Cost of Building vs. Buying a Go-Kart
Generally speaking, building your own go-kart will cost around $400 to $860 depending on whether you buy used or new parts.
The average go-kart costs between $1,500 to $2,500. There are many types and each has a different price range. For example, a pedal go-kart for a kid can cost $150, whereas a professional racing go-kart can cost up to $10,000.
Can You Build Your Own Go Kart?
If you’re one of those people who really love to assemble things, go ahead and build your own go-kart from scratch. Buy every spare part after hunting for the best price. An alternative to buying your own tools is to have an automotive shop fix the parts as needed. It might be costly, but it’s a real time-saver. You will need a special place for your project. That place should be dry, roomy, and well-lit with a concrete floor. You’ll also probably be working on this project for three to six months, so a part of your garage is the obvious choice. Are you really ready to build your own go-kart? Let’s start and gather the spare parts you will need.
