Environmentally Friendly Karts = A Fresh, Wholesome Image
Many people talk about the environment these days, but few are actually doing anything about it. Now, communities and ongoing legislation are demanding changes. With the ecologically friendly electric karts, your customers are presented with a clean environment in which to experience all the speed and thrills of a conventional racetrack indoors, with none of the negatives of air and noise pollution. You can provide an upscale, exciting and healthy environment conducive to recreation for both the family and the business community. Electric karts are the future of racing.

Zero Emissions = Clean Air and Lower Operating Costs
Gas powered indoor karting facilities must bear the initial cost of an expensive air handling system that attempts to eliminate noxious and deadly gasses emitted by internal combustion engines. Beyond the initial costs, there are continuous increased operational expenses. The very system designed to refresh and replenish the inside air, actually removes seasonal climate controls. Track operators must balance these opposing efforts and the results are that the air in these facilities is still contaminated! For these reasons, it is often hard for gas powered operations to pass city inspections. Since, electric karts emit no air pollution whatsoever, they more easily meet building and fire code regulations.

Whisper Quiet Operation = Longer Operating Hours
When you first enter a conventional karting facility, the roar of the karts fills you with excitement -- for about five minutes. After that, the loud, incessant droning is more likely to give you a headache. Customers there to enjoy the facility are driven away. There is no way to bring the noise level of gas engine karts down to an acceptable level. Electric karts, on the other hand, create almost no noise, except a pleasant high-pitched whine like an F-1 racecar. This translates to longer operating hours and fewer complaints from your crew, customers and neighbors. Electric karts can have a noise chip installed to simulate any type of racing vehicle.

Electrical Power = Reduced Costs and Elimination of Hazards
The operation of internal combustion karts requires fuels such as gasoline, propane, or methanol. The fuel must be purchased, delivered, stored, dispensed, and handled on-site. In many instances, local or state authorities will not allow this indoors and is regulated extensively on outdoor tracks. In addition, oils and lubricants must be properly handled and legally disposed. Electric karts use no gas or oil. This means no fumes, no spills, no air pollution, and none of the hazards or related costs associated with toxic liquids. Electric karts need no re-fueling, translating to fewer man-hours and fewer hazards. Automatic pit-lane charging brings the karts to full racing capacity in a matter of minutes, and the electricity used to run an electric kart costs considerably less than gasoline. Electric kart batteries are UL rated and fully recyclable.

Fewer Moving Parts = Lower Maintenance Costs
Electric motors have lower maintenance costs than gasoline engines. This translates into savings for you, as fewer repairs are needed. Our custom-built motors need no maintenance and run for years before needing a simple brush and bearing replacement. Combined with superior chassis, design, and strength, our karts give years of service. The use of dry lead acid batteries means there is no need to deal with messy, toxic acid. Our batteries are 30% more efficient and cheaper than any readily available on the market. Extremely long lasting, and the available power stays constant to provide thousands of exciting races. Just pennies per race, we have the most efficient cost saving battery. The belt drive never needs adjustment.

Faster Acceleration = More Thrills!
Electric karts cannot only match gas karts for top speed on straight-a-ways, their low-end power and quickness provide acceleration throughout the entire range of speeds. Instead of a live solid axle, electric karts have an unique, custom-built differential that amplifies the karts turning response, improves handling, engine performance and battery life. The resulting performance makes for a truly exhilarating racing experience.

Location, Location, Location = Less Expense, Better Demographics
You can operate an indoor go-kart track wherever the market is. Electric karts do not require a free-standing building and can operate in commercial locations that have higher visibility. They are quiet and clean enough to be a good neighbor even with a common wall within a building or strip mall. You can lease only the amount of space you actually need without the expense of renting the entire building. As a common tenant, you will not be solely responsible for the building expenses such as repairs, maintenance, parking lots and grounds keeping. You can select a location that has other businesses providing access to your target market. In addition you can be a positive contribution to a community by leasing vacant property in a shopping center or strip mall.

As an extension of an existing outdoor park, using electric karts as a mid-size indoor attraction adds value to your existing establishment. Not only will it keep customers at your business longer, it will help provide year round amusement that allows you to have pre-set hours regardless of rain and winter.

Year Round Pre-Set Hours= More Income, Better Staff
Year round business means your investment wont remain idle in bad weather. You can also offer year-round employment to attract a better-trained and more reliable staff. Your marketing and advertising investment can be extended to year-round business. You can become a destination attraction available for mixed uses and designed to create an exciting atmosphere.

Remote controlled, Safer, Saner and more Fun!
Our electric karts feature state-of-the-art radio controlled emergency shut-off and pit speed reduction. The radio control allows track personnel to control the track speeds before, during, and after a race. The pit lane speed allows the customers to enter and exit the charge rail grid safely. The system can also be used to penalize individual drivers, who have made intentional infractions of track rules, by remotely cutting their karts power in half. Speeds are fully adjustable to suit your track design.

USER REQUIREMENTS
Whether an electric kart is used in a dedicated karting facility or as a mid-size attraction in a Family Entertainment Center, the requirements remain constant and nominal.

Electricity supply for charging: 100 amp Zivan charger

30 amps @ 230v single phase
60 amps @ 110v single phase
15 amps @ 480 3 phase

Charger systems:

Pit Requirements for Auto Charging Systems:

You need one segment per kart.

Chargers begin operating when it senses the 48V connection from the kart. Chargers will bring the batteries up to a full charge and turn off automatically. When not in use the battery charger will continue to turn on and off as needed to equalize all the batteries.

Plug in chargers do not require cement pit lanes for charging. Dimensions are the same as the floor chargers.

Plug in chargers have the advantage of using one charger to alternately charge 2 cars which can cut the cost of charging units by half. However, if you do not use a complete row of karts during a ride, you will need to move the karts up in line and reconnect them in order to accommodate returning karts. This problem can be minimized with an angled pit design with several lanes. Plug in charging allows you to use karts with different dimensions in the same lane while floor chargers require same dimension kart spacing in order to match the floor plates.

Indoor Facility Requirements
Track dimensions: A minimum of 10,000 square feet with support column spacing between 20 and 25 ft in order to receive the maximum use of the floor space. The concrete needs to be as smooth as possible to reduce tire wear and improve the overall ride.
