DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!

We bought 2 of these for Christmas 2016. They rode them for about a week and they've been broken ever since. I ordered parts ( belts and steering mechanisms) and it is now May 1st and still no parts. I'm so upset that my kids have been without their big Christmas present going on 5 months now. Such a disappointment!

Road Only

I have 7 acres and this thing does run fast, ill give them that. However it is the bumpiest ride youll ever have. Imagine riding a school bus down a dirt and gravel road at 55mph, same feeling. It rattles alot all over, i have tightened all the bolts and it still makes you think its going to fall apart. Some of the washers on the front shocks are even plastic! It rides very well on smooth surface. Also, you will need a long funnel to fill the fuel tank, they brilliantly decided to mount the back rack above the fuel cap inlet. (Photo attached)The speed can be adjusted with a screw that is located on top of the carburetor near the throttle cable. The cart is also very small, my head sticks up out of the top about 4" and my legs are very uncomfortable giving cart rides for the little ones. The biggest thing I noticed is this thing has almost zero turning radius.(photo attached)It is very awful. Worse than any motorized toy i have ever had, and thats a lot!

Junk

Bought KT196 in Dec 15. Complete junk workmanship. Welds break due to improper technique. Metal and hardware are low grade. Under warranty it was fixed three times and now that warranty is out more parts breaking. Examples are bolts, suspension, welds, and the basjey on the rear. Motor is good, made in USA. I wouldn't waste my money. Kids can't ride it when it's broken.

Fun while it lasted

Very cheap materials. The left control arm seems like it is connected with sheet metal. It broke after a few months of weekend use. No one has the part in stock. Only after I purchased it for my kids did I see the reviews about the poor suspension and steering assy, which is scary. Should have got a Yerf Dog!

Junk

Is not worth the money. Worst Christmas gift. Do not buy. Kids had it for two days and the engine started sounding funny then it would take off with no one in it. Very dangerous. Called Coleman and have been going round and round for a week now not very happy at all. Kids are very upset it was there big Christmas gift and they can't even ride it. Coleman has not answered our emails nor have they returned our calls. Over 1,000.00 wasted on something that shouldn't be having problems only having 2 days. Not worth it do not recommend at all.

Waste of money

Bought this go cart for my kids for christmas, was so excited for them to have it. Finally gets warm outside for them to ride in march and the sprocket broke, I can't even get the chain to go back on which means its non operational. It took me 6 months to get this thing off law-a-way just to see my kids disappointed faces. I'm so upset that I wasted 1000.00 dollars on this thing, because of bad manufacturing. Someone really needs to do something about this. A refund would be great, or at least fix it for free COLEMAN.

AWESOME!

Ours doesn't look exactly like the stock photo. Its actually looks MUCH better. The stock photo seems basic compared to what we got. The seats are nicer & the paint is a little dif. It was pretty easy to assemble. Started right up & runs great. I wasn't sure if the seat was adjustable but found out it is. Excellent price compared to any others we found locally. Very happy with this purchase!

Not worth the money

Bought this go cart as a Christmas gift last year. The second time riding this go cart, the passenger side ball joint snap apart. After about 3 months of sitting up with no riding time, I paid a mechanic to fix it... After fixing it, my son drove it and one week later when I cranked it up, the go cart took off by itself without anyone pressing the gas. We had to immediately shut it off with the button. As of now, it is sitting in our garage with the passenger side ball joint messed up again. I would NOT recommend anyone spend this amount of money on this piece of junk. It was fun while it lasted (only about 5 good rides) throughout the entire year of 2016. Please read all the reviews. Just about all the negative reviews are True. I've had many many many problems with this go cart!!!

Looks great, poorly manufactured.

The go kart pictured is not the actual one. It actually looks way cooler than pictured. We rode it around our yard and it was quite bumpy but the kids loved it. Unfortunately we've had it 5 months only riding it in our yard on weekends and as my daughter was coming down a small hill really fast the passenger tire flew off and caused her to recorrect and hit a small tree. Luckily it has seat belts and she was wearing hers. Unfortunately we are a month out of warranty and it can't be refunded or labor paid. They are sending us some part but it can't be put on by us. As cool as this product looks it is made cheaply and must be rode with more caution than normal.

Good kart

Bought Kart for Christmas its started first pull everytime. Its not easy to put fuel in it, so I removed the basket. Its designed for people under 5ft 2 but will pull whoever is in it. We live in very steep mountains so the mud tires and live axle are needed and work good. The seat only slides about 4in but is helpful and easy.
