Race Line Light e Race Line Electric
Weighing just 119 kg (145 kg for the electric version) it is one of the lightest rental karts on the market. It has perimeter guards and the possibility of mounting roll-bars with belts for a high level of safety. Adjustable seat and pedals make it easy to adapt to drivers of different heights. Also, maintenance is even easier thanks to the possibility of being able to change the tyres without having to remove the perimeter guards while the fairings are dismantled by removing a few convenient clips. The petrol version mounts a Tillotson 350 engine while the electric version mounts an engine that reaches 19 hp.

Race Line Light MINI
The MINI version is designed for smaller drivers. It maintains the same racing soul of the adult versions and is made up of 28 mm tubes. It can be equipped with Honda GX160 or Tillotson 212 engines.

The RTK family is composed of classic rental karts that are robust, safe and easy to maintain. The safety compartment has a safety belt and roll-bar system, double front shock absorption system and a modular bumper system to allow you to replace only the damaged parts without having to change the entire perimeter fairing. There are three models in this family, all with 33 mm tubes:

RTK EVO
