Lets start with this was the Christmas gift for my daughter and ordered at the beginning of December. My order started by being delayed and then once it arrived, finding out they sent a green go kart and not pink. Contact customer service and they did a good job trying to help but the pink go kart was now out of stock and my option was keep it, wait to see if the pink comes back in stock, or return it. By the time the pink was back in stock there was no time to do the return and have the new one in time for Christmas. So my daughter got a green go kart.... Assembling is straight forward but almost none of the screw holes line up correctly. Also to access the battery/motor compartment, you will need to remove the seat, I can see these plastic screw holes for the seat stripping out eventually if you need disconnect the plug for fall storage. I had also reached out to Hyper customer support via email on Dec 21st to see about getting the plastic panels in pink and have yet to get any response from them so good luck if you ever have issues with it.

Lots of fun! Drifts very well in the driveway. Grass drains battery quicker.

For the price, it's good. The kart has dual motors... each motor powers a wheel on each side. One of the wires melted against the board. I've had to re tin and rewire the motor to the board. It's not really a huge issue or repair, would if just rather not have had to deal with that. Also, the charge doesn't seem to last very long. It seems to depend on rider weight, speed, and settings. This might seem obvious. but explaining it to the kids kinda sucks.

Reaaly fun kart. I bought two of these for the kids to play with. The installation will require that you have a phillips head screw driver and you need both an 8 and 10 mm wrench. The installation of the steeringwheel can be a bit aggravating. I guess because my fingers are fat. I wish the hole the locknut went into was a bit tighter on the steeringwheel. The kids love riding on this.

It runs well and is a great go kart for less than 1 hour then you have to wait hours before it's charged again. I purchased based on a 4 hour runtime and would have even been happy with 2 hours however it doesn't even make it to an hour. Unfurtunately I can't return it which is a shame becouse it's more frustrating than fun

Seems to be good so far. Our child had only used it a couple of times.

This thing is a piece of junk. We had to replace it under warranty once within 3 months of having it for one of the rear motors burning out. Now the second unit has a bent front axle and a tire that is split in half. I would not recommend buying this without the extended warranty.

My son loved it when he first got it for Christmas. It worked exactly as advertised. Unfortunately it no longer holds a charge and is unusable now.

My daughter loved her birthday present. I did not think the car will run fast enough but it does. My second youngest is asking for the same birthday gift. I will definitely buy a second one, it is worth it. I wished they had more colors available like pink for example to not get them confused once we have the second one.

Great go kart fun to use. but as a parent I would definitely monitor my children while useing it. With the speed and no brakes it's hard for the kids to stop it.
I would recommend this to a friend

My son loves this go cart. It is fast. It has a drifting driving mode. It was easy to assemble.

I was able to assemble 90% by myself. Looks nice. Runs great for about 15-20 minutes. Will not hold a charge any linger after charging wee over 12 hours as recommended. Now I cannot get the company to answer or return my call. So not a very good recommendation.
