Whatever is ‘laid down as law’ in the various countries, clubs and groups, a cyclekart is first of all a fun machine. So, whatever ‘regulations’ apply, the primary intention is to have fun – building it yourself and then running it (and of course showing it off!). There are, of course, ‘guidelines’ in place to set a framework of how and what to build and to set out where the limits in size etc. lie, but these are well intended not as limits to your creativity, but to stop advantage being taken by the unscrupulous, which , let’s face it, spoils everyone’s fun.
Definitions decide whether a vehicle is a motorcycle or a motorcar, for example and no one is going to argue a car into a motorcycle and vice-versa. The dividing lines there are self explanatory unless you happen to work at the tax-office, of course!
Sooooo, what actually IS a cyclekart and what sets it apart from other vehicles?
