Does Ken-Bar still make all of there go karts in the USA? I think they may be the last survivor in this regard if so.

Manco doesn't really exist any more. American Sportworks bought them too!

I'm kinda ok with it though because they keep a stock of parts for all of these and that is important!

Default Manco

I was just talking to the America Works to day about them makeing them in the U.S.They told me they tried to keep makeing them in the U.S but just could not compete.Too bad.They now like all others come from China.But I tell you those folks at America Works are great people to talk to.

Being made in China isn't totally a bad thing. It is a matter of who the actual manufacturer is. So far, American Sportworks seems to be using a decent manufacturer.

the only ones that are really made in the U.S are carters. and they are slow to get. like buggymester said all chinese are not the same. it depends on what plant is making them
