Abstract

The aim of this paper is to reduce complexity in the overall design of Go- Kart to make it simple and light in weight without any premature failure and downfall in performance, since the efficiency of vehicles mainly depend upon the optimum design of its various elements. The Finite Element Analysis (FEM) method was used to create, evaluate, and recast the optimal Go-kart design to attain its objective. In addition to CAD software (SolidWorks and CATIA) were also used to design and analyse Go-Kart elements (chassis design, frame, composites, steering mechanism, braking system, and drive train design). So, finally an optimum proposal design would be prepared by considering its serviceability, safety, strength, cost, standardization, ergonomics, and aesthetics.

Keywords
