==Etymology== The exact origin of the term is unclear. One of the first appearances of the term is an 1885 painting by the Scottish artist [[Hugh Cameron (artist)|Hugh Cameron]]'s "The Go-Cart".<ref>[https://artuk.org/discover/artists/cameron-hugh-18351918 Hugh Cameron]</ref> It is also unclear why the ''C'' was later changed to a ''K''. In the film ''The Ivory-Handled Gun'' (1935), the crippled father of Buck Jones refers to his wheelchair as a "go cart". [[Charles Dickens]] also used ''go-cart'' in ''[[Master Humphrey's Clock and Other Stories]]'' when talking of his travel to Italy. In Genoa, he talks about "a man without legs, on a little go-cart".<ref>{{Cite book |title=Master Humphrey's Clock and Pictures from Italy |last=Dickens |first=Charles |orig-date=1846}}</ref>
