How are the karts at K1 speed? I think They bought our local indoor kart racing place out here in Sacramento, used to be called RPM. I also saw that they're "electric", how fast are they?

They are electric. I actually quite like them. Initially I wasn't a fan. But for a fatty like me, the torque is great and they seem to go just as fast as the gas karts.
They're a bit on the heavy side and there isn't much movement. The pedals move. But it's a very off/on feeling. And it easy to lock up the brakes.
When they're new and in good condition, they're great. When they've been wrecked a dozen, times it goes down hill pretty fast.

there's awards? cool. i'm game. 
my friend actually beat Rick. after the session Rick told my friend that it was his first time getting legitimately beat at K1 SF.
i heard they did. K1 is taking over the world.
i agree. i usually pass people out of corners because of them losing their momentum, but it's harder to do that with electric karts because they pick up speed so fast. when i signed the waiver at K1 Speed SF, i said to the girl working there, "This is dangerous?!?!" she responded with telling me it's electric and i won't catch on fire. honestly, i rather catch on fire than getting electrocuted.

Do you know if you are required to wear their racing jumpsuit? I hate the one in Burlingame (GoKart Racer)... you can smell the sweat from previous drivers...
