Yahoo Autos I Have Seen The Viral Ural Sidecar Go-Kart, And I Want To Exchange An Amount Of Money For It
When you hear the familiar potato-potato exhaust report of a high-performance American V-twin popping toward you on the street, you expect to see an old Harley with a millionaire dentist in blue collar cosplay. The gap between your expectations and the reality of this Russian hot rodder storming the streets in a self-propelled vintage Ural sidecar could not be farther apart.

Some of the development of this machine was done by Ural, as it still uses the original rear driveshaft that drove the sidecar’s original single outside wheel, though now it receives power not from a separate motorcycle, but from a chain and sprocket isolated on a flex-disc giubo (which is pronounced djyoo-bow, not gwee-bow; I will die on this hill) connected at the other end to a hopped up V-twin and five-speed transmission.
It seems that Mad Badger has already long sold this contraption, as it was listed for sale some 30 months ago. Alas, I’ll just have to build my own.
