Well my dad taught me how to weld some time ago, so i gotta brush up on it. I wanted to use a steel square frame for the chassis, a bit easier to manipulate. Im only concerned with the bike engine and how to fabricate it to 4 wheels instead of 2. As well as a proper brake and suspension so i dont die. and then the rest is molded ABS plastic for the body work. Any other suggestions will help.

Go to a kart store and see how they're sending power to the rears. It's most likely a belt or chain drive around a sprocket on the rear axle. Brakes are easy- it's just hydraulics. Go junkyard hunting and grab four calipers and the mc from a pre-abs car. Then just bend and flare some hardlines and have some ss lines made. Just steal the suspension design from the karts you're looking at for drive solutions.
