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.

Great for kids AND adults!

This go cart is an excellent starter edition for kids older than 10. Is powerful enough that it is super fun for adults too! My 12 year old cousin can crank it with no problems! Fun to ride around the yard, handles turns and bumps with no troubles. We love to run them through the hunting trails near our house. One tank of gas lasts hours depending on how much you weigh! Love love love!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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!

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!

Christmas day 2016

Was hesitated to purchase gas powered after having such success with the Razor electric brand. It's christmas day and we started the go kart my son drove it less than one minute and shut it off to go use the bathroom. Came back outside and an hour later we still cannot crank it. Use starter fluid, checked oil and spark plug etc. Brand new and these types of issues??? This was an expensive gift that the entire family split equally to afford. Well my son has no christmas gift now because we have to return it. How awful....

Junk

Very poor quality. Bought this last year as a Christmas present for our three kids. At the time there were no current reveiws for this item, but we were thinking Coleman was a decent brand and price was good so we decided to take a chance. The 2nd week we had it my little girl was riding it when the right passenger wheel came off (broke at the weld) which I have seen many complaints regarding these recent reviews.. Thank God nobody got hurt and Coleman better be glad as well. At the time it was under warranty so Coleman had us take to a local mechanic to have fixed. Got it home and they probably rode it two times and the belt broke. So I called to order the new belt which by then (because it took so long to repair) I had to pay for it due to the warranty had expired. We received the belt $35.00 later and like to have never got it to go on, had to have my nephew who is a mechanic put it on(which still took 2 hours) and then after a few rides it's already slipping again like it is about to break or come off. The rear basket also broke off at the weld which is fine because we really don't need it, but it's just the fact of the matter that we paid $1,000 for this peice of junk and according to the reviews I'm sure will have plenty more issues in the future if it runs that long. Don't waste your time or money. Piece of garbage.

Way better on dirt than street!

Purchased from Walmart. Had them unpack it and put the back wheels on for me, so I could roll it into my truck. I did the rest at home. The seat base was a bit twisted, so I had to use my c-clamp to line up the holes. Getting the oil was perplexing at first since the fill hole was behind the seat. I ended up using my fluid transfer pump ($8)... filled it in 30 seconds. I had my daughter tighten and torque every bolt. She loved that. Easy to start. Tight fit for 2 people. Factory setting on speed is way too low for me, but my 14 year old was good with it. After she road it for a while, I adjusted the throttle cable and limiter screw. I was quicker. After riding on the street and bike path, I road it in the dirt.... way more fun. Better to whip around. As and adult who rides motorcycles, I am looking for more speed. This is good for my 14 year old daughter... for now.

TERRIBLE JUNK!!!!!!!

Do not buy this go kart, I REPEAT, DO NOT BUY THIS GO KART. It has been broken more than it has been ridden. Bad clutch, muffler just fell off, chain won't stay on, broken front ball joint, and I could go on and on. AGAIN, I REPEAT, DON'T BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK.
