Whizz Karts for little racers
Absolutely Karting offers real electric go karting for children aged 4–8 and over 90cm tall, with staff-controlled speeds, full safety kit and plenty of first-lap smiles.
Whizz Karts are made for young drivers who are ready to get behind the wheel for the first time. We make sure they feel confident before they head on track, so you can enjoy cheering them on from the sidelines.
Their first big karting adventure
Whizz Karts give little racers the thrill of proper go karting in electric karts designed around younger drivers. They’re easy to handle, exciting to drive and made for making their first time on track a big one.
No karting experience is needed. Before they race, we’ll explain how their kart works, talk them through the track rules and make sure they’re ready to go. Then it’s helmets on, jumpsuits zipped up and time to put the pedal to the metal.
Whizz Karts are for children aged 4 to 8 who are over 90cm tall. Got an older racer in the family? Children aged 8 to 13 and over 130cm tall can enjoy our Cadet Karting sessions.
Big on fun, built around safety
We know your child having a brilliant time matters just as much as you knowing they’re in safe hands. That’s why every Whizz Kart is designed for young drivers, and every session is supervised by our trained team.
Every Whizz Karts experience includes:
- Staff-controlled speeds
- Roll bars, safety bumpers and secure seat belts
- A helmet and jumpsuit for every racer
- A safety briefing before they head on track
- Clear instructions on how to control their kart
- Supervision from our trained site team throughout the session
- A child-focused Top Track Circuit with safety barriers around the track
Our site teams are trained in health and safety, first aid and IOSH safety procedures. You can relax, knowing your child is busy having the time of their lives.
What happens on the day
We keep it simple from the moment you arrive.
First, check in with our team and get your little racer ready for the fun ahead. We’ll fit their helmet and jumpsuit, then run through the safety briefing and show them how their kart works.
Once they’re ready, it’s time to head onto the Top Track Circuit. We’ll supervise their session while you watch the action from our viewing area.
Parents are welcome to cheer from the sidelines, and both our Bristol and Maidenhead venues have seating plus food and drink available on site. It’s a proper first-race moment for them and a proud-parent moment for you.
