“.....I've still got a faint scar on my forehead from a T-bone between my coaster and a bike when I was about ten!! .....”

Roger Hopefully we’re going to avoid that

I was thinking the other day that we will need to put at least a front bumper of some kind on it (that whole Elise driving thing). I’ve also got a couple of new lap belts out in the shed that we may install when we get to that point, mostly to get the kids into some good habits and also teach Cade about mounting points etc.

“..... Is it going to be powered, I think I see vents?....”

Pepi the best answer is.....probably at some point. Initially it’s just going to be a coaster, but it is being built to accept an engine (the potential engine is shown on page 1). Should that engine not work out, plan “B” may be electric power and plan “C” would be to actually spend money on a real go cart engine. The vents were a lucky happenstance in that the old AC unit the box was robbed from happened to have them, I just made sure to retain them when I cut it down.
