IMPORTANT:
Always select
a riding area that is level, smooth,
dry, and completely free of traffi c
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 XL’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
XL 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 XL may accelerate
faster when lighter riders are
on it, which is one reason the
minimum recommended age is 16.
Be safety conscious!
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 XL 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 XL. 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 XL. Always turn the Power
Switch to
OFF
before exiting the Crazy Cart XL.
Important Control Features:
Accelerator Pedal, Steering Wheel and Drift Bar
The Crazy Cart XL 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 XL
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 XL 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.
Accelerator Pedal
The Crazy Cart XL 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 0-17 MPH (0-27 KMH), 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 XL’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 XL’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 XL follows, as described below).
The Crazy Cart XL’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 XL backwards - and by turning at or near 90° the
Crazy Cart XL 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 confi guration of the Crazy Cart XL’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.
