The Flatworks

The Flatworks, LLC. designs and produces wooden kits that are as fun to build as they are to use. Based in Newport, Rhode Island our first kit, the PlyFly GoKart, launched on Kickstarter, ending March 31st. Don’t worry though, you haven’t missed your chance to get a PlyFly or one of our other kits. We are currently building out our own online store, but until that is ready, you can pre-order below!

Karts ordered today typically ship within one week. More information about the karts and our kits can be found on our YouTube channel, our successfully funded Kickstarter campaign, our online forums, or in the instruction manuals.

PlyFly Go-Kart: 2.5 HP Edition

Get a complete PlyFly Go Kart kit ready to assemble with a 2.5 HP engine. Plenty of power for tooling around and smaller individuals. The 2.5 HP kart will not have enough power for the larger wheels or the live axle upgrades.

Classic Balance Board Kit

The Flatworks’ take on a classic balance board. Constructed of the highest quality materials, it has one central roller with traction pads and a central logo. Construction is estimated to take one to two hours. Ships in a single 16lb box. Deck length is 34″

THE TEAM

Tim Moulton
Tim is the founder and lead designer of The Flatworks and has finally realized his lifelong desire to own a go kart. He is an engineer by trait and training, and loves to bring designs off the paper and into the real world. His background in surgical robots, injection devices and toilet valves proves useful occasionally.
Kenton Zimmerman
Striking an uncanny balance between exuberance and organization, Kenton is a founding member of The Flatworks team. Kenton plays hard and manages to keep projects on track and priorities in line. He is a master of all things thoughtful, and keeper of the vision for the rest of the team.
Jen Z.
With a remarkable ability to create a singular vision through a forest of options, Jen directs the design elements of The Flatworks. Spraying a fire hose of material, designs, collateral and footage onto a blank canvas, Jen manages to create signal out of noise and helps form the connection between The Flatworks team and our beloved customers.
Dave Dennis
As someone who has raced powered things all his life, Dave has ushered the design of our first kits from concept to reality. Knowing no bounds, Dave cut, shaped, hammered and cajoled plywood to places it has never been before – and may never go again! When not racing a plywood construction around the parking lot, he can be found prepping his cars for the next hillclimb or rallycross.
