A go-kart configuration that incorporates a continuous, elongated seating surface, designed to accommodate multiple occupants side-by-side. This contrasts with single-seat models, which are built for individual use. Such a seating arrangement modifies the kart’s center of gravity and handling characteristics compared to its single-seat counterpart.
This adaptation offers the advantage of shared recreational experiences, enabling simultaneous participation for pairs or small groups. Historically, these karts found popularity in amusement parks and recreational facilities, providing accessible motorsport participation for a wider audience. This design necessitates specific frame reinforcements and steering adjustments to manage the increased weight and altered weight distribution effectively.
