Product Description
Why the Go-Kart Alley Standard Kit?
There are other kits out there, but a go-kart should be more than just a frame with wheels and a motor that moves it. It should have style and curves that captivate your imagination. It should move YOU! The Go-Kart Alley kits will definitely move you!
Vintage go-karts have a fond place in the hearts of many. Fans of Go-Kart Alley frequently remark that the go-karts are just like the ones they used to have. But acquiring an original vintage kart is getting harder and harder. They are either too hard to find, too expensive or too far gone to restore without a great deal of time, tooling and effort.
We restored a number of classic vintage go-karts for our web series. Once we began to think about producing our own kits, we took a look at our fleet of over 18 go-karts to get inspired! We went with a design that is the perfect blend between race kart and yard kart. Something that will give you superior handling on the track yet rugged enough to take the abuse you might give it off road.

The not-so-small print:
Remember, Go-Kart Alley is fiction. Go-karts are real, both real fun and real dangerous. Our stunts are carried out by trained drivers on closed courses under the supervision of professional stunt coordinators. It is vitally important that anyone riding a go-kart wear the proper protective gear. The rider should wear, at a minimum, a full-face DOT-rated motorcycle helmet, gloves and a helmet supporting neck brace. These items and other safety equipment are not supplied with the kits but can be found through many online or retail sellers.

Everything shown on the website for the kit arrived all together.

Electric...
I have put about 750 miles on this chassis now and the biggest issue aside from not getting the seat and brake for quite a while was the need to drill additional holes in the steering wheel plate so the wheel would be straight when driving straight. I did an electric conversion and the completed kart weighs ~310#, handles great (in dry weather... slicks), does 0-40 in ~4 seconds right now and it is good to go for both on and off-road driving. There is enough room to attach all manner of accessories such as lights, horn, cameras, fairing, extra seat cushioning, a dashboard, and even storage. I get a lot of compliments on the style of the frame, and I agree that it looks great. I could see building a second one on this frame as my sons get bigger...

Excellent company! Great product.
Fast shipping and a great price. I highly recommend Go Powersports! The go kart is just what I was looking for!

Great kit! Looks amazing, assembled with minimum...
Want a kart that resembles a vintage 60’s Rupp but will easily handle a large frame adult? It doesn’t get any better than this! Thank you Go Powersports!!!

Very Good, With a Few...
This is a very good kit overall. It is fun to build and drive. I recommend it.
There are a few areas where I suggest improvement or an "FYI" to potential buyers.
1) My frame is a little warped such that the front left wheel barely touches the ground. I noticed another reviewer had the same issue. It's not a big deal, but in the spirit of trying to make things even better, this might be an area for improvement.
2) There were no directions for assembly. Even something as simple as a few photos of a finished product would give us something to reference during a build. The designer ended up helping me. His assistance was excellent and should be provided prominently on the product sales or support page.
3) When I ordered, not all parts of the kit were available (the seat). But, I wasn't made aware of this until after my kit arrived. I suggest making shoppers aware of unavailable parts before they order.
Overall, this is a fun go kart kit that I heartily recommend. Does not come with an engine, FYI. -
Best kart money can...
I have owned , raced , and just played around with go- karts for 30 years now. This kart is just awesome , the costumer care that comes with it is the same . I don't think I can thank them enough, yes it is missing its seat right now but they have been in constant contact with me about the back order and have even given me an ETA. These guys and gals are busting there butts right now and they haven't forgot about us the costumer or the products they sell . Because of the quality of their kart and other products I have bought from them I am gonna continue to send my business their way!
