You can buy an F1 style GoKart at Costco for the price of an Xbox – Jalopnik

It’s never too early to introduce your children to the exciting products offered by Aston Martin Formula 1 sponsors JCB heavy equipment, fancy dress Hugo Boss, technology solutions consultants Cognizant, Saudi national petrochemical company Aramco and cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase. Featuring this $599 F1-style electric kart at Costcoyour child can drive around promoting the team’s sponsors, and you can pay for the privilege! When you get on board, your kids will be cosplaying as 44-year-old Fernando Alonso who hasn’t won a Grand Prix in thirteen years, or as Lance Stroll’s talentless billionaire Nepo Baby Failure. It’s always good to give them role models, you know. And at the course that the Aston Martin team is taking for 2026this kart might be faster!

All kidding aside, this kart looks like it will be a lot of fun for your kids, and it’s adjustable in length to four different sizes, so the kart can grow with them. With a 36 volt architecture, this small electric kart is capable of top speeds of 19 kilometers per hour. Costco says the kart is suitable for ages 8 and up, although it has a weight limit of just 110 pounds, so you’re not likely to be able to sneak yourself, mom, and dad into a ride.

In this case your child will certainly not be Lewis Hamilton. Costco says the kart is “perfect for aspiring racers, young drivers, or anyone looking to add a little more excitement to their day.” I hate to be the one to break it to you, but if you wait until 8 years old to put your child in a kart that reaches a top speed of 12 miles per hour, then they are definitely not an aspiring racer.

As disgusted as I hate to admit it, you’re probably just better off go to Tractor Supply and pick up a Coleman 100cc gas kart instead. No one has ever regretted buying a cheap Coleman gas kart. If you turn off the governor, it will also reach much more than 12 miles per hour. And with a little pinching, the adults might enjoy it too.
