Should you buy an electric go-kart?
Whether or not you should get an electric go-kart really comes down to one question…do you want one? Nothing about an electric go-kart is necessary, but they can be a lot of fun. So, when it comes to answering the question of whether or not you should get an electric go-kart, what we can do is give you a few reasons why they’re great.
A price to fit most budgets
Electric go-karts come in a range of prices, from super cheap to very expensive. If you’re looking for a quick joy ride or something to simply occupy your kid for a few hours, you can find go-karts for around $500. These things take a few hours to charge and will last about a half hour on the road. But if you are more competitive and want to get serious with go-karting (or possibly even hit the track), then $1000 or more will get you what you need. The more you spend, the more speed, power, and durability you are going to get. So it’s probably best to set a budget, figure out what you want out of a go-kart, and shop accordingly.

As we said, they’re fun
Go-karts can let you speed around a track, on trails, or just around the neighborhood—and they can be pretty safe if you are willing to do the research to find the right ride. They’re also pretty easy to get the hang of. And a durable machine will last you for years. Electric go-karts have fewer moving parts than a gas-powered machine and tend to need repairs less frequently. So you’re more likely to be on the road with your hands on the wheel than stuck in the garage with your hands on a wrench.
Electric go-karts promote clean energy
One of the best reasons to get an electric go-kart (beyond the reasons we’ve already listed) is that you can have fun with them through clean energy. Electricity is a much more environmentally friendly way to power a machine than gas. Besides, electric motors are much quieter than gas-powered ones, so you’ll have a more silent machine and no harmful fumes that you have to worry about escaping into the atmosphere (or your lungs). There are plenty of great options for clean energy transportation, but scooters are fun and relatively safe for both kids and adults.
So, should you buy an electric scooter?
Sure! Why not? Electric vehicles of all types are the future of transportation. Electric scooters are fun and easy to use. Plus, the fuel isn’t very expensive, especially if you are getting it from your own renewable energy source—such as a solar energy system. Wink wink.
