The KT100 is a purpose built(racing), 100cc, free air cooled, piston port, 2 stroke racing engine. It is a poor choice for a fun kart for the following reasons.

1. requires massive, expensive, electric racing starter(looks like minigun minus the barrels)

2. Spinning at 16000+ RPM it require frequent rebuilds.

3. Runs a VERY fat oil mix with some expensive oil.

I've seen pics of KT100 with pull start.

that is my fear riding a go kart.

the chances that it happens to you are very slim unless you are racing. it normally only happens when tires get interlocked and stuff like that.

Roll bars (and seat belts to hold you in)are great!

ya if your not going over 30mph its not to bad even getting sideways because all your weight sets really low tot the ground, and you most of the time you have wide back tires.
