![]() Like the rental karts, some engines are often restricted for safety reasons, which limits the top speed of these 2-stroke engines to 112kph. Karts with these engines are ones that compete in karting championships across the globe. These engines are known as Touch and Go (TaG) engines, meaning there is no transmission, and the engine simply needs to be started and you are good to go. Now, let’s go slightly out of our budget and talk about racing karts with 125cc 2-stroke engines. Keep in mind however that because indoor go-karts have little space to work with compared to outdoor tracks, it is rare to hit the top speed as the tracks often feature a lot of tight corners and very short straightaways for the track to fit within the space given. For kid karts, they can achieve a top speed of 40kph, with the karts for adults topping out at 70kph. Most rental karts are equipped with a 200cc 4-stroke engine and its power is restricted for safety reasons. ![]() These can be usually found at indoor go-kart tracks and are a cheap option for casual racing. If you’re simply looking to have a good time with friends, then rentals are the way to go. ![]() So, let us look at the rental go-karts we find often and see it’s disparity to the top-of-the-line go-karts that compete and local and international competitions. This gap in performance is most evident in the top speed achieved. However, the power and overall performance of those go-karts do not even come close to what go-karts are truly capable of. When you ask someone who is not a fan of motorsports or racing in general, when they hear the term go-kart, the first thing that comes to mind are go-karts that you would usually see in an indoor track. ![]()
