My advice is don't use AUTOcad, make it from scratch. get some pipes and a welder and have fun. You can use parts from old bikes. Just go to goodwill or any thrift shop and buy some old mountain bikes and use the gears or whatever. Parts from an old lawnmower would work (stering system, chains, seats, etc.)

If I were you I would just invest that money in building a go-kart. It's pretty easy really.

Or you can make one of these (copy and paste link in browser) http://www.desertkarts.com/panthersand.ivnu

Ball bearing racers big hill night time

no need for pedals. A helmet for the timid perhaps.

Weld two identical bikes together and then connect the steering with a tie rod.
