• Foldable electric go kart makes for a fun ride

    Ever dreamed of stepping into Michael Schumacher’s shoes and driving around a race track in one of those awesome cars? Well, what we’ve got here is a near-similar experience, not as fast, though equally exciting. Designed by Beau Reid, this go kart has been modeled to look like an F1 car and does a pretty good job at keeping the driver smiling through the track. Weighing just 65 pounds, this one scores brownie points for the fact that it’s electric and can also fold up to fit in the back of a car. Using a body and chassis made from carbon fiber, the kart uses lithium batteries to power up and can touch a top speed of 60mph, fast enough for an F1 miniature.


    A perfectly green way to spend a cheerfully joyful time around the race track, the one’s left us making notes on our wishlists.
