Yeah I could see a larger more aggressive rider tearing up the front end pretty quick on this thing. She is only about 80lbs and it seems to hold up pretty good with just her in it. She is not nearly as daring as I am & if I were looking for something for myself I wouldn't go with a Yerf dog. I will say the kart has exceeded my initial expectations as far power and versatility. When buying it I didn't really know what to expect, but these karts have come along way since I was a kid.
