Every little kid would like a go-kart. There’s something so enticing about being able to drive your own powered vehicle and become the envy of the neighborhood. Here’s a ready-to-buy go-kart that’s parent friendly, inexpensive, and easy for kids to operate.

The long-standing issue with most go-karts is that they’re usually powered with a gasoline/petrol engine. They can be messy, noisy, and overall are not a great match for kids due to safety issues.

Enter the Razor GroundForce electric go-kart. It’s a rechargeable electric go-kart that does-away with the messy, flammable oils and fuels. Simply charge the batteries and then blast away at up to 12 miles per hour using the convenient thumb operated throttle. It’s built of durable steel with aluminum wheels and will run for up to 45 minutes on a single charge.

Grown-up kids (like me) need not apply though — there is a weight limit of 140 pounds. $240 seems pretty reasonable considering what you’re getting and the amount of fun it can provide.
