ScooterX Sport Kart 196cc 6.5hp Off Road Gas Go Kart, Ships to California

Hi been looking for something like this for a while now, and glad that I could find one that shipped to Santa Clara! Thanks for the quick turnaround and the great kart.

Many reviews talked about the centrifugal clutch prematurely failing. We bought four karts for Christmas and have been running them hard for 4 days now on plenty of hills. I would say we have gone through two tanks of fuel per kart. They have 10 tooth SS clutches which are good quality clutches. So long as the clutch is hooked up and not slipping up hills they are fine. We have not burned up a clutch yet. The clutch is hooked up by about ten miles per hour. As with all these type clutches you have to oil the clutch bushing about twice a day. We used motor oil with a pump type oiling can. This requires removing the chain guard. I recommend drilling a hole in the guard to oil the bushing. Two week points of these karts are the thin chain guard mounting tab where it bolts to the engine and the shock springs are super stiff. The guard tab fatigues and cracks from vibration then eventually breaks. As far as the springs, I replaced ours with 2 v8 engine head springs per shock stacked on top of each other from a 60s model ford 302 or 351. Not sure if it was from a 302 or the 351 though. It made a big difference. Also dont forget to lubricate the shock rods. They are dirt cheap shocks. The provided wrenches are also weak. Use good quality wrenches to get hardware tight especially the two 24mm nuts that hold the front frame onto the main chassis. They come loose so tighten them well. The engines are great. No issues. Another tip is since the engine weight is in behind the rear axle, not much weight is on the front tires so they tend to not turn sharp. One way to fix this is to shift your body weight forward when turning. I found that leaning to the outside of the turn makes them turn the best. Overall for the price, they are decent karts.

Love the Kart - easy to put together and fun to ride

Fast, cute, starts on the first pull every time. Bumpy on our dirt roads but that's to be expected and smooths out on pavement. Good deal for the money and I would buy it again, in fact, I bought two.

It is fast and the best one for for under $1,000.
