I have a couple of cool videos if anyone can host them. Less than 5 megs total.

 

looks fun

 

I might be able to host one or both of the vids... PM me if interested

 

what the heck? you got to take it around Streets? haahhaha. Soooo cool. How'd you be able to take it out? got friends?

 

Rotax 125
Cool

 

That's too cool

::Takes a deep breath::
How much was it?
How fast can it go?
Is it powered by a Honda?
How hard is it to flip one over?
Does it use gasoline?
Can they be used as bumper cars?

I was kidding about the last one.

 

There was one in a Windy City Miata Club Auto-X event earlier in the year. Beat an S2000 by 5 seconds, I'd say they can go pretty fast

I can't answer your other questions.

 

1. $4700 + tax

2. Depends on gearing. On a long road course it theoretically maxes out at 90 mph. I was only running about 65 mph on that smaller kart track

3. No, by a Rotax FR125

4. Hard yes, impossible no. I spun it 3 times but never came close to flipping. Flipping usually involves rubbing wheels with another kart, and even then it is pretty rare.

5. Yup. 98 or 100 octane + fuel oil, it is a two stroke

6. Not with open wheels man! Would you want to play bumper cars at 70 mph!
