IMPORTANT:
Always select
a riding area that is level, smooth,
dry, and completely free of traffic
or obstacles. DO NOT RIDE
AROUND CARS!
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 Shift’s abilities is to
try things at low speed.
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 Shift
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 Shift may accelerate
faster when lighter riders are on it,
which is one reason the minimum
recommended age is 8. Be safety
conscious!
Before you ride this exciting new product, take the time to learn about how it moves and 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 Shift will allow you to maximize fun while keeping in control.
Never
turn the ON/OFF switch to
ON
before sitting down in the driver’s seat
of the Crazy Cart Shift. 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 Shift.
Always
turn
the ON/OFF switch to
OFF
before exiting the Crazy Cart Shift.
Important Control Features:
Accelerator Pedal and Steering Wheel
The Crazy Cart Shift 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 Shift
builds on these motions and adds even tighter turning possibilities through the fully rotational front drive wheel and
the rear caster wheels. Practicing with the Crazy Cart Shift can lead to amazing fun, and it is important, as with all
moving products, to always exercise caution when riding.
Accelerator Pedal
The Crazy Cart Shift 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 0-8 MPH (0-13 KM/H), 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.
Steering Wheel
The Crazy Cart Shift’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 Shift’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 (varying pressure on the accelerator pedal can change how the back of the Crazy Cart Shift follows, as
described below.
The Crazy Cart Shift’s steering wheel is able to rotate more than 170° 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 Shift backwards - and by turning at or near 90°
the Crazy Cart Shift 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 Shift’s integrated drive and steering mechanism is similar to what some
might call “bumper car” 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.
