Go-Karts are widely used across the world for recreational or professional racing purposes. The following paper includes the whole designing methodology of the various components of a go kart, designed and manufactured by students of Delhi Technological University. The go-kart was designed conforming with standard principles and considering all major factors and arameters for design and simulation, developing a fully failure analyzed ergonomic go-kart, powered by an internal combustion engine of capacity 125cc. Detailed calculations were done for all the components and 3-d modelling and simulation were performed on professional softwares. The gokart was fabricated following the industrial norms
