@@flexthis1452 me too!! My youngest actually likes the shop. My two older boys aren't really into building things. But, they all enjoy using the stuff I build... 😆
Very cool build , I love it when parents build there kids cool toys that can not be bought. Great build and real great parenting. I knew I was going to like this channel.please keep it up! Thanks
Really nice job! Awesome buggy. So cool to see it pop wheelies! That jump on the sand dune had me thinking we are about to see how well the seat belts and cage work. Glad it went well. Would love more details on how it was made. My kids are on the 110cc ATVs and I think they would like something like this much more.
@@motomule yea, my friend owns a farm so we took it around a flat 'ish' field but mostly the concrete area, I only when about 15mph max with only 1 motor though! Ha
I just found your channel and I love. I am in Germany, and could you image that I would go to jail in Germany if I would build something like that and let my little one drive around with it? So sad the freeness you have in the states is awesome
Nice but a five points seabelt, a rollcage a bit more reinforced and something to separate the motor bay from the driver's seat would've been even greater. Seeing that thing almost flipping over while climbing that dune made me a bit uncomfortable. Anyway you're a great dad dude, thanks for the vid!
This is awesome, I’m same way with my 3 little girls build them anything to have fun on. They grew out of the crazy modified electric power wheels they are about the age to move up to gas. That’s if momma will Let me “the biggest kid of all” make one for “us” lol 😂😉🤓👍🏼
Ha ha awesome. I love how reasonably simple it is. I've been watching all sorts of videos trying to figure out how I could make an off road kart with limited tools and meagre welding skills. There's some amazing things out there but I like this one for those reasons. You most definitely should consider selling pdf plans for this as well as a "big kids" version. Maybe you could do an adult's version with a how to step by step vid. A big ask I know but... Thanks for the great content.
The next kids one is going to be 4wd!!! My kids want a monster truck. Making plans would be difficult, so much of what I build just happens because of the materials I have on hand. I'm no engineer or anything, honestly I wouldn't want the liability of designing something for someone else and then them getting hurt.
@@motomule ok fine but you're copping out a bit there. Your frame design is solid otherwise you wouldn't let your own kids ride it right? Just say "build at your own risk, go karting is inherently dangerous" that sort of thing. Otherwise I look forward to seeing the next innovation.
Love your videos! Can you share your approx. gear ratio from the preador 212 cvt thru the jack shaft to the rear live axel? Seems like you nailed the torque/speed for a young child and I'm hoping to do the same. Much appreciated! Keep doing what you're doing! (2:48 for reference)
Thank you for watching. I don't remember what sprockets I used, but I can check when I get it ready for camping next week. The motor is bone stock, still has governor and everything.
@@motomule Thanks! I'd appreciated. I think stock seems like the way to go for the youngsters. What did you use for rack/pinion or did you make it? 1:03 & 1:28
Where did you get tires and steering from? I’m 14 years old and I’m building my own off-road buggy because of you. And I really don’t know what I’m doing, but I just would like to know where you got them so I can use them on my exact same buggy just bigger? And any tips for me? I love your channel and all you do!
We are going yo upgrade this little buggy with suspension, he's been jumping it now... 😆 The wheels and tires are just old quad equipment. The front spindles are off of an old banshee quad. Steering is rack and pinion made for a go kart.
Moto Mule that’s awesome! I’m very very excited to get started. Thanks for all and I will definitely stay posted through the suspension process! Good luck! 👍
I am a nurse by trade and a woodworker by passion. I know how to weld. Id really like to build something like this for my daughters. How do i begin to build the knowledge of what parts to use and where to get them from? That little buggy is so cool!!! I really want them to have that kind of childhood.
On this buggy I used a harbor freight engine and Chinese torque converter. The front wheels and hubs are off of an old quad. The rear axle is a standard go kart axle. I'd search Go Power Sports for most of the parts you'd need. Thanks for watching!!
Hey there, this is awesome, iam about to start a buggy build for my 7yr old son in an attempt to steer him away from video games ect, I've watched all your videos and can't wait to see more of the grave digger build :D , at the end you say how can I make the videos better , you can't, you nailed it.... although I wish builders like yourself would have a separate camera recording constantly when your working so we can watch the directors cut also lol , keep up the good work, cheers from the U.K :)
@@motomule me and a friend built a cbr600 powered race kart years ago, i had a fender bender so we chopped it up and built an off-road buggy with the engine , unfortunately we didn't have a very good quality video camera or camera man lol so footage is poor, you can see it on my friends account on here frosty24uk
Would have been better off with just a regular clutch and a jack shaft instead of a CVT, CVT's are good for top speed so that makes it a bit of overkill. But I love the kart good size for little one's and looks like they can grow some and still use it...
So cool too see! Very nice build quality! Inspiring! Tips for next time? Ask your friends over at grind hard how to up your editing game! 👍🏻 I feel that ur content are getting held back a little bit by the edit. Do people agree or disagree?
@@motomule yeah, you wil get there! A few tips from Ethan and your already gone far! Also you are in a nice position where you already have good skills and excitibg stuff to film! It's Worse to film epic shots with super boring content! 😅
Screw that. I dont always want to see those overproduced arty farty crap. Average Dad, doing awesome stuff. I’m watching this cause its just the way i like it. A couple of construction shots, and then the thing working. I havent got 2 hours to watch a full series of some wannabe dribbling on. Love the cart. I reckon i’ve probably got those parts lying around too. Only problem is the kids are pretty much driving cars at the farm now.
That was 100 mph dad ! Let’s see .... at this pace your looking at speed week at the salt flats in place of the dunes by the time they can legally drive . Simple mathematics using a formula I made up , like computing power law double the HP every 18 months; 6.5 ,13,26,52,104,208,416,832,1664, and so on!! Something like that would get them to the age at where you make the decision (s) to abruptly chop the money tree down or they sign big money endorsements( prior to legally binding) with enough time to skim or recoup your investments and forever controlling a revenue stream of royalties from your intellectual property s ? Just a thought. Good luck Post script .. I’m not an attorney, aka bottom feeder , nor should this make any sense to a person of sound mind and cognitive awareness. Unless your a resident of California lacking a moral compass regardless of political affiliation you wouldn’t get it anyway.
Love it!! I am indeed in big trouble... Hopefully this youtube thing will take off and help me pay for all the motorized toys the boys will "need" in the future.... Thank you for watching!!

