces the “figure it out and have fun doing it” mentality of Cycle Karting. The front end would also look nice on a Cycle Kart, especially if someone would tackle a wishbone suspension like the Streetliner, while maintaining a vintage look. I am using an independent swing arm suspension, but utilizing a single transverse half elliptical leaf spring, so it will be in front of the body.

Like a tilting Morgan three wheeler , one of the original cycle cars . The cyclekarts are really micro-cars , Not that I think putting them on the road is a good idea .

I will be using a half steering wheel in my Cycle Kart as I am a large fellow and my build is starting to feel tiny (I was shooting for small “cute” proportions and it is apparently working).
I would agree, I don’t think anyone should take a Cycle Kart on the road. That said, Project Streetliner will be road worthy and will get it licensed as such.
