      Electric for shorter races.

      Electric. Cuz its less smelly, and the instant acceleration

    Non emotional answer to make a true comparison
    1) Petrol carts are lighter in comparison of weight as. They don't have battery
    2) as the cart is in a drift
    There is lesser load on the hands
    On a lighter petrol machine
    3) the mid range of powerful revs feel stormy on a low ground clearance and frugal light petrol cart ,in comparison to a refined well balanced electric wit a bigger heavily stearing wheel .
    4) as the petrol cart is a lot more basic and noisy and raw it is a bigger rush and is a lot more scary fun full of adrenaline pump..
    PETROL winns for all the above reasons.

    Not tried electric yet, but will do soon. Will be interesting to see if my weight has more or less of an effect

      Let me know how it goes! In my experience, adding ballast weight (+15kg) at an indoor electric kart track gave me more grip in cornering. Check out the full video ruclips.net/video/oaiS3V2DZoU/видео.html

      I saw u other comments, im like same weight as u. 102KG. Electric car really can reduced my gap with the fastest lap time of the track. I think u will love it.

    I prefer gasoline karts and outdoor tracks because I have a much better natural feel for the throttle response and how the kart performs on most asphalt surfaces or brushed concrete surfaces. They also are usually larger, in length with layouts that have a much better flow and more passing room and opportunity.
    Indoor tracks are usually too small for my liking with corners that just never really connect well, although I've been to a few with very nice layouts that are fun to drive.
    I also struggle with the feel of the polished concrete that usually is the choice for indoor tracks and I don't yet have a great feel for throttle modulation to reduce wheel spin and increase forward bite out of the corners with the instant torque and the on/off switch nature of many electric kart throttle petals.
    I honestly have never really noticed decreased performance in later laps with electric karts either. I find my fastest lap is usually one of the last 3 laps, when tires are at optimal temps.

    I tried petrol go karts yesterday after trying a slow version of electric ones, and I was not ready for how hard it was to drive it

      Personally I like the lower risk of getting in electric car since you have a lower chance of burning yourself on an engine

      @@Thewiseman198what kind of stupid comment is that? Why do people drive and race? Because it’s fun and makes you feel alive. An engine gives you that excitement and is more satisfying to drive as you need more skill.

    I prefer petrol karts as the sound and heat add to the excitement of the race.
    I've driven both petrol and elctric and its interesting how the differences in karts affects your driving style.

    Petrol karts reminds me of NASCAR, due to how it sounds and other factors
    Electric just sounds like F1.

    onestly i prefer gas cause ive droven eletric ones i get its good but the takeoff is just to fast for me i rather a gas one and race so it takes time to build up speed rather then it just launching me and at the slightest touch of an eletric cart it loses most of its speed like if you bump the wall or hit sombody a little and it almost completley stops you

    I prefer petrol karts
    sure slow at start but I realised that despite that they are faster than electric karts not to mention that they don't need to be recharge after every races
    also they are fun to race with!
    electric karts feels more like an elevator on 4 wheels

    I also like petrol kart more because of the sound and feeling like driving formula.For me electric things are good only for cell phones and computers not for wheels.
