A good deal

A great starter kart at a very good price. Needed to change the throttle setting to allow higher top speed than mine was set at but easily done. Running it on dirt and pasture. Would buy it again. You will need a flexible snout funnel to get oil into it.

Not bad at all.

Great value, everyone had similar go Karts for about 200 or 300 more this one was 1200 plus 99 shipping. Weirdly enough it went back up to 1549 a week after I bought it. Glad I got it when I did. Comes in a super sturdy metal frame and putting it together wasn't too bad. The engine is surprisingly quiet and my kids love it.

Good go-kart for the kids.

Decent go-kart for the price. Actual kart is a lot nicer than the one pictured on the website. It's not a 7000$ utv so don't expect to get one for the price. Motor is rear mounted and lawnmower style so it is great and simple to keep running and maintained.

Decent machine. Terrible manual.

I've only used this a couple times. So far it runs well. But my frame didn't fit together quite right. For the life of me, I couldn't get one of the main metal frame pieces to fit where the holes were drilled. That's not acceptable. Also, a couple bolts were missing and some of the washers didn't have holes drilled all the way through them. So there were definitely some sloppy pieces. The manual was terrible. First of all, they have made so many models that the pictures in the manual did not match my machine. This was particularly frustrating when I was trying to find the where the oil went. The pictures in the manual were zoomed in so you couldn't tell which side of the engine it was supposed to be on and the pictures were different from my engine anyway. I did find the where the oil went, but it was completely unmarked. To specify how crazy this is, there were 3 giant yellow warnings on the engine that said to make sure you put oil in it before you ran the engine, but none of them were anywhere near where the oil was supposed to go. The oil cap had no marking on it - nothing that said oil at all. Someone more familiar with machines might have found it intuitive, but I did not. Also, the manual had installation of the seat as the second step. And eventually the step of installing the netting behind the seat. But the last step was to add oil - and to get to the oil cap, you have to uninstall the seat and netting. Again, someone who is good with the machines might intuitively see that problem coming, but I didn't and it was aggravating. Similar thing - the gas tank is very difficult to fill after the rack is installed. So far the machine is running well. The manual was terrible and did not explain things well. The concept was simple, but I strongly recommend watching youtube video and throwing the manual in the trash. I still might return the gokart because of the frame not fitting together correctly.

Broken!

Arrived broken…left front arm not connected to anything. Don't live near a Sam's Club. A month later…still have a broken go kart and Sam's Club can't figure out how to pick it up and refund me! This has been one of the worst experiences with an item and Sam's Club. Beware!

Very poor quality

Go Kart was delivered with damage to right front wheel. Sam's club could not exchange it only offered a refund. I fixed the front wheel ($90) myself. Within 2 hours of driving the Go Kart, the brakes went out on the unit - leaking brake fluid. Contacted Coleman - it's been a week and they say they are "working on it" - very frustrating experience. While waiting, I decided to drain the brake caliper - a piece of shaved metal was within the caliper. Horrible quality control. I would avoid this - I have spent too much time trying to keep it running. I should have bought another brand.

DON'T BUY THIS KART!!!!!!

Bought as main gift for xmas for my kids. So far left spindle fell off because of bad weld, clutch nut fell off, sprocket bolt fell out , right ball joint snapped and weld for clutch cover broke. I placed order for parts and never received them and 3 weeks later got an email asking to be patient. Called directly and was told no parts available for another 4 weeks. DO NOT BUY THIS THING!!!!!
