Lego Go-Kart

Simon Burfield, who built a Lego wheelchair, created this sweet go-cart, also built completely out of Lego.

Demo of my wife driving the Lego go-kart. It is powered by 16 XL PF motors, 8 rechargeable power functions battery packs. The steering is controlled via an NXT. It uses 20 EXO-FORCE Lego Wheels. I built this over Christmas as a way to put my yellow studded Lego to use.

Incidentally, the Lego wheelchair was a hit at the Lego World convention, and Lego CEO Jørgen Vig Knudstorp and the company’s owner Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen both have tried it out. Nice going Burf!
