Coleman Powersports Off Road Go Kart, Gas Powered, 196cc/6.5hp(KT196-BL), Large, Blue

The go-kart is shipped in a steel angle iron crate. Assembly is fast and easy. The hardest part is disassembling the crate. (Power driver is a must, in my opinion, with a 10 mm socket.) It comes with a tool kit of everything you'll need to put it together and maintain it. Assembly takes about 2 hours, including all the tube padding. I have a problem with the parking brake not working, but I'm pretty sure it's just an adjustment to the spring mechanism, I have to push the locking pin in to get it to work. Assembly is only the rear wheels and the cage, basicly, and all the padding.Only basic skills needed to assembly. Added only about 2 oz. of oil and it was full. (oil cap and dipstick are very hard to get to, on the rear of the motor, behind the seat back.) Started on first pull.My 10 year old granddaughter simply loves it. So far it seams to be a safe, well made kart. ( Don't forget helmets)

Very easy to assemble, but after just a few hours the clutch belt broke, leaving my 4 grandsons very very sad on Christmas Day. It uses a weird size belt that absolutely no one locally carried . Took 3 days to get a replacement. If you buy this make sure to order extra belts. It goes thru one every few hours of running . I would expect an item in this price range to last longer

Assembly was easy enough and kind of fun with my 12 year old boys. It arrived packaged very well, with a sturdy steel cage around it for protection during shipping.There's a little sign that says we needed to add oil, but it was full. A gallon of 93 octane gasoline and we were in business. Perfect for younger kids, and sturdy enough for an adult to sit inside also.My boys are about 20-25 lbs different in weight, and they managed to roll the kart early on but they were not hurt and the cage did its job. That said, my son's arm went flying out of the top when rolling, so he was fortunate not to break it and I've been thinking about getting mesh for the sides and top.We shredded a torque converter belt within an hour of first use, then another after another hour of use so there seems to be a chronic issue I'm now facing. It's under warranty but will need to waste my time and energy bringing it in and waiting for a diagnosis. Will report in once I figure out what's up. Coleman is very good with customer service, so hopefully this is something isolated to my situation.

We have had this Go Kart for about a year, Just to clear a few things up nothing has had to be replaced, Only thing I’ve done to it is proper maintenance on oil and filling it up with diesel 😂 joking obviously gas. This go kart has BALLS, There is a throttle screw that you can adjust I just yoinked it out so it can go it’s fullest speed/rpm, There is another way to make it faster to which I DO NOT recommend basically taking out the governor which I have not done and don’t plan to. My brother is 130 pounds and he was ripping in the snow, I am 6’2 250 pounds and I even rip in the snow! Not recommended but we attached a rope and attached a plastic sled to the back and it pulled me and my brother! The max weight capacity is 400 it says. Me and my brother are close to that and it handled just fine in SNOW, Also I am really impressed on how good it is on ice it actually has pretty good grip you know if you had some ice in your backyard you shouldn’t have to worry to much. Overall very impressed also for delivery I was lucky, The delivery guys where able to bring the big box all the way back to my shed (this is when it was warm out and no snow) I heard many complain about them dropping it off right in the front but I guess it depends on what type of delivery guys you get. I have had one problem in the past that is now fixed, The Torque Converter has come apart on me somehow randomly one day it went into pieces but I was able to find all the parts off the ground and reassemble it with nothing broken. JUST A TIP: Make sure you occasionally check to make sure all your bolts and stuff are tight (especially when you first assemble it) I believe that is what caused my torque converter to come loose. One more thing careful leaving it running the go kart started moving slowly on its own by its self occasionally I’m going to look into that could just be the throttle getting stuck cause of cold weather nothing major though. Hope this review helped but yes it is pretty overpriced but I still bought it. One more thing if you read this far, We have flipped the go kart 😂 kids being kids you know. We had helmets on but where not buckled and the roll cage held up to me and my brother. There was no damage and no injuries so when the go kart comes in make sure you install the roll cage correctly and you will be safer than ever!

First off it arrived a day late after waiting a few weeks ... not that big of a deal . But I unbox it and pull everything out to set it up and there is ABSOLUTELY NO HARDWARE to be found in it , not a bolt , washer nor nut to be found pretty disappointed in that so I went to my local hardware store and picked up what I needed hot home and put it together .... fueled it up and pulled it .... it starts but will not stay running something is rattling in under the carb on the throttle so now I must pull it apart ..... will update review after I finally get it running !.? Update.... have gotten it running like a champ kids love it .... still getting 3 starts because I had to spend $40+ in hardware to get it together ....

Probaly the best idea that I had in a while easy to install when I got it in a full crate super fun for all ages mine I have it able to do about 40mph

Save your money and your time. We have had nothing but problems from day one.First, it somehow came still wet. The blue paint came off on my hands upon delivery…guess they thinned it too much.Clanking and lurching from day one. Throttle stuck a couple times. … motor killed when I stomped brake…THEN the pull start went out completely and I turned it in on warranty. Very slow process. Took forever for authorization and again for the payment to the repair shop. November-April. We finally got it back yesterday, the chain popped right off…. And now I see the cracked frame that is causing the sprocket to tip sideways, dropping the chain. Back to pursuing warranty again. Sigh. Seriously don’t put yourself through this.
