Kart Safety

Your safety matters to us ⛑️!

Our purpose-built karts provide the rider with full control over their speed and direction using a unique braking and steering system. It's simple to use, just pull back on the handlebars to slow down or stop and release the handlebars slightly to accelerate. Before you head down the track our team of instructors will provide a full briefing on how to ride and steer the kart. 

Downhill Karting Code of Conduct
