IN IDEAL CONDITIONS, THE MAXIMUM SPEED THAT CAN BE ACHIEVED IS 14 MILES PER HOUR (MPH) AND THE MAXIMUM RUN
TIME PER BATTERY CHARGE IS 60 MINUTES.
THE HARDER THE MOTOR NEEDS TO WORK, THE FASTER YOUR BATTERY WILL DRAIN AND THE HARDER IT WILL BE TO REACH AND
MAINTAIN TOP SPEEDS. THE FOLLOWING FACTORS WILL ALSO AFFECT HOW FAST YOU CAN TRAVEL AND HOW LONG CAN RIDE
FROM A SINGLE CHARGE.
· RIDING SURFACE – TRAVELING OVER A ROUGH SURFACE CAUSES FRICTION, WHICH CAN SLOW YOU DOWN AND REQUIRES
THE MOTOR TO WORK HARDER, WHICH DRAINS IT FASTER. WHEN POSSIBLE, CHOOSE A SMOOTH RIDING SURFACE.
· CARRYING WEIGHT – MORE CARRYING WEIGHT DECREASES ACHIEVABLE SPEED AND RUN TIME.
· RIDING STYLE – FREQUENT STARTING AND STOPPING WILL REDUCE RUN TIME.
· AIR TEMPERATURE – THE IDEAL TEMPERATURE FOR RIDING AND STORING THE GO KART IS BETWEEN 50-75°F (10-23.9°C).
· INCLINE – THE MOTOR HAS TO WORK HARDER WHEN YOU RIDE UPHILL, AND GOING AGAINST GRAVITY MAKES IT HARD TO
HIT THE MAXIMUM ACHIEVABLE SPEED. RIDE ON FLAT SURFACES WHEN POSSIBLE.
· BATTERY MAINTENANCE – TIMELY BATTERY CHARGING AFTER EVERY RIDE HELPS MAINTAIN BATTERY CAPACITY AND
STRENGTH.
IMPORTANT: WHEN THE GO-KART IS PUSHED BEYOND ITS INTENDED USE, AS A SAFETY MECHANISM THE MOTOR WILL
PERFORM AN AUTOMATIC SHUT-DOWN. IN CASES OF AUTOMATIC SHUT-DOWN, LET THE MOTOR COOL OFF FOR 30 MINUTES
BEFORE POWERING ON AND RIDING AGAIN.
