Mountain Karting

An outdoor activity, the Mountain Kart is an all-terrain machine with three wheels (two big ones at the back and a smaller one at the front), handlebars, two independent brakes (which makes driving quite technical), two places to put your feet and no engine like you might find on a normal go-kart. There are no pedals either, as Mountain Karting is for downhill use only.
