“Read the very fine print. Communication could be a little better.”

David P.
2/9/23

I guess the fault is partially mine i didn't read the fine print. The 10% first time buyers discount coupon doesn't actually apply to the vehicles they sell. There is a unclear hinting of the disclaimer in very very fine print at the bottom of the coupon. Also its a small company that probably fills hundreds of orders a day so no doubt they are very busy. The order for some shocks and a mini-bike was partially filled and shipped within 3 days. I received the Bike in under two weeks from TX to NC. In my case R&LCarriers were used to ship the bike. It was in good shape and the shipping cage was not bent anywhere. The driver was courteous and even pulled the package up the drive way and into my garage without me asking him to do so. I highly recommend R&L carriers if you have a choice. I received a phone call notifying me when they were in the area.

“Killer Toys from Keller Texas”

Melvin N.
3/21/24

Go Power Sports in Keller, Texas is shipping literal death traps to children across America. Their popular Trailmaster 200 Minibike ships straight from the Chinese cargo container to the consumer with NO quality control whatsoever. The one I ordered arrived with no hardware securing the clutch to the engine shaft; a defect covered by a flimsy plastic cover. Fortunately I discovered the clutch clawing it's way through this cover at 5 mph. At 25 mph the discovery would have been quite different. The ensuing email exchange with GPS showed that this was a pretty standard "inconvenience". I find that chilling. This is obviously their "kiddie" bike. How many have been killed or maimed by this criminal negligence? How many of this defective batch are out there right now? Go find out!

I called because I didn't know where to start. I talked to Aaron, I emailed him pics of what was broke and it took him 2 seconds to have the part numbers and everything I needed. He crushed it. Great service, parts were perfect!

Was looking for go kart parts and saw that the are selling "go kart engines" I took a look and was appalled. They have an 8 HP 301 cc predator engine for $498.00, this engine is a harbor freight engine that can be had for $229.00! Ripoff. So they are up-charging $269! Here is their engine: http://www.gopowersports.com/predator-8-hp-301cc-ohv-horizontal-shaft-engine/ and here is the harbor freight listing: https://www.harborfreight.com/8-hp-301cc-ohv-horizontal-shaft-gas-engine-epa-*******.html

I Have Ordered A Lot Of Stuff From Go Powersports They Have Been Great. The Guy That Sits At The Very Front When You Come In The Door, Needs To Work A Little On His People Skills, But He Ain't So Bad After A While. I Think He's One People That Takes A Little Bit To Come Around.To The People That Complain About Them Taking Back Merchandise To Their Defence, It Does Say For You To Know What You Wan't Because Somethings Are None Exchangeable.

I won't buy anything from these ripoffs again after I found out that I can buy what they have for less than half of what they sell it for, also their 212cc engines cost $189.00, now why in the Hell would I buy it from them when I can buy it for $119.00 and on sale for $99.00 goes to show you, and then there is only one RAG attitude person that answeres the phone whenever he damnwell pleases and sometimes never, I will always get my parts from Monsterscooterparts.com they're everything gopowersports isn't.

I bought a clutch from go power sports that engages at idle I tried to contact them for several days and actually had talked to a few different guys Oliver and Scott neither could give me an answer nor could they give me a call back or an email so after a full week I have given up trying to contact them so I guess I am stuck with a clutch that is engaging at idle

Ordered a tire and was sent wrong size. Had to pay to send it back then they only did a partial refund. Will never do business here again! I would think a company from TEXAS would do a better job!

I called and placed an order on a Thursday evening and gave the guy all my information and actually he was pretty respectful. I had asked for a tracking number so he took my email address. I noticed a few hours later that my tracking number was not sent and that the money was not takin out of my account. I called them back this morning and spoke to the owner supposedly and he said my order was never placed and he asked if I had the right number. I ordered a gear a few days ago from you guys so I have the number saved in my phone so yea I have the right number. He looked and no order. Well when I placed my first order they got my last name wrong so I had him check that and still nothing. That's when the supposedly owner became a smart a-- to everything I was saying. He said he could put back in but won't get until Monday. I told him I would go on Amazon or EBay and if I can't find I would Click he hung up. Is that how you do people really? I gave my card number to someone in you business and I or anyone would be worried so there was no need for being a smart a--. I will never buy another part from these guys again and I have a lot of buddies that did business with you all and after today they won't. I know it won't hurt your buisness but hopefully you open your eyes that you can't talk down to people. Don't use go power sport.

