Pedal Go Karts – The Timeless Toy

We all remember our first Go Kart and the hours of fun it brought us. It didn’t really matter what make or model it was ours and we loved it.

Back in the day when the cost of materials was higher and production techniques were not capable of producing some of the great Go Karts we see today many were home made. Dads would spend lots of time and money producing wooden Go Karts that for those of us that weren’t lucky enough to live on a hill required two people to operate them; a driver and a pusher. Turns at driving and pushing were taken throughout the day until the sun set or mom called us in for supper.

Look at the steering which is a length of rope threaded through two holes in the front axle plate. This steering mechanism would take some time to master and on tougher corners could often lead to over-turned Go Karts and scrapped elbows.

Today modern Go Karts are very different. Dad can hang up his hammer and nails and sit back and relax in the garden. No longer do we need to get our best friends or siblings to agree to push us around all day because we’re totally independent. With the introduction of pedals the driver is totally self-sufficient the only requirement is a big breakfast and lunch so we can keep going all day.

And that’s not all with proper steering mechanisms and pneumatic tyres negotiating the tightest corners and the toughest terrains are an absolute breeze.
