ApplePayLet me be upfront: this go-kart and I have had a complicated relationship.
When we got it, it was not exactly as advertised. As you can see in the photos, the gas can lives directly above the driver's head — a bold design choice we did not request. It also has no brakes. It does, however, have a gear shifter, which makes perfect sense given the circumstances.
When it runs, it absolutely rips — 45–55mph, depending on how many Twinkies you've had that week. The speed is not the problem. Stopping is more of a philosophy.
I cleaned the carburetor, which represents the full ceiling of my mechanical abilities. During reassembly, the throttle got stuck wide open. My only option to shut it down was yanking the spark plug wire — a shocking experience in every sense of the word. My son's vocabulary has since expanded considerably.
What you're getting: The kart Extra gas tank (so you can relocate it from "over the head") Brand new throttle cable (never installed — see above story) Extra sets of wheels Our help loading it on your trailer — because we're not starting it here again Brakes (All gas. No brakes. As they say. For real.)
$250 — because it HAS to be worth that to someone who actually knows what they're doing. No lowballs — I have dignity. Barely.
