To drift or not to drift? That is the question!
Even before you start to look at all of these different Razor go karts, you have to decide what type of driving you want to be doing. There are basically two routes that you can take.
Your first option will be a more traditional go kart like the Razor Ground Force. The Ground Force is geared more around getting your child familiar with steering, throttle control and braking. Overall, it’s a great entry level go kart. For the more advanced rider, the Ground Force Drifter and GFD Fury might be an even better option. These go karts still look very similar to the Ground Force but with one big difference. Razor has added slick rear tires that make it super easy for drifting.
Your second option will be the Razor Crazy Carts. These Razor go karts are geared primarily for drifting. They use caster wheels with a solid motorized front wheel attached to a steering wheel. This makes spins, turns, 180s and 360s an absolute breeze. The larger models even include a drift bar that will take your drifting to a whole new level!
Best Beginner Razor Electric Go Karts
Razor Ground Force
As we mentioned earlier, the Ground Force will be a great beginner go kart for your child. Your child will learn to drive the Ground Force by using the hand operated gas and brake. This can take some getting used to but with a little practice they will be racing through the streets in no time! This electric go kart is designed for riders ages 8 and up with a maximum rider weight of 140 pounds. The top speed of the Ground Force is 12 mph with up to 45 minutes of continuous use with a full charge.
Razor Dune Buggy
The second option for your new driver would be the Razor Dune Buggy. Similar to the Ground Force, you drive this go kart using a hand operated gas brake.

Razor Crazy Cart Shift
Your third option is the Razor Crazy Cart Shift. The Crazy Cart Shift is one of the best entry level drift karts that Razor offers.

The rear caster wheels along with this solid front wheel make drifting an absolute breeze. The Razor Crazy Cart Shift top speed is 8 mph with up to 40 minutes of continuous use with a full charge. It is designed for riders ages 8 and up with a maximum rider weight of 140 pounds.
Best Intermediate to Advanced Razor Electric Go Karts
Razor Ground Force Drifter
Your kids will be drifting through the streets in no time with the Razor Ground Force Drifter. The main difference between this go kart and the original Ground Force are the rear wheels.
