Buying a Racing Go Kart

Hi, my name is Tommy and I am speaking on behalf of Expert Village. There's different karts for different age groups. This is actually an age group that runs eight to twelve, they generally run a motor that's about seven to ten horsepower, there's lots of different motors, the one that's real popular around here is the Gazelle, it's an electric start and it runs about eight horsepower. The karts run, top speed of about sixty miles an hour and like I say, they're an eight to twelve age bracket. Then we have the adult karts and there is different kinds of adult karts but the age generally for the adult karts is sixteen and up. The twelve to sixteen year-olds basically use the same size kart, just different motors for theirs. The karts run, you know, anywhere from zero to sixty times, zero to you know sixty in eight seconds, to zero in sixty and back to zero in less than five seconds on the top of the line karts. There's also different age brackets for the five to eight year-olds which is a kid kart and it runs about twenty-eight miles an hour. They are relatively inexpensive and it's a good way to get your kid into karting. The next group above that is this one here.
