wood is a natural fit for this.
Description Reference
The wood used in this kit is a 3/4 inch Baltic Birch plywood.
It is a natural fit for the go-kart due to it’s strength and
appearance. The 13 plies make it incredibly strong and
give the end grain a beautiful contrast. Best of all, it can be
modified, repaired or reworked with common household Box 1 – wood
tools. Dimension: 30” x 60” x 3”
Good to know
It is vitally important that anyone riding a go-kart wear the
proper protective gear. The rider should wear, at a minimum,
a full-face DOT-rated engine cycle helmet, gloves and a
helmet supporting neck brace. These items and other safety
equipment are not supplied with the kits but can be found
through many online or retail sellers. Box 2 –engine
