Go Karts

Go-Karts are available in many different shapes and forms. It is a small four-wheeled vehicle. Some are motorless and some are high-powered racing machines. Then, there are the Superkarts that are able to beat racing cars on long circuits. The simplest type of go-kart is the Gravity Racers referred to as soapbox carts.

The Amusement Park go-karts usually have a single seat and powered by 4-stroke engines or electric motors. There are commercial enterprises that rent go carts by sessions of 10 to 15 minutes. These have a sturdy chassis and provide driver safety gear such as helmets, gloves and driver outfits when necessary. Drivers can show up any time and drive at reasonable rates. Also one has a choice of using outdoor tracks or indoor tracks.

Go Karts

The Outdoor Tracks are mostly for amusement with low-speed karts that are powered by 4-stroke engines or electric motors. The faster, more powerful karts are similar to racing karts that are powered by 4-stroke engine with up to 15 hp and more rarely by 2-stroke engines and designed to be more robust for rental use. These tracks can be used for traditional kart races.

Indoor Tracks are generally shorter than outdoor tracks and are usually located in refurbished factories or warehouses in many of the larger cities in different parts of the world. The United States has nearly 80 indoor go kart tracks. These karts are generally powered by a 4-stroke gasoline engine with 5 to 13 hp or an electric motor. Many of these tracks offer competitive races and leagues. At the top level an Indoor Karting World Championship exists.

The engine's power is transmitted from the engine to the rear axle by use of a chain or a belt. The 4-stroke engines can be air cooled industrial based engines and with small modifications develop 5 to 10 hp. Manufacturers of these engines are Briggs & Stratton, Tecumseh, Kohler, Robin and Honda. Yamaha produces more powerful four-stroke engines.

One advantage of the Electric Go-Karts is "low maintenance" that requires only the lead-acid batteries be plugged into a charger after each run. The racetracks can be indoors because they are pollution-free and emit no smoke. The fully charged electric karts can run a maximum of 20 minutes. Other karts have been fitted with hydrogen fuel cells.
These Go-Karts are a lot of fun for both children and adults.

    I love go kart racing, and seems that my 5 years old son love it too. We attend such an event in the last weekends and really enjoyed spending gas go karts time together.

    Nice lens. Thanks for sharing.

    Nice lens. I think using 2 stroke engine can be wasteful of fuel.
