We’re getting well on the way with the design work for our umbrella holder. It’s the most requested accessory, and we apologise for taking so long to get it into production. We’re aiming to have it in available later this year, but that does depend on whether are any issues after it’s been prototyped. We can confirm it will be compatible with all GoKarts though, and we’ll let you have more news as soon as possible. In the meantime, here are a few pictures to show how it’ll work.

Tom,
It’s very overdue now, and we’re really sorry about that. It could be ready late January, but it may end up being February.
When was this page posted? When you say the umbrella holder will be available later in the year, do you mean 2008 or 2009. I am eager to order a new trolly from you. If I ordered a trolly would I be able to fit the umbrella holder myself at a later date when it becomes available?
Marjorie,
This post was made 20/06/08. We estimated we’d have the umbrella holder available during 2008. We’ve overrun unfortunately, but hope to have it ready late this month or early next. It is designed to be fitted as an accessory, so there’s no problem in fitting it after you get a GoKart
You are paying the price for raising expectations. Mail after mail castigating you for not delivering an umbrella holder. This wouldn’t have happened if you’d kept shtum and just astonished us with an announcement about availability when the time came.
So where is it then?

Hi Peter,
We rather like being open and letting customers know what we’ve got planned, and it seemed (then) that the timeframe would be reasonable. The design process turned out to be far lengthier that we’d all planned. With hindsight yes, we blabbed too early. Frustrating all round.
And we’re hoping it’ll be ready for the end of this month/early Feb. Great way of ensuring a dry spring. Ooooh did we mention our new brolley? (note to self SHUT UP!)
This is the only feature which was stopping me from purchasing one of these karts. For me this feature is essential when looking at yardage charts and deciding what shot to play in inclement weather.
When in 2009 do you expect to roll this feature out?
David,
We’re hoping to have it ready late January or early February. It’s been a long haul getting it right, but we’re nearly there.
I there anymore news on when it will be availible? also when will the seat be back in stock?
Peter,
We’re anticipating the brolly holder will be available late Jan or early Feb. We’ll let you know through our newsletter as soon as it’s in.
The seat should be around the same time.
Strange how most people are asking for it when most of the weather at the moment is cold and freezing and not raining. So a Feb/March/April delivery time I would have thought perfect. Next December I hear that the umbrella holder will have the option for an electric 2 bar heater. I did the engeineering thing and buy a universal brolley folder for 14.99 back in August and it fitted pretty well. Will buy the go-kart holder when Sandy gives the all clear as I’m sure that when it does come out it will do exactly what it supposed to, not break, stay up, easy to fit. Which I’m sure you will agree is not an easy engineering task giving some of our windy conditions. I may even get it free for being so positive!!!
Could hnave done with it on Sunday when it was raining hard any sign of it being ready yet
Hi Heather,
All ready to order now on the accessory page of the shop – £19 plus £4 postage and packing. Sorry you had a soggy Sunday.
I got the umbrella holder today but the umbrella dose not fit any one had the same problem its a really good umbrella so now have to get a new umbrella that will fit
Hello again Heather,
We’re really sorry to hear that your posh brolley won’t fit our holder. That’s a real shame. We did try to make it ‘one-size fits-all’ but sadly there is a maximum handle diameter of 35mm. Can you beg/borrow or steal a loaner until our lovely one is ready at the end of March?
could you please send me the Umbrella holder also the buggy seat if possible thank you
