Operating Instructions

Starting the Go-Kart

To start moving, ensure the gear lever (located on the middle of the chain guard) is pulled forward for direct start. The rider then pedals forward to propel the go-kart.

Steering

The go-kart is steered using the steering wheel. Turn the wheel left to go left and right to go right. The responsive steering allows for easy maneuverability.

Braking

To stop the go-kart, pull the handbrake lever located next to the seat. This engages the dual brake system for effective stopping. The go-kart can also be pedaled backward.
