About Go Kart Daddy
From a family project to a specialist go-kart business
Founded in 2005 by John Roberts, **Go Kart Daddy** began with a simple family project: building a DIY wooden go-kart for his children.
The problem was that finding the right wheels, axles and other components wasn't easy. Suitable parts were difficult to source, and there was very little available specifically for people wanting to build their own wooden go-karts.
John spotted an opportunity to help.
What started as a basic one-page website selling wheel and axle sets quickly developed into a specialist business supplying go-kart components and complete kits to customers across a wide range of projects.
Helping people build their own go-karts
Over the years, Go Kart Daddy has grown from its humble beginnings into a business focused on providing practical products for **schools, colleges, team-building events, community projects and families**.
Our products are designed to make building a wooden go-kart more straightforward, whether you're taking on a classroom engineering project, organising a group activity or simply looking for a fun family DIY challenge.
From wheels and axles to go-kart kits and components, we aim to provide the parts you need to turn an idea into a working kart.
Built from experience
Because Go Kart Daddy was born from a real DIY go-kart project, we understand the challenges involved in sourcing suitable components and figuring out how everything fits together.
That hands-on experience continues to shape the business today.
We have supplied products for a wide variety of projects, from individual family builds and school projects to larger group activities and team-building events.
