Go Kart is a small four wheeled vehicle with no suspension and differential. This paper is aimed to design a light weight and rigid chassis for a Go Kart Vehicle. The Go Kart vehicle chassis is totally different from standard automotive chassis. The chassis is intended in such how that it needs less materials and ability to withstand loads applied on it. Modeling and analysis were performed in SOLIDWORKS 2016 and ANASYS 15.0. In this kart, AISI 1018 grade steel tube of 1 inch diameter and 1mm wall thickness were used which is having high tensile strength and good machinability. Front, Rear and Side impact tests were simulated in the design to ensure the safety of the drivers. Static analysis was carried out to find its maximum deformation and Stress. Calculations were done to find out the impact force and factor of safety of the chassis.
