Cyclekart is a type of kart racing where you drive what basically is a motorised soapbox car.
The mechanical design is a simplified version of a cyclecar. The formula specifies that a cyclekart is a one-seat car using Honda 17 x 1 3/4 or 2 inch rims, 2.50 x 17 tires, a 38 inch track, wheelbase as close to 66 inches as the aesthetics of the car will allow, weight no more than 250 lbs, and powered by a 200 cc, single cylinder, 6.5 hp Honda OHV engine (the GX200). A cyclekart should not cost more than $1750 to build in 2001 dollars and the driver is required to build his own car. Power is transmitted via a Comet TAV-30 unit to one wheel only. Braking is also on this same rear wheel by mechanical Comet disc.
Cyclekarts are generally styled as 1920s and 1930s race cars.
