The kart comes in two varieties, a 2.50-horsepower machine and a 4-horsepower version. These karts offer top speeds of 27 and 40 km/h respectively. The engines are 4-stroke Hondas that were assembled in China but do meet American emissions requirements. In terms of construction, the PlyFly Go-Kart is made from 0.75-inch-thick Baltic Birch plywood and measures 40 x 23 x 56.5 inches. It ships in a three-box package and takes five hours to assemble with basic tools, assuming you're not completely useless with a toolbox. Considering that this is a flatpack contraption, it's pretty impressive to see that it has [rack and pinion steering](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speedster-ev), an adjustable seat, a smartphone mount for capturing action video footage.
