Home Depot Kart

This looks pretty cool for a kids kart.

It appears to be pretty beefy, automatic tranny, and hydraulic disc brakes.

I wouldn't have minded getting this if I didn't just finish building my daughters kart.

That would be cool for small kids, not too hard on the pocket either...

judging by the fact that this is a $250 alibaba item... it's a bit overpriced, even considering shipping and taxes

I wonder what kind of engine that is. 79cc is little bitty! -lol

I'd buy it tonight if I could get it for $250! Then, I'd let her ride it for a while and swap in the 6.5 Predator. ��

well, you can safely assume it's at least relatively close to the 79cc predator

Not so easy I'm afraid.. you can look on alibaba for 80cc karts yourself, they're all similar but most sellers require a minimum order of up to 100 pieces (20 average.. some just five you get the idea)
I found but ONE that sells them individually but not for 250 more like 450 and then adding transport and tax you end up with roughly the same amount.

But truth is, HD who are likely to order more than just 10 such karts will pay less than a third of their asking price.

Yeah, I'm sure my credit card is safe for now.

It might not be a bad deal, but I think it is over priced. If I was thinking about buying it, I would talk to the store manger and try to get him/her to come down on the price. I wonder where they come up with the .5cc.

I wonder where they come up with the .5cc.

Maybe it's a stroker..?

Maybe it's a stroker..?

Could be.

I bought this for my son as a Christmas gift. I am very satisfied with it. I also hope to add a 6.5 predator once the 79cc is toast.

 

[mckutzy]

I would have thought it would have been toast just looking at it .... before you bought and rode it.......

 

[Kingofwylietx]

I think mckutzy is trying to get Jamma to put the bigger motor in before Christmas. LoL

The 79cc is actually plenty fast for my son for now. I cant believe it can actually move me around and I am 240Lbs.
