Abstract: A go-kart construction uses a unibody construction wherein the body serves as a part of the suspension as well. The molded body is made from a flexible yet resilient material such as fiberglass or a suitable plastic such that it has sufficient flexion about a longitudinal axis to allow some twisting deformity without sagging when a passenger is supported in the vehicle. The forward suspension is mounted only to the forward portion of the molded body and includes a transverse member on which vertical bearings for the steerable guidance wheels are mounted, however, the transverse member is connected to the flexible body only by a pair of longitudinally extending members which are freely rotatably connected to the transverse member at their forward ends.
