HOW TO OPERATE THE Crazy Cart XL
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 0-23 KMH (0-14 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.
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).
DIRECTION OF TRAVEL
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 configuration 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.

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
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!
