Rank #4 in Best Go Karts for Kids 2026: 10 Ranked, Two Pairs Compared
HOMCOM Pedal Go Kart with Adjustable Seat, Ages 5-12
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The HOMCOM Pedal Go Kart Ride on Racer is fourth in this guide at £109.99. It is pedal powered with no battery, steered with a wheel and stopped with a handbrake, and the listing gives a 50kg maximum load for a kart that itself weighs 13.5kg. HOMCOM quotes 4.2 out of 5 from 129 ratings; the breakdown behind that average is 68 five-star and 11 one-star reviews.
The detail worth reading twice is the wheels. The bullet describes rubber wheels that are tough and wear-resistant with a shock absorbing system, while the item highlight and the included components fields on the same page both read "Inflatable Tyres". Those are not the same thing and the page does not settle which one turns up. The seat is the other figure to look at: three positions, but stated as a 0-6cm range in total, on a kart sold as fitting ages 5-12. Everything here is taken from the Amazon listing rather than from a kart we bought and tested.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I ordered this from the US for my nephew's 5th birthday. He lives in England and is very much into cars! Of course me wanting to be his favorite Auntie had to get him something super cool! My nephew is at least 4 feet tall and the go cart is just a tiny bit too big but my sister put a towel behind his back and it's perfect! So I know he will be able to ride it for a couple years at least! He loves it!I had a question for the seller about how it would be delivered so that he wouldn't see a box with a go cart delivered and they told me that they would make sure to put it in a plain box so that he would not see it and they absolutely did that! Thank you!”
Verified purchase“Bought for my 6 year old grandchild who loves it! Good value for money, although build could be a bit more robust, it's a good looking cart and their happy whizzing around pretending to be Lewis Hamilton!!”
