The Latest All-Electric Go-Karts
Of course, people all over Greater Township County will flock to K1 Speed Traverse City for its authentic indoor kart racing experience. So naturally, they have the very latest go-karts that K1 Speed has to offer!
Adults and teens 4’10” or taller can drive the Superleggero karts. These karts can approach 45 miles per hour! And any young racing fans out there who are at least 48″ or taller can drive our Junior Kart that can go up to 20 miles per hour.
A One-of-a-Kind Indoor Track
Like our other locations, K1 Speed Traverse City has a one-of-a-kind track layout! This track is professionally designed to challenge both first-timers and experienced racers alike!
More Fun Outside the Track!
The fun doesn’t end when the checkered flags flies at K1 Speed Traverse City. When you’re done racing, head over to their arcade which is stocked with tons of entertaining games. They’ve got arcade games (both the classics and new favorites), redemption games, prize machines, pool tables, and games-of-skill like basketball hoops!
The arcade is also perfect for anybody not interested in racing or who doesn’t meet our height requirements. This makes K1 Speed Traverse City fun for all ages!
Recharge at the Paddock Lounge!
When you’ve found your batteries are running low from wheel-to-wheel kart racing and setting high scores in the arcade, then make a pit stop over at the Paddock Lounge! This onsite eatery features tons of delicious food items from pizza and wings to BBQ brisket sliders and burgers!
And to wash it all down, they’ve got a wide variety of soft drinks, Red Bull energy drinks, and iced teas and water.

Can kids under 48 inches ride with an adult?
Staff Writer
Hi, Katie! Sorry, all of our karts are single-seaters so it’s not possible for those younger to ride with an adult. That said, we do have plenty of fun things to do off the track that kids under 48″ can enjoy. Hope to see you soon!

It would of been nice if bumper cars was added, those seem to be a rare find.
Staff Writer

Greg
Whats the weight limit on the go carts and how are they for bigger adults?
Staff Writer
Hello, Greg! Our weight limit is around 300 lbs, but ultimately just depends if a person can fit comfortably in our karts and can operate the kart safely. Feel free to ask one of our team members to sit in a kart first before you pay anything to make sure! See you at the track!
