Shifter karts also have 4 brakes, instead of the normal 1, on the single speed karts. Shifter karts (karts with multiple gears), accelerate much quicker, however, have worse handling going into the corners because of added weight, and worse weight balance, however, can quickly pull out of the corners with the added power. A single geared, 125cc, 2 stroke kart will do 0-60 in about 4-5 seconds and pull 3-4 g's through the corners. The next classes up all have about the same top speed with different variations to cope with added weight for older people.

Kart racing is available for just about any age with different classes. It takes a little more than 3 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph with a 125 cc shifter kart (6 gears), with a top speed of Template:Convert/km/h on long circuits.
A KF1 kart, with a 125 cc 2-stroke engine and an overall weight including the driver of 150 kilograms has a top speed of Template:Convert/km/h. Karts vary widely in speed and some (known as Superkarts) can reach speeds exceeding Template:Convert/km/h, while go-karts intended for the general public in amusement parks may be limited to speeds of no more than Template:Convert/km/h.
