Go Karts - Types of Go Karts 2t3g1c
Go karts come in many different sizes, speeds and styles. Here are the three main types of go karts.
- Buggies - These go karts are strong and are built generally for sand dunes. They typically reach speeds of 60 miles per hour and can fit up to four people. Drivers under 16 years old are not advised to drive them.
- Trail Go Karts - Just as the name suggests, trail go karts are designed to go on mild terrain. As far as performance goes, these karts are generally a cross between buggies and yard go karts. They can go 35-40 miles per hour and have the ability to go off road but are not as powerful as a buggie.
- Yard Go Karts - These are the most basic and common form of go karts. They are generally used by kids under 16 years old, and are often seen in neighborhood streets or parking lots. Some of the yard go karts that are designed for kids under 10 years old only go 15 miles per hour. Other yard go karts can go up to 30 miles per hour.

Go karts are motorized vehicles that go a lot faster than a bike or neighborhoods, you must watch out for cars, especially cars backing out of their driveway. Typically go karts are low to the ground and are hard to see - so you need to be extra careful. That's why it's best to ride in parking lots or closed courses.
