Electric Batteries
Unlike traditional gas powered go-karts, electric powered go-karts are more environmentally friendly. They do not produce toxic fumes and gases such as carbon monoxide. Furthermore, owners do not have to worry about storing, spilling or leaking gas and oil. Best of all, electric powered go-karts do not require the added cost of purchasing gasoline on a regular basis. Electric batteries have to be charged on a regular basis and can provide upwards of two hours of riding time. They are also quieter and easier to use than gas engines because all one has to do to start the engine is turn they key in the ignition.
Metal Frames
Go-karts with metal frames are most commonly constructed from steel. Two-seater steel framed go-karts usually have a welded steel rollover bar that provide extra support and safety for the vehicle. Although metal framed go-karts are heavier than wood or plastic frames, they are more durable and last longer overall. Aluminum is a lighter metal to consider and is still strong and durable.
Blade GK Battery Go-Kart
The Blade GK Battery Go-Kart is an electric battery powered go-cart recommended for children ages three to seven years old. The frame is heavy gauge welded steel, meaning it is very durable and will last for many years. The rechargeable electric battery powers a 10-amp motor that can reach up to five miles per hour. This is a great model to purchase for young children with little to no experience on a go-kart. The standard Blade GK Battery Go-Kart comes with two 12-volt batteries that last anywhere up to two hours before needing to be recharged.

The Razor Ground Force Electric Go-Kart comes equipped with two standard rechargeable 12-volt batteries.
