Summary: Lots of fun for my 8 yr. old boy (not for grass though)
Comment: My son has had a blast with this go-cart. It does great spins and goes at a nice speed. We also have the Red Razor electric scooter and I'd say the speed is pretty close. The go-cart does go a bit faster. It isn't great on rocky driveways or on grass, so make sure you have sufficient driveway space if you get it. I don't allow him to drive on the road with it because I am worried about it being rather low and perhaps drivers would not see him. If I'm on my bike or 4 wheeler I'll ride beside him on our small neighborhood road, but 98% of the time it's for our patio and driveway.
I'd recommend it for those who can handle steering and wide turn and perceptions for making those turns. Lots of fun. Pretty easy to assemble. Make sure you charge it just like the instructions say. Warn your child before he gets it that he can't expect to ride it right out of the box. It's a long 10 hrs. for them otherwise. Good luck and enjoy! By the way, these were about $50 more at stores here in town so I was happy to get it here on amazon.

Summary: Pleased
Comment: My six year old loves this go-kart. I just wish that it had a better turn ratio. You can only get a quarter of a turn on this. I thank thats a small set back to the product. Other than that we are very satisfied.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Bad turning radius
Comment: My boys (ages 7 and 9)love this go-kart. We have had it about a month and they ride it all the time. My only complaint is the turning radius. They can barely turn around in the road. Most of the time they have to get off and manually pick the front end of the go-kart up and move it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Fun --but exercise care with younder riders!
Comment: Just got the Ground Force over the July 4th weekend for 8 year old daughter who had a blast friving it. But she got over-confident and kept taking the curves faster and faster until...she got panicked and banged into the rear of a minivan. Luckly she wasn't hurt...but she was definitely shaken up. Please exercise care when letting children less than 10 year ride this fast machine.
Razor needs to improve the design of the steeing mechanism. The initial free play (and lacks of steering result) may prompt for too much more muscle input that coult lead to abrupt oversteer. The hand brake position forces the wrist to turn in, rendering the brake almost unsqueezable.
In summary -- a super fun toy for older kids that can become much safer with better steering and brake redesign.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good for the price, reasonable durable
Comment: Normally I dont write reviews but this product has inspired me to do so.
The pluses:
Easy to assemble, takes about 30 minutes at most if you are really slow
Faster than you would assume, the 12 mph speed is definitely plenty even for an ADULT
Can run with a 175lb adult no problem on a flat grade
Construction is reasonable durable for the price. The frame is very good but the tires/wheels are a little cheap and i could see them wearing out fairly quickly.
Low center of gravity, impossible to tip/flip, unless you are doing some kind of stunt.
The negatives:
Ground clearance is NOT a lot just a FEW inches so object in the road and quick Grade changes could cause a scrape. One of the lower parts is a drive sprocket so this could be an issue in the long term.
Steering is a little loose and requires a bit of force and the brake is very hard to pull for a child even 10-12 years old.
Unit WILL not drive with any slippery surface, my son drove on the grass in the evening and it immediately started spinning its wheel
Unit is SMALL, even my 10 year seems a bit LONG, and the driver will be sitting almost butterfly style with the legs spread. It is sized more for a 6 year old.
I agree with most reviewers this unit should NOT be for any child under 8 years old without adult supervision, my son is 6 1/2 and he had to be prompted to turn harder and slow down while i was RUNNING along side. I think any 9-10 year old could handle it though with some initial close guidance.
hope this helps.
Will fit in the back of any midsize SUV (honda pilot, explorer, etc
