Re: MX Bike Electric Buggy Build
OK, back again after an extended stay in the hospital. I made it to my "shop" Sat.and did a little work. I screwed together two of the steel framing stud track sections to make a box tube, which will be what most of the frame will be constructed out of. There will be two sections of frame that goes from the MC down tubes to the golf cart drive axle, the lightweight tubes will come off of that. The sections that comes off of the down tubes will be made of 1.5" x 3.5" 1/8 wall steel, welded to the down tubes. The welding will be done at a friends shop, which I can do by taking the forks off and carrying the sections in without having to move the whole buggy. The lightweight frame sections will be riveted with aircraft blind rivets during final assembly. Next shop day I'll do a mockup of the seat frame so I can design the rear spring mounts, wood 2x4's are the chosen material...

Awesome, I hope you're out of the hospital for a long time. I've been looking forward to some progress pics!

Re: MX Bike Electric Buggy Build
Thanks, I am doing Much better now, 3 months between doc visits. And I have found the odd size steel tubing I need to build the main frame sections, 1.5" x 3.5" x .120 wall. Ive been looking for that for months, but found it 120 miles away from home, going to get it today. This is the latest photo of the buggy, using wood to mock up the seat position and construct a jig to hold everything together while it gets cut up.

Re: MX Bike Electric Buggy Build
Killer build, you will have the best/comfortable off-road cart ever. Tubes suck, but that’s a small price to pay.

Re: MX Bike Electric Buggy Build
Hey CFECO, any updates in the last 13 months? I'm interested in how this thing turns out.
