- Electric karts bhp = 16 bhp compared to petrol
- With 7 bhp or 50cc scooter 4bhp. A 125cc
scooter=12bhp and indoor karts = 9 bhp
- The heavier weight of an electric kart means you are
less likely to be at a disadvantage if you yourself are heavier
- The weight ratio makes them impossible to tip or roll
- Electric karts are less noisy with no nasty fumes and
kinder to the environment.
- Our electric karts are the fastest in london with top
speeds of 50mph
- The acceleration is far greater than a twin engine
kart at top speed in 0-4 secs
