About YAWKART

What we sell, plainly

Mini drift cars: replica-style bodywork over a 72V electric platform, made to order in your paint and spec, plus a gas 800cc line for track use. They carry two adults, run 50 mph, and exist to make sliding a machine learnable and affordable.

The problems this category has

“For adults” that means 140 lb. The phrase is unregulated and mostly decorates toys. Our number is published on every page: 660 lb combined load, 419 lb machine, double seat available on every model.

Batteries that end the machine. A pack loses capacity in a few years, which is normal. What is not normal is that being the end of the product. Our pack is a serviceable 72V 40Ah unit, one fits every model, and the replacement is listed at $795 before you ever buy the car.

Specs nobody states. Range, charge time, lead time and the no-returns reality of custom builds are on every product page in plain sentences, because the alternative is you discovering them after paying.

Where we are honestly the same

The platform under the bodywork is shared across the whole electric line, and we say so on every page rather than inventing six spec sheets. The choice we sell is the shape and the custom build, and the mechanicals are deliberately identical so parts stay simple.

We are also not the cheapest way to go sideways. A used open kart is. What we sell is the version with presence, a passenger seat, lights, and paint you chose, at a price that says so.

What we will tell you not to buy

The high-output motor on a first machine. A gas car for a neighborhood. A dearer body when the money is better spent on the spare battery. The most expensive outcome in this category is the wrong machine, and a $5,995 car that gets ridden every weekend beats a $13,995 one that intimidates its owner.

Where these get ridden

Private property, closed lots with permission, and track days. Not street legal in nearly every US state, and we would rather help you find a legal venue than pretend the question away. Every car is labeled accordingly.

Trademark, stated clearly

YAWKART is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any automotive manufacturer. Style names describe the appearance of the bodywork only.

Warranty and support

One year on the electric system, with the exclusions written plainly on the warranty page. The battery, wheels and guard are stocked on our parts catalogue, and the range is on the electric line.
