Etymology
The term 'kart' originates from the early 1950s when it referred to small recreational vehicles built for racing. The word is derived from 'go-kart', a phrase that became popular as these vehicles gained prominence in the motorsport community. Initially, karts were simple, home-built machines often made from discarded parts. They were designed for fun, but as the sport grew, manufacturers began producing specialized karts for racing competitions. Over time, karting evolved into a recognized motorsport, with its own regulations and racing circuits, attracting enthusiasts of all ages. The popularity of karting has led to a range of designs, including electric models, further diversifying its appeal.
