Specs & Features
The best way to start narrowing down your options is to decide how you plan to use your go-kart. Whether you plan to use it for recreational fun or for racing in competitions, this will help you figure out what specs and features to look for. One important consideration is the tires. Not all go kart tires are built to handle the same type of terrain. Some models come with hard plastic tires that are slick, which allows you to slide around corners when riding on asphalt or other smooth terrains. Others have pneumatic tires that are better for riding on dirt or grass.
You’ll also need to decide what type of power will suit you best. A go-kart is a device that can run off various types of power. A pedal kart is ideal for young children who want to learn how to steer and control a small vehicle. They’re lightweight and easy to maneuver, with the top speed being about 5 mph. An electric go kart is another option, which is another popular choice for younger riders. They’re heavier than pedal models but still fairly lightweight. The acceleration is impressive and a single charge usually provides about 40 minutes of riding time. A gas-powered go kart is another option, which is much faster than their electric counterpart. You’ll have to keep in mind that this type of go-kart will require the most amount of maintenance.
Budget
It’s a good idea to establish a budget before you start browsing. This will automatically eliminate the options that are out of your price range. You’ll also want to keep in mind that there are other important items to account for in your budget, like safety gear and maintenance upkeep. If you’re on a particularly strict budget, you always have the option of checking out the pre-owned market. If you go this route, make sure you do your research and shop with a reputable seller.
Research & Test Drive
Speaking of research, don’t forget to browse around and compare prices before you reach a decision. You’ll definitely want to see the go-kart for yourself before you commit to it. Perform an inspection to confirm that everything is functioning properly. Last but not least, go for a test drive before you put any money down.
