Rank #3 in Best Go Karts for Kids 2026: 10 Ranked, Two Pairs Compared
HOMCOM 24V Electric Go Kart with Drift Mode, Ages 8-12
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The HOMCOM 24V Electric Go Kart is the third entry in this guide, and it is the cheapest route here to a 24V kart: £198.99, a 70kg maximum load, a 20.9kg kart and a quoted top speed of 13 km/h. That 13 km/h is the same figure the two Razor Crazy Cart Shifts quote at £249.99 and £250.00, which puts this one roughly £51 under them on the headline number the Razors print as 8mph — the same speed written in different units.
The ratings are where the 4.0 gets more complicated. It comes from 52 ratings, and the breakdown adds to 100 with no three-star entries at all: 69 at five stars, 5 at four, 10 at two and 16 at one. Read that way, 26 of the 100 sit at two stars or below, on a kart whose own listing promises 13 km/h and real drifting. Every number on this page is taken from the Amazon listing, not from any testing of our own.

An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.0 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“My grandson loves this..it fast..it drifts realy well..it a good solid kart..batteries last well..”
Verified purchase“So far so good. Fast but not crazy fast for an 11 yr old.Pretty good battery life if used on road surfaces it was designed for.Haven't bothered with the 'music' system yet, it would surely be too loud to bother with.If you don't have access to very flat, smooth tarmac or concrete etc, then it might be a waste of money.”
