Key Facts

In-House Developed Software

Our karts run software that we have engineered from the ground up to meet our specific requirements. It allows us to have full control over the drivetrain performance and behaviour, while also introducing a variety of features to elevate the driving experience.

Custom Telemetry

One of the aspects that we introduce to the up and coming field of electric karting is a complex telemetry system that offers drivers, mechanics, engineers and coaches all the information they may need to perform their duties. Contextual interface, full analytics, real-time data collection from onboard and external sensors and more in a cloud-based, easy to access and easy to use platform.

Custom Chassis

Early in the development of the project, we realized that the off-the-shelf chassis present a limitation as they are designed to work with the lower weight of ICE karts. Thus we partnered up with one of the leaders on the market to design and build custom electric kart chassis, which have been strengthened to take the additional weight while offering the same level of handling.

High-Performance Drivetrain

Thanks to some clever engineering and our proprietary software we have managed to reliably extract considerably higher performance from our drivetrain package, than any of our competitors on the market. No overheating, no cutoffs and no stuttering, only relentless power and consistent range.

Striking Design

With the Model 27 we wanted to create a meaner more futuristic-looking kart, as let’s be honest, no one looked at a go-kart and thought ‘Sexy!’. And by simply looking at the people’s reaction during events where we’ve taken it to we can safely say that we have achieved our goal and then some!

Why Electric

The last few years have seen an indisputable shift in motorsports towards a greener, more eco-friendly state of existence. Our goal is to not only be part of the change but actually lead it.

We decided that we can add the most value by creating an eGo-Kart platform that can be used to kick start the careers of future racing drivers in EV motorsports. Here are some of the key advantages that are unique to our electric go-karts and will help drivers develop their skills:

Lower Maintenance Cost
Lower Noise Pollution
Zero CO2 Emissions
Indoor and Urban Tracks
Full Torque Delivery From 0 RPM
Full Control Over the Drivetrain
Guaranteed Level Playing Field
Formula E Level Telemetry System
Real-Time Data Acquisition
Much Greater Affordability
