Review on Hauck Speedster Pedal Go Kart: Intense Graphics, Comfortable Seat, And 3-Point Steering Wheel by Dave Sapp

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Wanted to Love Them

We bought three Hauck pedal go-karts (Hurricane, Batman, and Lego Striker) for our three kids and have had some mixed feelings. Overall, we really do like the machines and they feel very sturdy with excellent assembly. One problem found among all three is a design issue, the rear axle only locks into the right wheel. These devices essentially are one-wheel drive vehicles, making them very difficult to maneuver over any kind of uneven ground no matter how slight, concrete and asphalt included. I can only surmise that this decision must've been made to shave a few cents off of materials and welding labor. It's very unfortunate that this is the case because I'm certain that most issues with drivability wouldn't be ones in the first place had a second piece of metal been welded to the left-rear axle to also drive that wheel.

Pros
  • great car.. easy to drive..
Cons
  • May not be suitable for children with physical disabilities
