Technically revolutionary, the Birel ART electric leisure kart, the famous E-Kart, has the same ease of use as a conventional machine on every surface. In order to meet the constantly increasing demands in all conditions, Birel ART has tested its flagship product at high altitude on the Val Thorens ice circuit in the French Alps.
“Our mastery of electric power allows us to meet any request from the circuits or municipalities who wish to equip themselves with non-polluting recreational karts,” explains Nicola De Cola, Head of Development and Promotion at Birel ART Rental. “In extreme conditions, E-Kart has shown its full potential in terms of sliding and fun. The test drivers enjoyed themselves on the ice and snow of Val Thorens. For the technicians, it was an opportunity to test different configurations and fine-tune the final details in order to adapt the kart perfectly to this particular surface. The balance is very satisfactory with great satisfaction, both in terms of the engine from the American manufacturer Zero Motorcycles and the interchangeable Li-Ion batteries.“
Thanks to this baptism of ice, Birel ART’s E-Kart has demonstrated the full extent of its potential for eco-friendly leisure karting. With its well controlled weight, the E-Kart is the lightest on the market and provides extraordinary feelings, similar to driving a racing kart. Quiet and clean, it opens a new era for the Rental kart beyond the classic indoor tracks that have already adopted it successfully.
Its original and ultra-modern design make it the ideal machine to satisfy the most demanding requests. Its operation is still simple with its interchangeable batteries that can be recharged quickly via an ordinary connection to standard 220V electric current. Equipped accordingly, the E-Kart will be ready for investment the popular area of sliding on rinks or outdoor ice-flats, and therefore expand the range of activities proposed by the sites or communes at the forefront of innovation.
