Riding a GoKart is a lot of fun and perhaps no age group enjoys it more than older youth and teenagers. They are developing the motor skills and ability to accept responsibility that go hand-in-hand with riding a mid-sized model.
As one rider said of GoKarting – “this is what fun feels like!”
At www.familygokarts.com we feature a full line of mid-sized GoKarts that will be great for your youth rider — generally those in the 8-15 age group. Of course, the proper GoKart for your youngster depends on several factors, including engine size, seat dimensions and operational features. Parents and grandparents need to take into account the size of the child or teen, strength, athletic ability and maturity. Safety features also should be considered, including seat harnesses.
As a parent or grandparent, you are to be congratulated if you purchase a new GoKart for your youngster and then provide personal supervision that stresses learning and safety. That way you don’t have to worry about your child or grandchild riding a GoKart somewhere else in a situation that may not be safe and responsible.
It’s a wise decision to purchase a well-built GoKart from a reputable company and avoid cheap and flimsy “toys” from a box store. You will be surprised at how affordable many sturdy models can be – they won’t break the pocketbook.
At www.familygokarts.com we have been delivering family fun for 30 years and can help you make the right decision and provide excellent service before and after the sale. We have the long-term track record and can provide reviews and sales and service history from our many satisfied customers over the years.
Go-Karting can lead to many hours of fun for the entire family and it gets your child outside for good recreational activity and away from cell phones and video games. It also places your young rider on the road to learning how to operate and maintain a vehicle, something that will prove useful in the years ahead.
