Buckle Up, Coleman’s Backcountry Go-Kart Could Get a Little Bumpy

This'll look mighty fine parked next to your tent

Move on over, Mario Kart. We’re here for the real thing.

The camping honchos at Coleman are now offering a gas powered off-road go-kart, ready for you to channel fastrack fever in the backroads and backcountry.

Named the KT196, the vehicle seats two, can ferry up to four hundred pounds and runs a 6.5 horsepower CVT automatic transmission. It’s supported by a gritty skeletal frame and four tires eager to swerve and speed through some dusty brush — up to 31 miles per hour. Your soon-to-be favorite toy of 2018 comes in different colorways on Amazon, but we recommend splurging for it in camo. 

Watch out for those banana peels.