I was looking for some go kart parts from manco, and a go kart kit for like building a second one from scratch and found out that go power sports had them (some wheels and pedals that were missing on a used kart i bought) as well as bearings that i needed for my spindles and for my axle. I looked on ebay and other places for the parts. I kept my tabs open for all the same parts from like BMI (bmikarts) and mfg supply etc etc but then i went to chekc out because bmi and ebay seemed cheaper, but the shipping was stuipd expensive when you tallied them all up together. Anyway, i went to checkout with GPS (gopowersports) and their prices were slightly lower AFTER shipping was taken into account. Shipped them fast too. Now im going to go do a burnout in my go kart PEACE (im still working on my other kart though but the parts seem legit/well made)

Tip for consumers:
google for coupons or codes because i think they have some good ones for extra % off

Over the last year, I have tried countless solutions to counter the problems that I have been having with the Predator non-Hemi stage 2 kit that I ordered. I have watched every Youtube video available on the topic, particularly by gopowersports sponsored creators, and have replicated their instructions at home to the finest detail. I think that it is dishonest of them to sell these parts to enthusiastic buyers who have just seen one of their sponsored Youtube videos and want to have more fun with their go-kart or minibike, only to have their engine ruined because of the quality of parts that were installed or instructions that are given by various sponsored Youtube channels. Then to refuse any kind of reimbursement or replacement because the fine print of their website denies responsibility for these issues, just makes the whole process even more dishonest and infuriating.

Before I spent over $500 on these parts from your website, I used my go-kart to put smiles on the faces of my little cousins during family gatherings and to entertain my friends on countless nights and weekends. Additionally, this go-kart has a great deal of sentimental value to me as it was passed down to me by my father who bought it when he was just 15 years old from a close friend. I spent countless hours restoring it, but the original engine soon gave out. I bought my Predator engine with the intention of modifying it with parts from this website, and have now spent over $500 on parts and many hours of hard work trying to get it to run, but to absolutely no avail. In fact, I have broken many components of the engine, and will not be able to bring it back to stock.

I am still waiting for an email response from this site's sales representatives. I emailed them a week ago and have no heard anything back. Would not recommend.

I am very new to go karting, but luckily my kart had a stock 212 predator (with a performance header already installed). Since this is just a for fun hobby my wife as imposed tight budget restrictions. So I knew if I wanted to make this thing fast (obviously) I would have to be very careful with my purchases. I quickly decided the "212cc Predator Performance Air Filter, Adapter & Upgrade Jet" was the best way to start my project.

After a slight issue with the shipping (not Gopowersports fault, the shipper will remain nameless) that I've chalked up to the time of the year it is with the holiday season. In a true show of AMAZING customer service Go Powersports immediately resolved the situation before it really ever became one!

The kit comes exactly as advertised and as specified! I chose the blue kit with yellow netting and it really changes the appearance of the engine. But the great looks and ease of installation pale in comparison with the performance improvement! To say it wakes up this engine would be an understatement! It improves power from idle to as far as you can Rev it! Throttle response and drive ability are also noticeably improved both in GPS data and the much more important seat of the pants-o-meter!

If I hadn't been fortunate enough to have already had the performance header I would have certainly gotten the header option. It is the combination of better air flow in (air filter and adaptor), more fuel (bigger carb jet & e-tube), more air out (performance header). Addressing all areas of engine performance at once gives you the largest improvement while laying the necessary foundations for all future upgrades!

Next up:
Torque Convertor!
Billet flywheel (non hemi)!
Better valve springs!
Although new wheels and tires are probably going to be the next upgrade (safety) I am currently running on mix-matched wheels and tires from garage donations 12-8 (or9)-6 and 11-6-6 because with the speeds this thing is doing it is very difficult to control!

Great job Go Powersports! You've gained a customer for life!
