Rank #6 in Best Go Karts for Kids 2026: 10 Ranked, Two Pairs Compared
COSTWAY 6V Electric Drift Car with LED Lights, Ages 3-8
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The COSTWAY Electric Ride on Drift Car is a 6V sit-on drift kart with a 30W motor, a 5AH rechargeable battery and two seat heights. It is listed at £119.95 and rated 4.4 out of 5 from 54 ratings, and it sits at number 6 in this guide.
What puts it there is what its own spec table says next to that price: 85 x 45 x 55cm, 9kg, a 25kg maximum load and a stated 4.2-4.8km/h. Those are the same four figures the £99.59 6V kart elsewhere in this guide quotes, which makes this one £20.36 dearer for identical numbers. The rating breakdown is worth reading too — 70% of the 54 ratings are five-star, but 10% are one or two stars. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing; we have not tested the kart.
