Default Kinroad Kandi or Roketa 250cc go kart buggy??

I am looking at comparable prices for the Kinroad,Kandi and Roketa 250cc Go Kart Buggys. the Kinroad has 10" Front and 11" Back tires. The Kandi and Roketa have 8" Front and 10" Back tires. The Kinroad is "Out of Stock" MOST places.

Which one would all of you recommend for reliability, speed, ride, best bang for the buck, etc. ??

Thank-you VERY much in advance.

Kinroads have not been imported into this country for about 3 years now. Kinroad felt the investment necessary for EPA compliance along with the weak sales of units due to the economy was too expensive. They are considering bringing some in again in the future. If you do find a Kinroad you would want the Sahara-2 250cc model for the newer did have a better front suspension but the turn radius was less then addiquate, the fenders and lights were garbage for they break easily. Hopefully when they import again they have corrected these problems. So the bottom line is if you find a Kinroad you will want the Sahara-2, this is a good solid buggy. The Kandi buggy has a better front suspension and is a pretty good buggy but you will want the model with the rear independent suspension, the other model has the solid rear axle like the Kinroad. The biggest disadvantage in the Kaandi is the design of theit roll cage. In a flipover it will give good protection however due to the front bars running down the center as compared to other brands of buggies if driving through brush areas you will be getting wacked in the head with low branches and limbs since the bars are not out far enough to the side of the buggy. Even when wearing a helmet which one should always do you will get wacked in the neck and shoulder areas. This is not life threatening but an irritating inconvieniance. Other then that it as I said is a pretty good buggy. But get the independent rear suspension model. What is your location? I do have one Blade 250XT in stock. It has the 4 wheel independent suspension and is one of the roomiest buggies fo 2 grown adults. This is assembled and the breakin time on engine has been done, so it is a turn key buggy. Shipping would be more expensive since it is completely assembled. The buggy is a demo for show only which means it has not been customer driven. It has the 5 hour breakin time plus the loading and unloading when taking to shows. If interested you can PM me for more details. Joyner is currently working on EPA certification of a 250 buggy as well. It looks like it may be a fuel injected 250 CF moto engine, but it could be a month at least before it is available to the public. Everyone is currently having problems passing EPA certification with the 250cc engine. Hope this has helped your decission.
