The best way to evaluate a functioning go-kart would be testing its performance under various conditions and points. Therefore, a new go-kart called Mech Techinitial was presented in this report. Mech Tech initial was constructed based on the common go-kart size found in the market but with slight difference in the frame design. Mech Tech-initial's chassis was built using steel pipes, bent and welded together, with consideration to the position, braking system, steering system, seat position and many more. Other go-kart's components such as engine, seat, steering wheel, brake system, bumper and wheels are mounted to chassis to test the performance. The chassis dimensions were taken for further testing and future reference. Among the tests applied are weight distribution on each wheel, and 17-degree method.
