May 28, 2009 More Saving
Wouldn’t you like to spend your Saturday or Sunday going for a spin on your new go kart. Growing up as a kid like most boys I always wanted something motorized whether it was a dirt bike, go cart or ATV’s of some kind.
My father thought motorcycles were too dangerous so a go cart for us was the next best solution. They are on four wheels and thus safer than the 2 wheeled counterparts.
Go kart racing has evolved with the times. Go karts now are much more technical and very fast for some models. They will run as fast as 80mph for some 2 stroke models. The Superkart will go as fast as 160 and can be very dangerous.
hough dangerous they can be safely handled and slowed down with a governor which is installed on most models to help control the speed at which a child can go. It can be adjusted to slower or faster depending on you desired speed.
Go Karts range anywhere from 250 up to 800cc and get get as fast as 65mph which is for adults only of course. Go cart racing is also becoming a popular sport in many states. Several Nascar drivers started out racing go carts and evolved from there as children.
Go Carting is the most popular motor sport in America. The off road aspect of go carts is widely appealing to many young kids. The best places to find go carts and go cart parts are at local hardware stores like Pep Boys.
In addition, with the roll caged go karts, seatbelts and arm restraints are required. Go kart frames are built of steel, and the body is typically made from fiberglass. They have a high-tech braking system that uses a set of rear disc brakes, and they feature a super-responsive, straight-steering system.
To decide if your child is ready for go kart racing make sure you test their skillset and also get them out on practice track to see if they can handle the environment
