Design of Transmission System for Go-Kart Vehicle

Transmission means the whole of mechanism that transmits the power from engine crankshaft to the rear wheels. In Go kart vehicle, the power from engine is transmitted to the sprocket using chain i.e. chain drive. UsuallyGokarts do not have a differential, so it is eliminated. The power from the engine is transmitted to the rear two wheels using chain drive which is capable of taking shock loads. Objective of this work is to design the transmission system which can transfer power from engine of vehicle to the wheels. Several different methods are considered while designing power transmission of Go kart.
