HOW TO OPERATE THE CRAZY CART
Before you ride this exciting new product, take the time to learn about how it moves the way it moves. Start 
out slowly. With practice and care, you must familiarize yourself with these riding hints and tips so that your 
experiences with the Crazy Cart will allow you to maximize fun while keeping in control.

Never turn the power switch to ON before sitting down in the driver’s seat of the Crazy Cart. By getting 
yourself situated before turning the power ON, you won’t risk losing your balance by pushing the accelerator 
pedal while standing as you get into (or out of) the Crazy Cart. Always turn the Power Switch to OFF before 
exiting the Crazy Cart.

IMPORTANT CONTROL FEATURES: ACCELERATOR PEDAL, STEERING WHEEL AND DRIFT BAR: The Crazy 
Cart allows really creative drifting, spinning and turning that no ordinary go-kart can do. If you have ridden 
a Razor RipStik® or a Razor RipRider® 360, think about those caster wheels and how they allow rapid changes 
of direction; or how a Razor Ground Force® Drifter™ go-kart allows full speed rear-end drifting. The Crazy Cart 
builds on these motions and adds even tighter turning possibilities through the fully rotational center motor 
and an adjustable angling ability for the rear caster wheels. Practice with these Crazy Cart characteristics can 
lead to amazing fun, and the importance of exercising caution and common sense when riding is – as with all 
moving products – important for every rider. 

IMPORTANT: Always select a 
riding area that is level, smooth, 
dry, and completely free of 
traffic or obstacles. DO NOT 
RIDE AROUND CARS!

ACCELERATOR PEDAL: The Crazy Cart has a foot pedal accelerator that controls the cart’s speed. This 
variable speed accelerator allows you to drive the cart at a range of speeds from 0-19 KMH (0-12 MPH), 
depending on how much it is depressed. This ability to dynamically speed up and slow down is a key to 
controlled drifting. All stopping should be preceded by releasing any pressure on the accelerator pedal.

RIDING TIP: Learning when to 
push and when to let off of the 
accelerator pedal will improve 
your ability to do spins, drifts, 
and tricks smoothly. The best 
way to learn the Crazy Cart’s 
abilities is to try things at low 
speed.

STEERING WHEEL: The Crazy Cart’s steering wheel is different from a normal car or cart in a number of ways. 
The most important thing to remember about the Crazy Cart’s steering wheel is that the arrow on it points 
in the direction where the cart is going to travel, regardless of how the rest of the cart is oriented. Simply 
point the arrow where you want the cart to go (using the Drift Bar can change how the back of the Crazy Cart 
follows, as described below). 

DIRECTION OF TRAVEL

 WARNING: Excessive 

duration or speed in spins can 
lead to loss of balance, loss of 
control and tipping. Keeping 
one’s limbs and head tucked in 
tight to the center of the Crazy 
Cart can reduce risks of tipping 
over because ergonomic forces 
can increase risk of tipping if 
the body is leaning outwards 
and/or the spinning speed 
accelerates too greatly. Take 
your foot off the accelerator 
pedal if spinning becomes 
too fast to control, do not try 
to accelerate out of a spin. 
The Crazy Cart may accelerate 
faster when lighter riders are 
on it, which is one reason the 
minimum recommended age is 
9. Be safety conscious!

The Crazy Cart’s steering wheel is able to rotate more than 180° in each direction. The steering wheel has 
a “hard stop” when it has reached the limit of its turning – it won’t keep going around all the way, but by 
turning fully one direction or fully the other direction, you can ride the Crazy Cart backwards - and by turning 
at or near 90° the Crazy Cart can go in a very, very tight circle (be careful to avoid losing control by turning so 
much as to risk becoming dizzy).

The steering configuration of the Crazy Cart’s integrated drive and steering mechanism is similar to what 
some might call “shopping cart” design. It has no self-correcting camber or castering features (meaning the 
steering tube goes straight up and down so the wheel doesn’t “align” itself on its own). Such steering might, 
in certain circumstances, shimmy or vibrate a little -- this is normal. Usually it is the result of an uncoordinated 
or adverse control condition. If you feel a shimmy in the steering, a change of direction (“counter-steering”) 
and/or speed change helps re-establish smooth control.
