Their electric go-karts can reach speeds up to 90 kilometres per hour. However, first-timers will have speed restrictions to abide by their safety protocols. If you're looking to hit that top speed, you'll have to come back with more experience.

The track itself has plenty of sharp turns, requiring steady handling of the karts. If you're a beginner, consider taking on the racing simulator before hitting the lanes. Alternatively, you can opt for one-on-one coaching. Once you have a few wins under your belt, you can join their monthly racing leagues for a shot at glory.
