Project 001 - Bugatti Type 35 Cyclekart
This Bugatti Type-35 cyclekart is my very first self-build project, far from perfect, but just right to spark a passion. I simply started, began building, and watched to see where the journey would lead.
Build between december 2021 and july 2023
This was my very first project. I was completely new to it and started without any kind of plan.
The foundation of this build is an old go-kart I bought from someone who had it sitting in his garage for years. He also sold me the engine that would later become the ‘heart’ of the cyclekart. I chose the go-kart as a base because it allowed me to reuse most of its original components, giving the project a solid starting point.
It’s definitely not the best-looking project, and there are plenty of things I could have done better. The proportions aren’t perfect, some details are rough, and I made more mistakes than I can count. But despite all that, this experience sparked a real passion in me. It made me realize how much I enjoy building and creating, solving problems, shaping ideas, and watching something come to life piece by piece.
All those hours spent thinking, sketching, designing, and building taught me more than I ever expected. I learned to be patient, to adapt, and to keep going even when things didn’t work out the first (or fifth) time. This project marked the beginning of something I genuinely love doing.
