brent1976 Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 I can't think of a good place to ride it, because it's too fast. It looks like a super go-kart with a street bike motor/tranny on it. http://www.killsometime.com/videos/8425/Awesome-Go-Kart-Can-Hit-170mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbird Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Yeah sure, almost taking both hands off the wheel to shift seems like a GREAT idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Nice. He needs to work on the shifter though. I think a rocker might be best so he can up/downshift without having to let go of the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 On further thought, do you upshift those transmissions while on-throttle? If not, a lever he lifts with his gas foot could work the clutch and he could go with a more conventional paddle-shift at the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brent1976 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 The steering wheel only turns about 90*. I don't see why he couldn't at least mount the clutch on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubar231 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 I think i would integrate some type of semi-automatic atv rocker style switch to change gears. I wouldn't want to take one of my hands off the wheel of that thing at 130-140+ shifting, one little twitch and you'd just be fucked.

wnaplay1647545503 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 2 things, 1. how long could the brakes last on that thing especially braking from those speeds 2. I dont think I would want to be buckled to that thing if shit went wrong. I would rather risk being thrown free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigOxley Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 seat belt? i think it might be worse strapped to that thing in a crash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
