The concept of the cycle kart in the 1920s emerged during a time when motoring was growing in popularity, but many people still couldn’t afford full-sized cars or motorcycles. At the same time, there was a burgeoning interest in small, affordable recreational vehicles. The cycle kart was born from this intersection of affordability, fun, and mechanical innovation.
While cycle karts enjoyed a period of popularity in the 1920s and early 1930s, their appeal began to fade with the increasing availability of affordable automobiles, better roads, and improvements in safety technology. As cars became more accessible, the cycle kart, with its rudimentary engineering and limited speeds, became less of a practical transportation option.
