Go-Karts

  

No hidden fees!

Your kart be assembled and running -- just add sales tax.

 

Think the go-karts at the mass-merchants are a bargain?

We have some of the thickest (strongest) frames on the market.

Parts are very difficult to obtain for many mass-merchant karts, and where are you going to get service for them?

At Reliable Go-Karts, we choose the "best of the best" for our customers.  Since we're not locked into just one brand, we can be objective about go-kart selection.  We:

  • Service what we sell (on-site)

  • Provide parts for what we sell (many in stock)

  • Completely assemble and perform "make-ready" on your kart before you pick it up

 

"You don't always get what you pay for,

but you always pay for what you get."

* Right:

Picture was taken with rear wheels off ground ... kart will not go that fast (top speed in "low" was about 25 mph with 300 lb. rider).  We haven't tested the top speed in high under load, due to space limitations (the police get upset if we get on the highway).
