Racing Karts

Racing carts are small, four-wheeled vehicles which may be referred to by different names depending on the design. Go-karts are commonly found at fairs and amusement parts. Gearbox karts are the only ones used in long circuit outdoor racing.

The different racing carts available will vary according to their speed ranges. For instance, some can travel at more than 160 miles per hour. These are known as Superkarts. On the other hand, many of the go-karts used at amusement parks are limited to a speed below fifteen miles per hour.

Racing carts designed for amusement parks may be powered by electric motors. These are low maintenance and generally require only the recharging of lead-acid batteries after each run. 4-stroke engines may also be used at such parks. Both 4- and 2-stroke engines may be used when it comes to sport racing.
