Metal Electric Go Karts for Kids

When purchasing a go-kart for children, it is most important to think about safety and ease of operating. Battery-powered go-karts do not require a gas engine or clutch and for these reasons are a good choice for children or beginners. Furthermore, engines powered by electric batteries are smaller than traditional gas-powered engines and therefore do not have as much horsepower or reach high speeds. Metal, steel and aluminum frames are very durable and can handle a lot of wear and tear. Unlike plastic or wood-framed go-karts, metal does not bend, break or dent as easily. Thus, metal frames are safer for children go-karters.

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
- Go-karts can be made of metal, plastic or wood.
  
  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.
Razor Ground Force Electric Go-Kart
- An electric 12-volt battery powers the Razor Ground Force Electric Go-Kart. The body of the go-kart is constructed entirely from steel. The Razor Ground Force Electric Go-Kart can reach speeds of up to 12 miles per hour and therefore is recommended for children over eight years old. The electric battery requires an initial charge of 12 hours and provides 45 minutes of drive time. The Razor Ground Force Electric Go-Kart comes equipped with two standard rechargeable 12-volt batteries.
