Gripping stuff

Here’s a sneak preview of a change we’re making to the GoKart wheels.

To make best use of our famous furiously frisky motor, we’ll be bringing out a grippier wheel to get that all that power transferred more efficiently. Needless to say, any existing owner suffering wheelspin problems will be able to get hold of a new pair of wheels free of charge. More news on availability soon.

Please note, there’s no need to tell us now if you’d like the new wheels. Please keep an eye on our newsletter; we’ll let you know as soon as we have them available.

  1. Excellent !!,

    Golfing in probably the wettest part of the South West , near Princetown
    Dartmoor – no not behind those walls, I certainly need a pair (I would pay)

  2. Hi Gokart stuff.
    My Gokart is fantastic,but after this weekend,rain all days, I have wished
    to have the new gripper wheels.The course is very slippery.This wheels
    are great idea – O.Kucera.

  3. I can outrun any other trolley at the club will be even better with more grip pity you dont make drivers

  4. Please put me on the list for the new wheels when available.After sales service like I’ve never known before.Small problem resolved the day after sending email,great company.

  5. New wheels should be a great improvement but the existing ones allow me to do a party trick on wet grass of a full power wheel spin on the slop up from the 11th tee when the wheels spin furiously and the trolly does not move an inch. Love my GoKart best trolly I have ever had

  6. Great news about the impending release of the new wheels & front gaurd, could you please keep me informed of the release date as I would like to transform my amazing trolley into an even better one.
    I have now had my Go-Kart 6 months & I must say that I am absolutely delighted with it.
    The only other accessory for me would be a brolley holder since I live in the NE of Scotland it really is a necessity, can you let me know of the current status of this please?

  7. My GoKart is now 16 months old and recently my battery charger failed. One telephone call and twenty hours later I had a new charger free of charge (No pun intended). This company are not only exceptional for their after sales service and responsibilities but also for the family attitude they adopt when dealing with their customers. This great gesture of offering their latest modifications and ideas around to their customers is very generous and typical of this companies honourable intentions towards it’s customers.
    I realise this space was intended to talk about New wheels, but I had to express my gratitude somewhere, and yes! my Kart could do with a set of new wheels, as the treads are getting very smooth!!!
    Thank you GoKart

  8. Very happy with golf cart unhappy with the slopes on my course need grippy wheels and front bag support

    Many Thanks

    Herbie

  9. I am really pleased that you are bringing out the grippier wheels and new wheel guard.
    I have been suffering of late with grass getting stuck in the front wheel due mainly to the exceptionally bad weather.
    I have had a few problems with my kart in the past but your excellent response in dealing with them is second to none.
    Please could you put me on the list for replacement wheels and front guard.
    I am also keen to know when the brolley holder will be launched!!

  10. I too have been having problems with the wheel spining and the front wheel clogging.
    Please could you put me on the list for replacement wheels and front guard.
    I am also keen to know when the brolley holder will be launched

  11. To combat our beautiful summer and to be ready for winter golf up in Yorkshire grippy wheels and a non grass collecting front guard would be a great addition to an already a much admired product

  12. Great product! Just played Addinton Palace and the gokart was admired by many – unlike my golf on the occasion!. Would you have any small leaflets or cards? It would make my life easier rather than give the life history of the ‘gokart’ when I would rather be in the 19th. The sort of questions I get are – where to get one and – is it a new type of powercaddy or a hilly billy, and how much….?!!! etc.etc. Great cart and once I got to grips with pushing the battery firmly down I have not had a problem with it over the last 9 months. Brolley holder!? Winters coming – perhaps snow shoes and a hip flask holder would be more useful!!

  13. I look so trendy at the minute, but things move on and these trendy fashions change so quick. These new grippy wheels will ensure I am still ahead of my time (which in fairness isn’t hard where I live!!)

  14. Hey !!! if you bring out a wet weather tyre will i still be able to hold the cart up from the back and wheel spin my tyres clean on wet grass ?. Clogging of the front wheel is a problem, just needs the guard a little closer to the tyre to scrape it off. Great Cart so far.

  15. As my course is normally wet most of the time, the treaded wheels and the new front wheel design will be a godsend. Please keep me posted. also looking forward to the brolly holder

    Cheers

  16. sounds a great idea about wheels and front wheel assembly. i had problems in frosty conditions with ice build up in front wheel and slipping with main wheels. please keep me notified of when available.
    i am well impressed with the go kart which i have had for 18 months and everybody at the golf club loves it. i also purchased a go kart bag which also looks great.
    Thanks
    Keith

  17. wheels and new front assembly are a great idea having had problems in the past please keep me posted
    regarding the umbrella holder on my course the rain is nearly always with high winds being coastal are you sure the handle design is strong enough

  18. Yep, we’re confident that the brolley holder is really robust. If, however, your GK has a bit of a Mary Poppins moment, it does really depend on what altitude it achieves before plummeting to earth. Are you sure your brolley’s up to it?
    btw did we mention the GoKart brolley that’s happening?

  19. Loving the new kart, only had it a month but it feels like we’ve been best friends for years! Need a set of the off-road tyres though as they have been slipping in the wet a little, looking forward to their release keep me posted. thx

  20. We recently purchased 2 GoKarts and they are absolutely brilliant. Several of our friends are waiting for their old trolleys to come to the end of their useful lives as they wish to change. Some have already started changing because they are so impressed. The only down side is the wet weather and the front and side wheels. The front wheel is now getting clogged up by wet cut grass and the side wheels are slipping in the wet weather on our slippery slopes. Please hurry with the new wheels and front assembly as they are desperatley needed in this wet weather.
    Keep up the good work guys. We will be looking at brolly and holder very soon.

  21. Looking forward to the new tyres and front wheel assembly, we love our Go Karts which have become a talking point with club members.

  22. We don’t have a date but we are keen to get the new wheels ready asap. Blooming slippery here in Kent too…

  23. love my cart owned one since launch would love a new set of wheels as my course is hilly keep informed!

  24. HI,USED GOKART FOR ABOUT 12 ROUNDS,ITS GREAT,FRIENDS ARE IMPRESSED,ONLY GRIPE IS WHEN ON WET ,MUDDY,HILLY COURSES,WHEELS SPIN VERY EASILY,CAN YOU PUT ME ON LIST FOR BETTER WHEELS WHEN AVAILABLE,IF ANYONE READING THIS AND CONSIDERING A GOKART,GET ONE NOW,BEST TROLLEY IVE EVER USED,LIGHT,QUICK,ROBUST AND VERY COOL.

  25. A quick and cheap fix for the slipping wheels of your Go Kart in winter weather is to fasten cable ties around the tread and thru’ the spokes of the wheel. Fasten with the “buckle” on the inside of the wheel & cut off the excess tie. This improves grip considerably and will last until the long awaited new wheels are avaiable. All we need now is a solution to the clogging of the front wheel!
