Flying Dutchman Skelter
Rated 4 out of 5 Change your rating Add a comment Add a comment   Zoom in  Zoom in
A flying Dutchman is a Dutch type of skelter named after the famous ship, which got his name because of it's speed (The legend says it had the wind in the sails for 7 years after the Captain sold his soul to the Devil).
About this creation
Well, if you wanted to go very fast on this kart you'll have to sell a bit more than just your soul. This things are so extreemly hard to drive. I had one, never drove more than a meter forward before I'd reverse it by accident. The point is that you have to "row" in order to drive, and the handelbars were connected to a crankshaft. But the crankshaft didn't always go the right way at the so called "dead point". And than there was the steering. You had to steer with your legs, which have far less fine locomotion. I can't remember in how many walls I ended up.

But, non the less, it was a fun project to design.
