Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
From fun zones to pro tracks, go-kart racing is a stable of American entertainment. Now you can bring the fun home with you like never before with the Ground Force Drifter kart. Based on the original Ground Force, the Drifter offers such features as low-profile cast-aluminum wheels, a sturdy steel frame, and an upgraded rear axle for increased maneuverability. The kart's variable-speed, chain-driven motor, meanwhile, travels at speeds of up to 12 miles per hour, making the Drifter a force to be reckoned with.
The features that really set the Drifter apart, however, are the race-tuned chassis and super-slick rear wheels, which let you power slide through corners, throw fish tales, or perform fast 180s. Add in a thumb-trigger acceleration control and hand-operated rear brake and you're ready for a serious go-kart adventure. Other features include a pair of 12-volt batteries, which deliver approximately 45 minutes of drive time per charge; molded aluminum wheels and solid rubber tires; such safety features as a safety flag and durable bucket seat with a shoulder strap; and all the necessary tools for assembly.

The Ground Force Drifter supports drivers weighing up to 140 pounds and is backed by a 90-day warranty. It is designed for controlled environments free of potential traffic hazards and not public streets.

I just got this for my kids, who are 5, 7, and 14. They love it! The 180 degree turns are fun, but it can also be controlled at slower speeds. My 5 year old isn't ready to go all out yet, and he uses the throttle lightly for a slower ride. It seems very safe as long as it's used away from traffic and obstacles. Definitely for paved areas, not grass.
Charge time is 12 hours, so it can only be used once a day in general. It was 40 degrees F today (about 4 degrees C) and we had it out for an hour. With downtime for changing riders, I'm guessing it lasted for about 40 minutes of ride time. Maybe it'll last longer in warmer weather.
It went noticeably slower with the 140 lb. 14 year old riding, but was still fun for him. Razor tends to give age recommendations that seem high. This is probably good for ages 5 - 12. Teens will want something more powerful.

I have mixed feelings about this cart. My seven year old son loves it and he has a great time riding it. My issue is that the chain has been slipping off the motor since the first drive. I have to repair the chain almost every time he rides it. My next issue is the tires, they are terrible! The tires began to shred off after just a week of driving. So far I haven't found a store that sells replacement tires, it looks like I'll have to buy them online and pay shipping costs. This cart was far too expensive to have such major problems.
**Updated**
The tires were completely ruined after five weeks of driving. The customer support at [...] is no help. The only place you can buy these tires is on their website and you will pay $27.99 for the back tires, $16.99 for the front tires plus $13.00 for shipping. And remember you will have to replace the tires every two months. This toy is great fun, but why bother if you have to spend $60 every two months to replace the tires?! Don't waste your time and money on this kart.

Bought the cart for my sons ages 7 and 11. Worked great initially, but after owning it 10 days or so the rear tires are literally shredding off the rim creating an almost oval shaped tire making the cart almost unbearable to ride in. Cart, however, is well made, goes fast enough for them and is still safe. If anyone else has tire issues I would appreciate some feedback.

Great fun!!!
We have not had any problems with the GoKart. I was surprised how long the battery seems to last forever between charges. The kids love it.
