For little EV drivers who love Mario Kart as much as you do, Radio Flyer has this -- the 24v Ultimate Go-Kart!
What’s more, the 24v battery in the UGK seems to charge up faster than the 12v unit in the Volvo. Not sure if that’s an age thing with that battery, but when I brought it up to Radio Flyer’s Chief Wagon Officer Robert Pasin during one of my recent trips to their Chicago factory, he didn’t seem surprised. “We looked at all the pain points parents had,” he said .
With full torque available at 0 rpm, the UGK’s acceleration seems pretty instantaneous — both from the point of view of a 5-year-oldthat of an over-protective suburban dad. The kart seems to be standing still, then going 8 mph, with precious little in between.
The “slick” tires are hard plastic, and look like they’ve lived a hard life after just a few hours of play. Some of that may be down to the older kids trying to “drift” the kart, but that should be expected behavior. I’d like to see rubber tires for durability, but acknowledge that change might ruin the kart’s ability to drift. As I type this, it occurs to me that the Radio Flyer guys have probably spent a lot of oxygen on this trade-off.
Beyond that, the UGK is an absolute blast, and my kids absolutely love it. As a parent I’d also like to see a removable battery that could be more easily carried up stairs to charge indoors and maybe a more easily adjustable seat to speed up the transition betweenlittle drivers, but I’m just nit-picking at this point. Your kids won’t think of either of those things.
