This is a much debated subject and all the comments here are valid, although I would add we have made great progress in the UK forging our own set of rules and guidelines to suit the way Cyclekarting and Cyclekarters are heading here which has been acknowledged as “done the right way” from pretty cool guys in the scene from the states, so if there is a general need and want for a kit of sorts that helps the hobby grow in a safe and tried and tested way, complying with ckgb guides, that has to be a good thing in any way you look at it as the club needs members and active driving karts at events all over the country.
I don’t think that a fully turn key kart is the answer but for those who don’t have the tools or equipment or space to build from nothing etc and to encourage a wider age range, it is a great way to start the journey as it would still take many many man hours to complete as we all know!!! And with all that effort hopefully respect for the kart and others on a track environment.
As with any niche hobby, you must immerse yourself into the scene, try, understand, get involved and maybe fail a few times until you gain the full picture and support of fellow members before you launch into selling something that although may seem simple to some, still needs to be right regardless of what insurance is in place.
Either way it’s great to hear people being so enthusiastic about the scene and look forward to you building your CK’s - come and have some fun 👍
