Hi, I’m looking to see what’s the easiest setup for casual karting.

What is “casual karting”? Being able to just take it for a spin in my neighborhood, make a mini autox track to race against down my driveway / parking area, time trialing myself just for my own learning and fun.

I’ve driven karts before, taken cars to a track and have experience and have tools, garage space , and worked on cars.

I’d prefer a fully out of the box kart package such as this

But I don’t know what’s good or right for my simple needs.

I don’t care about top speed , but as long as it can hit 20-30mph that’s plenty. I’m looking for safe(r) fun and more focus on technical driving and mastering a “track” that I can build and change as I see fit.

I don’t want an off road go cart, and I’ve looked at the ninebot go kart pro which looks good for what I’m looking for. But, I’d also like a real kart that can be maintained , repaired and updated as needed easily.

I don’t plan to kart race, but this is my track replacement during covid and much cheaper cost to run than a full spec track car.

Any thoughts or recommendations?
