Yes, it is Monday morning and you may be rubbing your eyes to get a better look at this creation, dubbed an “adult go kart” by the seller. Stop. No matter how much you rub, it’s still going to look the same. The person selling this thing claims to have gone 90 miles per hour on it! We went 35mph on our old Worthington tractor and were one errant pebble away from the hospital, 90 on this contraption may as well be the speed of light.
The stats? It has an unidentified six-cylinder engine and a power-“glyde” transmission with a claimed 25 miles on it. Oh, we forgot to mention that the motor was knocking. To stop–yes there are brakes–you use the emergency brakes on the rear axle that work independently of one another. There are no pesky front brakes to worry about.
Like any proper foreign sporty car, the driver sits on the right side, and rides in comfort on a seat that looks like it was removed from a 1980s Delta 88. We’re shocked that the seller didn’t tout the extra storage space given by the pocket on the rear of the seat.
We have no idea what chassis this machine is based on.
If anyone decides to buy it, we’ll run the video camera on your 90-mph run. We’ll also be the executor of your final will and testament.
Thanks for Jon Sandahl for tipping us off to this one!
