I have worked on this on and off for some months now, I have decided to show it at Stoneleigh in a finished state, running and tested. It is for sale at £10,000 if anyone fancies a true one off MEV. It features a decent Honda Blade engine, we also have a power booster and quick shift set but have not fitted either. Shocks front and rear are in board, exhaust is stainless, Al tank, no reverse and would need lights and a collapsible steering wheel boss etc if wanted for road use. It does have a great stance and the front is very dramatic with it's point to ram anyone who dares to get in the way. Front panel is going to be see through ! De-Dion, verses Watts linkage, the unique rear beam adds to the drama, tyres are sticky, seats are carbon, steering is ultra quick, this is a very fast go-kart. When it's gone it's gone but someone may buy it and start manufacturing kit cars, now there is an idea.., err not!

Interesting build. How about pics of rest of of it.. Is there a way to put an electric reverse on it. That would help sell it.

I will not have it completed until Stoneleigh so all will be revealed then, it has a reverse motor with a special adaptor that engages on the sprocket nut, very trick way of doing it, we are making a soft start electronic control for the reverse motor as I hate those that snatch and hit the little battery hard when the solenoid jams full power up a car starter motor, terrible idea, and that whine, oh no, the whine! Good news is that MEV owners with bike engines who have the "snatch type reverse" will be able to buy our soft start control soon. It basically allows the power to ramp up quickly but never instantly by the introduction of pulse width modulation (PWM).
