Razor Electric Go Kart Ground Force Guide

Electric go karts have never been more popular–and Razor electric go kart ground force models are some the most reliable and high-performing units available.

Still, if you're new to go karts you might have a few questions about these ultra-popular products.

Here are a few questions we've gotten from our readers that will hopefully answer your questions as well–and help you make a good go kart buying choice.

Razor Electric Ground Force Go Karts Question No.1: Are they Safe?

This is probably the number one question we get at the go kart track. (I think what they really mean is: will this 300 dollar contraption break my kid's neck.)

Actually when compared to three wheel models, such as ATV's, or motorcycles, electric go karts are remarkably safer due to the fact that they don't turn over frequently.

That being said, there is still risk involved. The key thing is to set up some good safety provisions and let it fly.

Razor Electric Ground Force Go Karts Question No.2: What Safety Equipment Will I Need?

Well…seat belts for one. (Duh!) But I'm shocked by how many parents let their kids ride at the go kart track without these.

After you've got the belts set up, you'll want to make sure the go kart has a brush guard. This important safety feature is vital for keeping the go kart from tipping over, in addition to protecting the go kart in the event it hits something. (And it will hit something.)

Razor Electric Ground Force Go Karts Question No. 3: How Much Horsepower Should I Have?

People think horsepower relates to speed–it doesn't. AS with cars, it's a go kart's gear ratio that determines its speed.

Hp does affect the torque, which is why an 8 hp go kart will have more torque than a 5 hp go kart, but not necessarily run faster.

Okay…but what the heck does this mean when purchasing a razor ground force electric go kart? And how much hp do you gotta have?

Starting torque is the key factor with horsepower. You'll need enough to get going from a dead stop. But you don't need to go overboard with hp, especially when it's driven by a kid.

A good guideline is to shoot for a go kart that has at least 5-6.5 hp. This will be more than plenty for a go kart carrying a child–or a lighter grownup.

Try to stay away from engines that rest around the 3-3.5 hp level. These will have far too little torque to maneuver at the track.
