WHY FERKART ELECTRIC KARTS ARE
SAFER THAN OTHER ELECTRIC KARTS

What makes Ferkart electric karts safer than other electric karts? Great question. In this post we will cover what makes us different and better than other electric kart manufacturers.

Karting is the first steppingstone for any great driver in the making. Competitions, especially professional ones, often involve risks and dangers that act as an introduction to the stakes involved in racing.

Leisure karting exposes you to many of the same risks as a professional competition, albeit to a lesser degree. This makes it a primary duty for any karting center to adhere to the highest possible standards of safety for all their customers.

This is a major reason why you should consider the karts produced by Ferkart. Our machines aim to combine spectacular design with the rigorous safety precautions without compromising on the thrill of racing karts. In addition to this, they possess many essential features that take your karting experience to the next level.

10 Reasons why Ferkart Electric Go Karts are safer than the competition

1) Electric lightweight karts: The first thought that enters the mind when one thinks of electric go-karts is their weight. These karts consistently weigh 440lbs, but Ferkart minimizes the weight of its electric karts by utilizing the most technologically advanced batteries that are lighter, yet more powerful.

Lighter karts are much preferable over heavier ones not only due to the additional safety they provide, but also for the ease of maintaining them. They do not have to be repaired as often and prevent the need for replacing parts. Karting centers tend to avoid replacements altogether since the unavailability of karts during installation affects their profitability.

2) Fully covered rear axle: Ferkart ensures that the rear axle of all its electric karts is fully covered while in use due to the potential for serious injury in case someone gets in contact with it. This is often a result of plain ignorance or lack of knowledge, but the danger of touching either the shaft or any component connected to the engine can be extremely dangerous. By keeping the rear axle covered, Ferkart prevents any such mishaps.

3) Enveloping protection system: The protections employed by our electric karts cover its entire body to prevent any harm to users resulting from impacts or collisions. While other karts on the market often use metal in their protections, this increases its overall weight while retaining some chance of injury after any impact on the kart. Ferkart thus utilizes high density polyethylene (HDPE) to minimize the risk involved in karting. Besides having great impact resistance, HDPE is also highly suitable for thermal and chemical resistance. Moreover, it is lighter, more flexible, tenacious, and environmentally friendlier than metal since it lends itself to mechanical and thermal recycling.

4) Seat belt system and anti-roll bar: Karting is a sport wherein collisions between vehicles are inevitable, so it is crucial for karts to have an effective safety belt system. However, many karts use seat belt systems that simply do not offer enough protection and can cause chafing or burns to the neck. The seat belt systems used by Ferkart avoid these drawbacks by relying on a 4-point anchor that maximizes protection. It is also equipped with an anti-roll arch considering the minor possibility of a kart overturning during use. In such cases, the arch prevents any cervical damage to the user.

5) Emergency stop button: All our karts are equipped with an emergency stop button in case the user needs one for unforeseen situations.

6) LED Lighting System: The LED system helps you be aware of other users as they enter the vicinity of your kart. Furthermore, the rear lights alert those behind you to any stoppages or reductions in the speed of your kart, thereby avoiding possible collisions.

7) Direct communication with track operators: Ferkart electric karts come with a button attached to the steering wheel that allows you to send your track operator a signal in case you need any assistance while karting. When racing on longer tracks or those with multiple levels, it can be challenging for the operator to monitor every single kart, making this feature especially useful in case you need their attention urgently.

8) Remotely controlled speed: Besides having an emergency stop button, the speed of all karts in a race can also be moderated manually using a remote control. This can be used to implement an immediate speed limitation—like in cases of a precautionary flag, or certain users are not complying with the rules of a track. It can also be used for emergency stoppages if needed in certain situations.

9) Intuitive Driving: This is a handy feature for inexperienced racers that helps them drive with ease with the help of Ferkart’s innovative and technologically superior design.

10) Zero burns and zero harmful gases: Unlike gasoline karts, our electric karts avoid the potential for physical injuries in two ways. They do not contain any hot components, such as an exhaust, thus preventing the chance of burns by getting into contact with it. Second, they do not emit harmful gases that have deleterious consequences for our respiratory system. Not only does this make Ferkart electric karts safer, but also more environmentally friendly, especially when used in indoor tracks.
