This go-kart was constructed as a roughly two-thirds-scale Lotus Seven, reportedly by a boat builder in 1967, and it was later purchased by the seller, who refurbished and modified it, including by installing a 48-volt, 1,800-watt electric motor. The fiberglass body is finished in green with a yellow nose over a black steel frame. Equipment includes 12″ alloy wheels, rear disc brakes, rack-and-pinion steering, a black bench seat with red stitching, head and taillights, a windscreen, a faux tonneau cover and side-exit exhaust, a three-spoke steering wheel and a black roll bar. This Lotus Seven-style go-kart is now offered at no reserve in Blaine, Washington, on a bill of sale.
The car was refinished in green with a yellow nose under current ownership. Other exterior details include a windscreen, a faux side-exist exhaust, a silver mesh grille, halogen headlights with chrome buckets, 12-volt LED taillights, a black roll bar, and a Lotus emblem. The kart measures approximately 85” long, 46” wide, and 27” to the top of the windshield. The wheelbase is 62” in length. Refurbishment photos are shown in the gallery below.
The chrome-polished 12″ alloy wheels have SS center caps and are wrapped in 215/35 Steeleng tires. Stopping power is by cross-drilled disc brakes mounted on the rear axle.
The 1″ square tube steel frame was refinished in black, and the kart is equipped with a twin pedal setup, rack-and-pinion steering, and adjustable tie rods.
The cockpit features a bench seat upholstered in black with red piping and diamond stitching, and black carpets line the floors. A black-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel fronts a machine-finished dashboard that houses a GPS speedometer and tachometer, a drive selector switch with speed settings, a starter key, and light switches.
The refurbishment included installing new lithium batteries linked to a 48-volt, 1,800-watt brushless electric motor that sends power to a differential with a 3.90 ratio final drive.
