How Fast Are Go-Karts?
1 Answers
Go-karts typically have a horsepower of 600, with common models reaching top speeds of 60-80 km/h, while sports models can reach 130-140 km/h. Here are some related details: 1. Introduction to Go-Karts: Go-karts originated in the late 1950s in the United States. They are divided into two types: continuously variable transmission and geared, and further categorized into recreational and racing models. Recreational models, also known as 'leisure karts,' are not very fast, with a maximum speed of 80 km/h, and do not require a 58 Auto driving license. Racing karts can reach speeds of up to 130 km/h due to their extremely low chassis (only 4 cm from the ground). 2. Driving Experience: Drivers perceive a relative speed 2-3 times higher than the actual speed, feeling as if they are traveling at 300 km/h. Particularly on turns, they experience lateral acceleration 3-4 times the force of gravity, offering a thrill unmatched by regular racing cars.
