    Is it me or does that roof height seem awfully cramped, even for a kid.

    I would never let my kid play on a kart without a helmet, and im sure head+ helmet would never fit in that cockpit.

    When I was little i got the chance to drive a kart like that. It was kinda strange. It actually had power for being a little kid's toy. It was fun though.

    Hell better yet if you have a riding mower just take off the deck and grass catcher (if you have one on there) and have fun :)

    This 50k go kart (and most other karts) use the same damn briggs/stratton engines anyway. Actually they have leagues for racing mowers now lol

    I remember seeing that at FAO Schwarz when I was in NY. I would rather spend the 50k on the real thing like Dan says. If you want to get your kid a kart, and get them racing that would probably be a better spent $50k also. ;)

    With a 5HP B&S engine (and not a lot of details on the link I liiked at), this is probalby $35K too much. Hell, I posted both of my 120cc TAG karts (N. CA Section) at $2K and less and not one reply! Good luck to this seller in Santa Cruz!

    Yep, I saw some similar go-karts on TV at that same place, but they were more modern models.

    LOL... my parents allowed me to ride the tractor.. after a while they started telling me the best places to drive it.. next thing i know i mowed the entire yard.

    I used to get that john deer on two wheels and my grandparents snapper would pop a good wheelie.
