LOLriokart – Shopping cart on wheels

MIT student, Charles Guan, has pimped out a shopping cart into an electric Go-Kart that does 30 mph. Dubbed “LOLriokart,” this shopping Go-Kart is a rear wheel drive controlled though a custom made steering system. It relies on brakes, but there is this red button directly in front of the steering wheel, as an emergency fallback, that cuts power to the motor. Check out more pictures and the road test video after the jump.
