Hi Ryan,

If you are going to buy all the parts for a go-kart, then it will be
expensive.

If you have time, and are patient, you can look for old second-hand
parts from old motorcycles and lawnmowers. Ride-on lawnmowers have lots
of parts you can use on a Go-Kart. The wheels for example.
If you went to buy 4 new wheels for a go-kart, it could cost $200-$300.
You can buy a go-kart kit from:

Thats for a basic go-kart with no engine and what looks like plastic wheels.

I hope this helps. Best of luck,
-steve
