How much is a proper go-kart? ›

The price of a kart varies depending on the class, age, manufacturer, spec and engine type. Depending on your chosen class a brand new engine and all the ancillaries cost anywhere from £800-£3500. A brand new mini/junior/Senior setup including chassis and engine will cost around £6000.

The engines are quite stout. I've seen some come through the shop with 80+ hours and no maintenance. Not advisable but it can be done. I have seen very few let go at the 40 hour mark, but it does happen.

Most rental karts are equipped with a 200cc 4-stroke engine and its power is restricted for safety reasons. For kid karts, they can achieve a top speed of 40kph, with the karts for adults topping out at 70kph.

Go-karts with a higher cc rating mix more air with gasoline and operate at higher speeds. A 50 cc kart can travel up to 35 mph, whereas a 125 cc kart can reach 70 to 80 mph. At 250 cc, the fastest go-karts can travel up to 150 mph.

Go-karts designed for kids typically have a lower speed range for safety reasons. On average, children's go-karts can reach speeds of 10 to 25 mph, depending on the engine size and design.

Essentially, the bigger the cc, the better the kart's performance in terms of speed and acceleration. A 270cc kart can reach speeds of between 60-80 mph.

Once kids master the Kiddie Go-Karts (and grow a few inches), they are ready to try out the Rookie Go-Karts! They are bigger and faster, and the track designs are larger ovals. The Rookies really help kids get more comfortable behind the wheel before moving up to the "grown-up" tracks!

Based on experience we know that an investment to create a karting center is not relatively low. However, the ROI is remarkably high. A project that has invested over $1,500,000 could receive the ROI as early as 1-2 years.

If it's installed on the engine crankshaft properly, without using the “magic hammer” to pound it on the shaft, using the right length key (1/2”) and observing all the hints that are pointed out in this article, a clutch should last several years.

On average, a kart weighs between 150 to 175 pounds (without the driver).
