I've built a few for friends who have kids and you can find really good condition used ones for decent prices on facebook marketplace, craigslist, offerup, etc. The last one I bought was a little lime green doodle bug for $60. The engine was blown because they forgot to check the oil, but the rest of it was mint. Bought a $99 Harbor Freight motor, and bolted it on in about 20 minutes.

I was saving my 600cc race bike motor after I wrecked the bike because I was going to put it in a kart chassis. I had everything figured out on how to do it, just never got around to it. Finally got sick of it taking up space in the shop and got rid of it. Probably for the best, no way I wouldn't do something stupid on it.
