Rank #9 in Best Go Karts for Kids 2026: 10 Ranked, Two Pairs Compared
AIYAPLAY Pedal Go Kart with Freewheel Brake, Ages 3-6
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The AIYAPLAY pedal go kart is the odd one out at number 9 on this list: at £84.54 it is the cheapest thing in the guide, and it is the only kart here with no battery and no motor. It is pedal-powered, with a freewheel system and brake, forward and reverse gears, four EVA wheels and a stated maximum load of 50kg. It carries 40 ratings to a 4.1 average.
The number that does not hold still is the age. The title says ages 3-6, and the spec table's Age Range Description says 3 to 6 years. The same spec table then gives a Manufacturer recommended age of "36 months - 3 years" — a range whose two ends are the same age. The table also lists the material type as Plastic, while the bullets describe the kart as built with solid metal and plastic, and the listing itself puts 10% of its ratings at one star and a further 9% each at two and three. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for this kart, not from testing we carried out.

Questions people ask
Does the AIYAPLAY pedal go kart need batteries?
No. The listing says it has forward and reverse gears so kids can ride both directions "with no need for batteries or charging". The freewheel system and brake handle the stopping.
How fast does it go?
The listing gives no speed figure at all for this pedal kart. It only states that the freewheel system lets the pedals stop while the kart keeps moving, similar to a bike, so pace depends on the rider rather than on a quoted top speed.
What age is the AIYAPLAY 370-395V00RD for?
The title and the listing's Age Range Description both say 3 to 6 years, and it is also listed as suitable for heights of 110-135cm. Separately, the same spec table gives a Manufacturer recommended age of "36 months - 3 years".
How much weight will it take?
Up to 50kg, according to the listing. The kart itself is listed at 11kg.
Does it arrive assembled?
No. The listing ends with "Assembly required", and the AIYAPLAY kart is supplied as one item with the pedals, seat, steering wheel and wheel included.
What are the wheels and brakes like?
Four EVA wheels, described in the listing as quiet and non-slip across various terrains. There is a freewheel system and a brake, and the kart is listed against safety standard EN71-1-2-3.
