When you build your own go-kart, one of the most important parts of the vehicle is the seat. After all, that's where the rider is going to be sitting to operate the kart, and it needs to be both functional and comfortable. Face it, if the seat isn't comfortable, no one is going to want to spend a great deal of time sitting in it. To make sure that the go-kart you're building gets all the use it deserves, make sure to buy a seat that is going to serve the rider well.
The online marketplace has opened up many resources to people everywhere. You no longer have to rely on the limited supplies in local shops when it comes to buying parts and supplies for your go-kart. Instead you can browse through dozens of stores and read lots of reviews and commentary on the ideal go-kart seats. A great deal will depend on the amount of money you want to spend and how the go-kart will be used. You will also need to decide if your go-kart is going to have a single or double seat.
Car Seat
If you're only building the go-kart for your child to use to putt up and down the driveway, you don't need a fancy go-kart seat. You will find several websites online that give you directions for building your own seat out of wood, foam, and vinyl which will probably suffice for as long as your child will be riding in that particular go-kart. However, if you're building a more durable kart to be used at a racetrack, you will want to find commercial seats that are built ergonomically for driver safety and comfort.
You will find commercially-built go-kart seats in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Some are covered in leather, while others have vinyl, fabric, or mesh covers. Naturally, the type of cover the seat has will determine how long the seat will stay serviceable without needing to be recovered, so if you're planning on a lot of heavy use, go with leather or vinyl. One of the concerns of go-kart racing is bruising of the ribs, and some of the seats you will find were designed with protecting the ribs and driver safety in mind.
