Safety

The rules that apply to every car we sell

Private property only. Not street legal in nearly every US state: no VIN, no certification, no registration path. The full explanation is in why these are not street legal.

Helmet every ride, both seats. Full-face, driver and passenger, including the first slow lap. At 50 mph capability there is no casual version of this machine.

Gloves and long sleeves. The most common injury on sliding machines is a hand or forearm meeting the ground in a spin.

Respect the load rating. 660 lb combined on the electric platform: rider, passenger and cargo together.

Age lines: 16+ electric, 18+ gas. These are adult machines and we do not sell a kids model. The gas line earns its higher line with a clutch, a sequential box and 100 mph capability.

Passengers are your responsibility. The double seat carries a person with no controls and no say in your decisions. Ride two-up several steps calmer than you ride alone, and never with a passenger while learning.

Dry ground only. Splash resistant, not waterproof, and wet surfaces remove the control margin that makes sliding safe.

Gear list

Required: full-face helmet (Snell K or ECE 22.06, checked on the label inside the shell), gloves, long sleeves and trousers, closed flat-soled shoes. Same list for passengers.

Sensible at higher speeds: a neck brace with the high-output motor option, and eye protection if the helmet has no visor.

Choosing the venue

The venue is the biggest safety variable. Smooth sealed surface, genuine runoff in every direction, no poles, kerbs or parked cars in the sliding zone, no through traffic or pedestrians, and permission. At 50 mph capability the runoff requirement is real: this is a large-lot and track-day machine, not a driveway one. Where to ride a drift kart covers finding and securing ground.

Before every session

Two minutes: fasteners by hand, tire condition, lights and kill function, battery seated, and a look underneath for anything hanging. Stop immediately for grinding, a clunk under load, any visible crack, or a swollen battery.

The speed, honestly

50 mph in standard tune reads like well over 100 mph from a seat inches off the ground, and the optional 75 mph tune compresses reaction time past what a new rider has. Most drifting happens between 15 and 30 mph. Learn there, and treat the top half of the pedal as something the venue has to earn, not the rider.
