Introduction
KIDZ KARTZ have been designed and
manufactured in response to customers
who want a reliable business tool,
without the commitment and cost of
investing into a franchise. KIDZ
KARTZ are manufactured in the UK
by Gravitron, a company with many
years of expertise and experience in
the design and build of electric
drive systems and vehicles for the
leisure industry.
The KIDZ KARTZ will
appeal to children of all
ages, from the youngest
drivers at 3 years old who will
experience their first taste of driving a real vehicle, to those older children who want to race their friends.
The full age range is 3 – 12 years old, with the only restricting factor being “can they fit into the kart?”.
4
Versatile and Adaptable
KIDZ KARTZ can be used on rough or smooth terrain, with their large
multipurpose tyres. Easy steering and smooth speed control means that
even the youngest child can enjoy the thrill of driving on slippery gravel,
wet tarmac, grass, just about any everyday surface. This makes the KIDZ
KARTZ true, all round, all terrain vehicles, which can be used all year
long.
Indoors these vehicles are quiet, smooth and fume free. With easy handling and a fun appearance they will be the centre of attention for any
event.
Safety Matters
KIDZ KARTZ are incredibly safe; they are driven by two electric, geared
motors fitted directly onto the rear wheels with no chains to worry
about. There are no hot engines or flammable fuels, to cause injury to
the children or concern for their parents. The electric drive also makes
life safer and easier for owner operators – with no hot parts, no engines
to strip down and maintain, cheaper insurance, lower decibel levels and
so no complaints about noise and air pollution – all in all an environmentally friendly product!!
KIDZ KARTZ are fully BACTA ADIPS certified. BACTA are a recognised
organisation that stipulate safety standards with in the leisure industry.

Questions & Answers
How much can I expect to earn?
Birthday parties will be evenly spread out over the year and it
would be easily achievable to run 2 or 3 birthday parties per
week @ between £150.00 and £250.00 per event.
Car boot sales and markets are an excellent income generator.
These are more seasonal than birthday parties, with most car
boot sales and markets running weekly on Saturday and Sun
day mornings from Easter through to the October half term. You
can expect to take £300.00 - £600.00 over an average morning,
that’s a possible £1200.00 over a weekend!!.
Special events such as garage open days, business launches
and corporate events can be arranged with a set fee for a full
day’s operation. Your daily rate and can be charged between
£250.00 & £1000.00 per day depending upon location.
Events at agricultural or county shows, fetes, shopping malls,
fun days etc will need to be negotiated with the organisers. You
will usually negotiate a set fee for the space, however some
organisations, especially charities, churches and schools may
want to offer you free space and negotiate a percentage of the
income. £300—£1000 expected income.
Secondary spend ideas: offer birthday party bookings, a pack
of KIDZ KARTZ party invitations, party bags with
sweets, a small toy and a piece of KIDZ KARTZ merchandise
such as a key ring, cap or soft toy. Pricing and profits will vary
upon what you offer. Party bags can include contact details and
invitations to encourage further bookings from party goers.
At a fixed location the income will depend on opening times,
hours open and the number of children driving KIDZ KARTZ.
Income example: 4 KIDZ KARTZ. 3 Minute rides. 7 Hours per
day. 200 Days per year. £2 per ride = 80 rides per hour.
Income 80x7x200x£2 = £224,000 / 50% efficiency = £112,000
