View Full Version : My Icechest Ride

I built up the ice chest about three years ago. The front end is from a Go-ped Bigfoot, the wheels are spindle mount Douglas kart wheels. The drive wheel has a machined aluminum sprocket mount welded to the wheel. The engine is a little Honda GX31 4 stroke engine, mounted up to a Viza scooter gearbox, which has a 9 tooth #35 chain sprocket. Depending on what sprocket I run on the rear wheel it will go about 9-13mph. Not going to win any speed races, but it is fun and reliable.

Nice Job Bentworker!

The only thing I think I would have changed was to put larger tires on the back. That's just my style.

Can you rid a wheelie on it?

It will pull a wheelie.....sort of.
Since it is one wheel drive it just will lift the front wheel off the ground and turn to the left when you nail the throttle. I need to take a video of me doing hot laps in the two car garage, sliding around the corners....it is pretty dam funny, it doesn’t have much power since the GX31 is only 1.5 hp, some day when I have another wad of stupid cash I'll go out and buy a tweaked 49cc two stroke for it to see if I can injure myself..
