There are many go karts available on the market with different tire sizes and frames to choose from. Each go cart frame is jig welded for maximum strength and accepts most Tecumseh or Briggs & Stratton horizontal shaft engines with up to 5 horsepower.
That may not seem like a lot but for your 7 to 10 year old that is plenty of fun and excitement. The frames come unpainted so you will have to take care of that part yourself. Simply pick your paint color and have it professionally done.
Go kart kits also come with an assembly manual for easier building. You can also find the same companies to build mini bike kits as well. Even mini go carts are a blast for children and can be put together with little mechanical knowledge. One thing to consider when looking for a go kart kit is that you have a reputable company so that reliability is your main focus. Companies like Manco, Carter and Hammerhead are among the tops in the industry.
