Need some advice about the chinese go karts

[Hooligan]

I am a first time buyer of one of these types of go karts.

I really need some advice from you guys that have already been here done that.

I am just looking for something for my family and i. there is a local place over in my area. ( san antonio ) that have these for sale.
the one i was looking at is 150cc rapture/spyder for 2,500.
so as i said im new to these Chinese karts. so are they reliable? re they worth the money?

i don't plan on hot dogging it too much. but i would want something that is going to last a while

can someone help me out with some advice?

Hi Hooligan, welcome to Go Karts R us. I been there and have done that. The lesson i learned with these chinese gokarts are 1) poorly built, 2) you will need to learn quicky how to troubleshoot them and 3) need constant maintenance to keep them running right. Now don't get me wrong, I have two at my home that the kids just love driving around and you do get what you pay for. My opinion is wait till you can get enough money to buy a name brand go kart like a Carter, Hammerhead, Polaris=expensive. Something that when it breaks down you know you will have parts and service for. Now if your good with your hands and don't mind getting them dirty, Which is what this hobby is all about (Modifications) the chinese brands are cool looking and can be fun, if maintained properly, you already said you have a service department by you so, if they treat you right. Go for it. Then hold on tight and welcome to the ADDICTION!
