Rank #8 in Best Go Karts for Kids 2026: 10 Ranked, Two Pairs Compared
Maxmass 6V Electric Drift Car, Ages 3-8
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Maxmass 6V Kids Ride on Drift Car sits eighth in our guide to kids' go-karts. It is a £99.59 battery-powered kart with a 6V battery, three wheels — two universal and one driven — and a seat that adjusts to two heights, 27cm and 34cm. The listing quotes up to two hours of play and a speed of 4.2-4.8 km/h, and it carries a rating of 4.5 out of 5 from 7 customer ratings.
What puts it on this page is what it shares with a dearer listing. This Maxmass kart and the 6V COSTWAY kart at £119.95 both state 85 x 45 x 55cm, 9kg, a 25kg maximum load and 4.2-4.8 km/h — the same four figures for £20.36 more. The Maxmass listing also contradicts itself on age: the title and the age range field say 3-8 years old, while the manufacturer recommended age field says 3 years and up. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing and the customer reviews printed on it, not from our own testing.
