Getting Started With Go Carting
By Mitch Johnson, Fri Dec 9th
Modern American children have long favored the thrill ofrecreationally riding go carts as a pastime. The reason for thelong running popularity can largely be attributed to adultsacceptance of go carting for kids because they witnessed thesafety of it, as long as proper precautions are taken. Childrenas young as six-years-old are able to drive certain go cartssafely when the recommendations provided by go cartmanufacturers are followed. Helmets and goggles are a must forkids or anyone, even professional racers. If you are looking to quench your child’s desire for a set of gocart wheels, you should first know what type and engine size issuitable for young kids. Go carts designed for children havespecial features to better accommodate them, providing moresafety in addition to a smaller engine size. These models of gocarts are typically recommended for use of children ages sixthrough eleven. Kids under eleven should not ride a go cart unless it is thosethat are specifically marked for their age range. These juniorseries of go carts are the perfect beginner wheels for anyone,however they are sized small for kids, and those of you mucholder than the recommended age will have a problem with that.
These carts are useful for beginners because they offer extrasafety measures, such as padded brush bars, and smaller enginehorsepower. A small engine helps a new go cart driver keepcontrol, whereas larger horsepower could get out of control inthe hands of a child or amateur. The go carts designed for kiduse usually do, and should if they don’t, have horsepower at orbelow four. For any go cart driver, young or old, their position in the seatis an important factor for good and safe driving. You shouldalways be comfortable in the driving seat with enough, but notoo much, moving room between your feet and the pedals. Child gocarts are designed to position them in the safest, mostcomfortable
position where they can reach the pedals, steeringwheel and any other necessary functions. Adjustable seats are arevolution that has helped solve much of this problem. Nearlyany go cart style or design will have adjustable seating, so allyou have to do is find the right position. Although kids are a large part of the beginner audience of gocart drivers, they are not alone. Many people become interestedin cruising around in go carts later in life. Most go carts forgrown children and adults will not have engines smaller thanfour horsepower, but adult beginners do not usually need thatsafety precaution for too long. A small engine is only helpfulto adults for short term because it becomes too easy. Adults beginning go cart driving can be safe with a typicalengine, five to six horsepower, as long as they proceed withcaution. Some kid go cart models have a lap seat belt, butadults of all experience levels should wear shoulder slingsafety belts. Some go carts even have the race car driver doubleshoulder seat belts which are even better.