Simply awesome
Thank you!!!
This things so neat that I wouldn't mind it for myself lol. Nothing wrong with those predator engines. Soo much fun you can have with them.
I can't fit in it, but I can say that it has driven me around plenty with me sitting on the roll cage!!! Thanks for watching!
That's sick and eazy I like how you didn't go gas and keep its eazy and not loud for the kids
O dam now I see motor should watched it all lol
@@flexthis1452 😆 I tried the electric thing, but I could make it work for us. The gas engine has been perfect. The boys love it!! Thanks for watching.
It's still amzing. Hes a lucky kid to have a dad that can do that. I hope to see him building stuff some day on youtube.

Clean but simple frame great work
Thanks! And thanks for watching!!
Super cool little kid buggy!
Would love a build plan. This is a great kids project
I just built it as I went, didn't really plan it much... Thanks for watching!!
Very cool build , I love it when parents build there kids cool toys that can not be bought. Great build and real great parenting. I knew I was going to like this channel.please keep it up! Thanks
Thanks!!! This has been a fun project, it kind of evolved to suit our needs. I plan to build some more body panels for it. Thanks for watching!!
No no, thanks for posting! Can't wait to see more.
Your boys will be successful in life due to your good parenting.
I sure hope so! Thanks for watching!!
That's awesome just awesome your children are going to have such great memories of their childhood that is dad level 11 out of 10

This is awesome!
Thanks! Check out some of my other videos. 😄
Mate I absolutely luv this thing my littlest wants one really bad what a toy wel done cheers
Thank you! Thanks for watching.
What a great little buggy!
The boys love it!!
Seeing that thing wheelie made my day. A kid isn't living proper until they're cat walking. lol
So lucky that I caught that wheelie on camera. I need to get a drone like you have to capture more of the kiddos crazy fun!!!
Are u in canada??
This is a awesome dad!!!
Thanks!! And thanks for watching!!!
Man I love your channel! It’s definitely by far the most inspiring channel I’ve seen in a long time!
Thanks man!! I enjoy your videos too!!
👐 it goes 10 Dad, that's a lot faster than 5. Lol, so good👍

That's awesome the ending brought a laugh and tear. Good job dude happy kids are the best.
Thank you!!
That is sweet!..just found your channel thx to grind hard..didnt even know you made that sign for Greg..great channel
I love seeing the sign in the background of Greg's videos now... He was kind enough to give me my first Shout out.
Haha, thats exactly how my dad made our buggy for me when I was a kid, the electric motor from a mobility scooter!
It didn't work for us because we have such hilly property, but the electric motors were a fun experiment!!

Awesome bro!!!!!
Great build ! May I ask how big are the wheels, tyre size and rim size ?
Where did you find the hubs to fit those wheels with what axle. !!!
They are standard go kart hubs, I drilled the rims to fit the hubs.
So cool 😎
Thank you. It will get some up grades soon..

Thank you for watching!!
Would these be able to drive in roads ?
where did you get that seat?? i would like that on my build
Ebay. Search for kid suspension seat. I think it's race trim brand. Thanks for watching.
Next time show exactly how you made the go kart,no cuts in the video
Do you mean do a time lapse type video??
Yeah with all the steps of project cause people could use your desig and give a like. but not to fast of time lapse
Do you have a build list of the parts you used? Links? Diagrams?
No sorry, just built as I went.
What thickness and diameter tubing did you use????
It's a great I want one
Any chance I can get some photos of the buggy from you so I can make one for my self, I mean my kid!!? Haha.
I want to build one now
Do it!!!
@@motomule im 15, I'm gonna get a ltttle bit of money then I will start it
You should produce these, or sell the plans!
Where have you bought that seet?
EBay. It's a Race Trim brand kids suspension seat.
Do you still have this thing it’s amazing?
Sold it to a friend for his younger boys. My boys outgrew it...
How much did this cost in all
Hehhe nice
What size pipe did you use
1in Tubing.
Hi moto mule, can you let me know where you sourced the seat from, cheers from down under
