This kart is so much fun!!!

This kart is so much fun!!! Our 15 year old daughter can't get enough of it. It's quick and safe. I highly recommend shipping it to the store for them to assemble, which is what I did after reading a few reviews about assembly. They will do it for free, which was awesome. You will just need to add oil (SAE 10W30) and 1 gallon of gas. The oil is in a tough spot to reach on the back of the engine so you will need a small, bending funnel. You will need a funnel for the gas too. It is easy to drive. Goes up and down hills just fine. It maxes out around 25mph but probably goes faster downhill. Feels faster for sure. I recommend getting some side bar mirrors and lights if you might encounter cars. It is designed for smaller people. I'm 5'5 and about 165lbs and it's a tight fit for me with the seat about 2 inches from its farthest back position. My weight does not seem to affect speed too much but it isn't designed for higher weight. The turn radius is not great which will help protect from flipping over and allows for sufficient turning in most situations but expect to have to push it backwards to back up or adjust to a turn you couldn't make in your driveway for example. You can do a full U-turn in a street but it is a tight fit. You won't be disappointed. It's a blast.

Kids love it!

Came shipped to my driveway in a very sturdy metal crate. It was pretty heavy so be sure to have someone help you move it into the garage. The assembly was very easy...directions were clear. It came nearly fully assembled. I just had to put the rear tires, steering wheel, and roll cage on. Starts up with a single pull. My seven year old drives it just fine. It's powerful enough for me to ride it with my 5 year old. It's a fun go kart that I see is getting years of enjoyment from!

So much fun!

This thing is a blast! We haven't had it long and have already had to do one oil change it's been ridden so much. The governed speed is plenty fast for my 10, 8, and 6 yr old kids. We were hesitant based on some poor reviews, but I'm glad we decided in favor, we aren't disappointed at all.

Exactly what we wanted

Arrived sooner than expected. Assembly went smoothly. Runs great. Dropped throttle limiter down two turns for grandchildren. After day #1, backed it off a half turn. Next time they visit, will back off another quarter of a turn. It's a basic engine. Nothing fancy but is perfect for what we wanted. Ground clearance is good. They run all over the yard, fields, and trails in our woods. There are a few places it can't go but that was expected (too narrow, too rocky, too steep). All in all, is great. The continuously variable belt drive ("transmission") is logical. Squeals a bit but we have the throttle dropped a little and that's causing it.

Enjoying every ride!

I bought this for my two grandsons (ages 11and 9) and they just love it -- it was so easy to assemble our 11 year old helped in putting it together. He even got online and watched the videos. He checks it all the time from oil to loose bolts. We are happy with the purchase so far.

Good times!

Great little go kart. Couldn't get the kids off of this thing. Took it out to the desert and it went for miles on a tank of gas (not sure how many). This thing tackled low level sand dunes (got stuck in anything over about 4 feet high). Price is a little steep. Weight capacity states 400 pounds although I am not sure about putting anyone over 250 on this thing. I am about 185 and it's cramped, but it'll go. Goes over 20mph without removing governor, which is plenty for the kids.

Best Go-Kart available for the price!

Best bang for your buck! This is the most reliable go-kart with the best features for the price. The 196cc engine has plenty of power for smaller riders, yet is still fun at 200lbs. Quality drive system, not just a centrifugal clutch. Quality brakes, decent suspension. Again for the price, best option.
