Rank #7 in Best Go Karts for Kids 2026: 10 Ranked, Two Pairs Compared
HOMCOM 12V Electric Go Kart, Ages 3-8
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
This is the HOMCOM Electric Go Kart for Kids, a 12V battery-powered ride-on listed at £115.99 and ranked seventh in this guide. The listing gives it two adjustable speeds inside a 3-5km/h range, a 12V 7AH battery quoted at up to 50 minutes of running, EVA wheels, a two-point safety belt and a 30kg maximum load, in a kart measuring 100L x 58W x 58.5H cm with a 25H x 32W x 16D cm seat.
The number that puts it where it is on this page is the price. At £115.99 it costs less than the 6V COSTWAY kart listed at £119.95 elsewhere in this guide, so the lower-voltage vehicle is the more expensive one. Two more figures on this listing are worth reading closely. The 4.1-star average comes from a breakdown where 65% of ratings are five star but 35% are three stars or fewer — that breakdown is shown as percentages, since the listing states 50 ratings in total. And the run time of up to 50 minutes is quoted without any charging time anywhere in the listing, so the bullet about spending "less time charging" cannot be checked against a figure. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing; we have not tested this kart.
