Quality go cart for little kid?

[2big bronco]

Do they exist? Kid is turning 3 in a couple months and want to get him something cool. He can ride his quad, atc, and motorcycle fine without training wheels and has been saying he wants to ride the neighbors go cart.... but it's a full size, and hes a small 2 almost 3 year old

Best I've came up with so far is starting with one of these, ditch the dump bed and build a solid roll cage and nice seat and have a mini tracked skidsteer tank thing. 2 levers like the old Bobcats to drive it.

Good luck finding something that small. Quality is a whole other issue. There are plenty of aftermarket parts to replace the cheap junk

I've looked pretty closely at them and it would be a ton of work to get/ modify one that he would fit

look closer, my daughter has spent some time in one, and they are easily adjustable.

Don't you have like 9 samurais on your property? Why are you even asking this question?

I had an fl350. Always keeping an eye out for a pilot that isn't 7k

I have CR125 shifter on a 2008 CRG chassis prepped by Swedetech for sale. I'm sure he'll grow into it. Full mychron3, champion radiator, 2 spare fronts & rears, quick adjust brake biasing, rolling stand, and tons of spares.

He drives the sidekick around. Can start, shift, and steer but no peddles. He also likes to purposely crash into things so a lightweight go cart with a full cage sounds much safer for everything he isnt driving.

I think you over/under estimating how small he is

You're welcome

You're welcome

I noticed you skipped over the part where he likes to crash things. I'm not worried about my sidekick but am concerned about my house, the wife's car, the deer, the barn, and all the other random stuff around.

Okay, hold on while I do another google imge search for something that has all of that in it too.

"Midgets driving a samurai" didn't come up with anything

Dunno, Neighbor just bought a new china cart for his kid and I helped him assemble it. It's light years better than what I had as a kid as far as quality. Honda clone that starts first pull, suspension, clutch that actually works, real brakes. People nostalgically forget how crap the old carts really were.

It's been sitting for a while so I'd both clean it up and have swedetech give it a once over before handoff.

I got accused of that sunday when I let him drive the tractor back to the house by himself. Put it in low and told him to shut it off when he got back. The wife was not amused when I said "hes 2 years old, how old should he have to be?"

If you really want a gokart not to be confused with a go Cart, then google Top Kart kid kart , average going price for decent used one is $1000 to $1500 ish ready to go , we start them racing at 4 yrs old and they go about 35 ish mph...

I really should have specified "off road". If I'm still here the 3 year plan includes a paved go cart track

Did you ever figure something out? I'm in a similar boat.
