Dylan’s ATK Pro

“Hi my name is Dylan Gatewood, I have autism but I sure like riding my ATK Pro go kart. I live in Charleston West Virginia USA.”


Go-kart evenings with Emmbrook Scouts

We held our first event on Tuesday evening with the Scouts using the ATK Pro karts.

They were a brilliant success, lots of fun had. Absolutely no failures. Looks like we should get a fair few years of use out of them.

Thanks so much for your support.

Ian’s own-design kart

I bought one of your kits some weeks ago and have built my own design of kart so that it could take more weight and thought that you might like these pics of the one I built for my grandsons.

A happy Grandpa in Germany

Hi John, many thanks for the Wheels and Axels, amazing quality and greatly admired here in Germany.

It's amazing how a project comes together and ideas from other "engineers" can be integrated into your own.

I used a "grown out of" (well known Swedish furniture stores) children's high chair for a seat and painted in his favorite colours, added a removable push handle at the back.

He loves it. Many thanks once again, you have made a Grandpa very happy.


Ian’s family go-kart project

Having built a go-kart using the kit you supplied my grandchildren have been having a great time using it.

A Defender, then a horse trailer

Just wanted to say thank you for the go kart parts that you have supplied, and to show you the results. I bought a set from you last year and built the Defender for a soap box race at my daughter’s school. Had to go one better this year, so bought a second set and added the horse trailer! Hope you like it.

Cherokee Thunder & Cherokee Flyer

What a cracking night we had..!!! photos from last nights extravaganza – what a way to end the Summer term for Scouts!!

I am proud to announce that the two go karts made by my lot, Cherokee Thunder and Cherokee Flyer, won hands down – both surviving the evening, running the fastest and going the furthest from launch.

Thanks again for being the inspiration for such a great evening.

Built together in Stockport

Just to say how much my Grandsons have enjoyed building and playing on the go-kart that we built using the wheels and axles that I was able to obtain from you.

We had been looking round for ages for suitable wheels, on Ebay and boot sales and when I found your website all our problems were solved - thanks very much.

Paul’s wheels put to good use

I thought you might like to know that your wheels have been put to good use. As far as I know, not a single ‘Silver Cross’ has been left wheel-less on bricks - nor a six inch nail bent in its cause! Our Grandchildren 1 & 3 years loves it.

Meet ‘Malaysia one’

Bank-holiday creativity

Please find attached photos of our completed go-karts. These were the kid's bank-holiday projects and they had a great time. I built the initial frames and then they were able to recycle anything in the house they could find to make the rest of the vehicles.

As you can see, some old kitchen chairs, dustbins, a few bits of MDF were all found and used. My daughter Chloe, Decopatched her car with pretty paper, while my son, Ben, completed his design with two cans of spray paint.

We hope you like them and we'd recommend the activity to any families for any wet bank-holiday!

Many thanks the great wheels, they are really fantastic and the kids are speeding down the local hills this morning!

Adrian & Kieron’s build

As promised please find attached photos of Kieron & his Go-Kart, and would like to say how much fun we had making the kart and thank you for the easy to follow instructions, as well as the wheels and axles!

Kieron & friends have had great fun playing on it so far!

A wedding-day surprise, 20 years in the making

I though you might be interested in the cartie I made, using your wheels and brake, for my daughter. I had always promised to make her one, but never alas got round to it.

That is until four weeks ago when I presented her with it on her wedding day – only 20 years too late! She seemed very pleased with it.

Teamwork in the classroom

It took 18 10 and 11 year olds 1 hour and 15 minutes to put together the Basic kart. They got no direct help from any adult in the room only guidance through questioning, if stuck.

We then took the kart on to the playground, I have to say I haven't seen my class so excited - they couldn't wait to get on it and get going!

Thank you again for such a quality kit if any of my wider colleagues, who work in bigger schools, ever want to make a Kart, I will pass on to them, your details. Truly Brilliant!

Feeling like a Formula 1 driver

It ended up just right, my grand-son phoned me last night, I had it delivered yesterday, he said it was really quick.

He had a pair of his Dad’s overalls on, and his bicycle helmet, he said he felt like a Formula 1 driver.

Your equipment for these is great.

A long-awaited go-kart

Just wanted to say thanks for all the advice - the kit was amazingly easy to put together, and we have an 11 year old boy (who has wanted to build a go kart for years now, but we have never gotten around to it...) who is very happy indeed!!


Reuben’s first race at Welton

Hi John - long time sorry, forgot to send you pictures of the 'finished article'. Raced it today for the first time at Welton!

So I wanted it to be completely wood but I needed decent brakes so I incorporated a mobility frame with its brakes into the design.

Richard’s custom-painted karts

Richard from Birmingham, Trail and BoxKart go-karts with an excellent custom paint job.


George’s build for a friend

Thanks for the information, a great help. I built the cart for a friend (for his grandsons) and will be handing it over in the coming week.

Just wanted to be sure I could guide him on the tyres. I will be sorry to loose the kart, it really is stunning with these wheels, no question!
