E-Racer

---

This project involves the creation of a go-kart for a child with cerebral palsy. The client cannot use standard go-karts as he is not able to use his legs. He is also not able to use his left arm independently, but is able to use his left hand as a “helper hand”. There are several other products which have been designed, and one company which manufactures commercially available go-karts for disabled people. However, these go-karts lack many features which are necessary for a vehicle of this kind. The current project will address these shortcomings through the production of a custom-made go-kart based on the client’s needs and abilities. The primary goal of this project is to keep the client safe, but his ability to enjoy recreational time must also be heavily considered.
