Made mainly from standard components found in the new Linde E20 – E50 forklift trucks, the Linde E1 has claimed the title of “world’s fastest electric go-kart”.

For those who don’t have $600 to shell out, continue reading for a video tutorial that shows how to make your own.

In this clip, ” black and white forest is colored in vibrant hues under our eyes except for one sad little panda, which sets off the compassion of an imaginative little boy.” Continue reading to watch.

Even if battle calls for the use of an iPad, we don’t recommend storing it in a non-secured pocket — also easy access for pick pockets — like those found on these tactical pants. That’s not all, here’s a whole batch of new demotivational posters to kick off your weekend. Click here for the first picture in gallery, courtesy of VeryDemotivational.
