Personal tracked vehicle This thesis is based on the prototype PTV (personal tracked vehicle) go kart build plans. Using the information from the purchased PTV build plans, a similar PTV go kart will be redesigned. The newly designed PTV go kart will be made using suitable metric components available in the local market. As part of this project, a suitable chain drive, belt drive, shafts, bearings and disc brake will be redesigned. Using the design calculations, suitable components will be selected from suppliers’ catalogues. Structural analysis will be carried out to select suitable tubes for the frame. A 3D model of the PTV go kart will be drawn using SI units in millimetres. The 3D model can be used to analyse any potential problems and to see if the components will fit together properly.
