The drifting go kart is all you need to start you on the course to becoming the greatest race car driver that ever lived, right from the comfort of your own backyard. This zippy little go kart is great for kids and delivers the unique experience of speed that comes with open wheel racing.

The drifting go kart may look like a toy (and it is) but don’t let that distract you from the fact that it is also a capable racing machine. Whoever thinks toy cars and go karts are not meant to be fast is in for a rude awakening. Powered by a 24 volt (two 12 volt cells) sealed lead acid battery, this “toy” can reach speeds of up to 12 miles per hour (19 kph) and because it is driven by an electric motor you feel the kick of an instant torque when you press the throttle.

The kart also has a sturdy, raced tuned chassis with front and rear bumper guards and a seatbelt for the rider, for maximum safety of the driver. Both the throttle and brakes are operated by hand, with acceleration delivered via a powerful, variable speed, chain driven motor. As with all forms of racing, you should use a helmet when riding in this kart, along with some elbow and knee pads for added protection.

Moving fast in a straight line is not all this go kart is designed for. Its other party trick is pulling off massive drifts around corners. Why go straight when you can go sideways? When approaching a corner at the right speed, a quick flick of the control wheel while pulling the handbrake will send you drifting into the turn while maintaining your speed. What’s more, the spark bar attached to the handbrake will generate a shower of sparks every time you use it, making your drift sessions even more amazing. The Super Slider POM rear wheels on this go kart will ensure you always perform a drift when you need to while the slick racing tires in front maintain your grip and acceleration on the straights. Both are built to last so you won’t be replacing them anytime soon.

Suitable for kids from 8 years and above, if your children have ever shown the slightest interest in a career as a race driver, then the drifting go kart is perfect to get them started on that path.
