Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the easy assembly of the Drifting Go Kart Electric Ride On, with many finding it simple to put together in under an hour. The drifting feature is also a hit, with users describing it as awesome and easy to do. However, concerns are raised about the durability of the product, with some customers reporting issues such as wheels and wires malfunctioning after limited use. Additionally, the lack of brakes is seen as a safety concern, making it difficult for children to stop the kart.

    Great drift kart that the kids didn’t want to end!

    Easy to assemble with easy to read instructions including pictures. The one thing I didn’t like was that all tools weren’t included for assembly. It mentions that you will need a screwdriver that wasn’t included. The fist step of instruction also requires 10mm wrench. I had both of these on hand. I also purchased the hyper kids electric dirt bike and that product came with a screw driver and 10mm wrench so it seemed odd that the drift kart did not. Otherwise once I got it assembled and charged for recommended 12 hrs it was ready to race! The speed and power is perfect! Since the tires are a hard plastic to allow for drifting I could see it being hard to control with any more power. But the drifting is awesome. The kids were a little hesitant at first to let it slide but it didn’t take long to get comfortable. The battery lasted a little over an hour on a 12 hour charge out of the box. It does say it requires a full 24 hours to be fully charged but only recommended 12 before use. Overall the kids loved it and would have been on it all day if they could have. Kid rating 7.5/10 only because they ran out of battery charge 9.5 overall

    This drifting go kart is AWESOME! It goes fast, is easy to control / use, and so fun! I know this is for kids - but my husband and myself (who very much aren't children) have been taking it for rides around the block because it is so fun! Would recommend! The drifting is sweet!

    Sure, here's a draft for an email: --- Subject: Concerns About Cart Assembly and Durability Dear [Manufacturer/Customer Service], I recently purchased one of your toy carts and wanted to share some feedback about the assembly process and the product's durability. The instructions provided were somewhat out of order, which made the assembly process more challenging than expected. Additionally, some of the pieces were difficult to fit together, causing further frustration. I also noticed that the tires on the back of the cart are made of plastic, while the front ones have a thin layer of rubber. This difference in materials raises concerns about the overall durability of the toy, especially the back tires. Lastly the box came damaged and the front had some damage on it.

    We bought a red and green Go Kart for our boys (10 and 4) this year for Christmas. We are so surprised with the stability and handlings of these builds. It was super easy to put together which we were also very pleased about (given that we were putting them together on Christmas eve). Our boys were stoked and has loved every minute of using them! Even though they are rated for ages 8 to 14 our 4-year-old is able to ride it with no problems. The seat belts give us a little extra piece of mind when it comes to safety. We also purchased helmets and gloves to match which really completed the package.

    I was in the market of looking for small electric cars for my son, as he loves going for car rides. This is perfect because it’s something he can drive himself and it’s safe. The speed settings are good as well, as you can change between a lower speed and faster speed if needed. Putting it together was a breeze as well.

    The go kart was bought for a 10 year old. She loves it and it fits her well. It goes on grass, rock, and cement with no issues. The speed of 9 mph is perfect for her age.

    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 head of the bolt to lock the rear axle down busred on me with a few threads to go. But this was only 1 of the 2 bolts acting as a set screw. The kids love riding this.

    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.

    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.

    Bought for my 8yr old and he got the hang of “drifting” very quickly. The concept of this kart is great, but the wheels won’t last very long. Just running on sidewalks has a lot of wear on the wheels (all plastic). For now, my kid loves it. We’ll see how long it holds up.
