How the Kettcar for adults came about

In the rapidly advancing world of Electromobility innovative companies and start-ups strive to develop forward-looking vehicle solutions. Here, young start-ups like Time are characterized by creative ideas and unconventional approaches that established companies often shy away from.

The creation of the pedal car for adults can be traced back to the innovative idea of ​​Johannes Kremer in 2013. He wanted to further develop the classic children's vehicle (such as those from the Berg or Kettler brands) and make it attractive for adults by providing it with electrical support. Together with a friend, Johannes designed and built the first prototype of this exciting vehicle, which is hardly any different from pedal go-karts for children.

Inspired by this successful experiment, Johannes and his father, Dr. Werner Kremer, joined forces and turned to the Agit Institute in Aachen to get the support they needed to implement their project. The institute specializes in helping founders realize their ideas and offers help in various areas such as business management, prototype development, market launch and patent protection.

Through targeted cooperation with a network of experts, the institute was able to offer them the support they needed to make the Kettcar for adults a market-ready product. The Cit-Kar was developed as an E Kettcar for adults, supported by institutes and experts who accompanied the entire development process.

The collaboration between Kremer and the Wissen technology institute Time is an impressive example of the successful interplay of creativity and technical expertise.

Agit's mediation resulted in a fruitful partnership based on a comprehensive consulting agreement. This contract not only covers advice on material selection, but also supports constructive questions and all so-called make-or-buy decisions that arise during the development phase.

The lightweight Kettcar for adults differs from the competition through weather protection, ride comfort and an XXL frame that is designed for larger people and a higher load capacity.

The Cit-Kar is a versatile go-kart specially designed for adults and is characterized by its high load capacity and weather protection. It can be considered an electric go-kart for adults, offering innovative technical advantages such as a high load capacity and comprehensive weather protection.

The Kremers are already going public with the second prototype: They are presenting the Cit-Kar at the Velo trade fair in Hamburg and the Maker Faire in Berlin - with a very positive response. "We also made it to the final round of the Eurobike Award in our kart, took second place in the Gründen-live ideas competition and were nominated for the "Best of Startup" award," Johannes Kremer proudly lists the successes so far.

Cit-Kar essentially differs from the competition in terms of weather protection, but also in terms of driving comfort. "With our drive, we also have a range of 200 km and can carry up to 300 kg," explains Kremer. The loading volume of the transport box is up to 400 l, depending on the size. A lifting box with a capacity of 420 l, such as the one being tested by Amazon, is also conceivable.

And Cit-Kar can also use this Power Type pull a trailer or children's jogger, which makes the electric vehicle just as interesting for inner-city parcel delivery as it is for the safe transport of children. But tradespeople and service providers are also part of the target group. "With the range and the possibility of using cycle paths (not public roads), trips to the outskirts of cities are no problem," says Dr. Polzin confidently.

Great interest in the Kettcar for adults

Johannes Kremer, founder and now Berlin resident, reveals: "The interest is huge and we are very confident!" The Cit-Kar is presented as an electric go-kart for adults that not only makes a childhood dream come true, but also offers economic advantages such as lower operating costs.

The Kremers have made an impressive calculation that shows that the operating costs for the Kettcar are only around 60% of a conventional small car.

The environmentally friendly drive of the vehicle means that petrol costs, wear and tear and various fees such as insurance and taxes can be saved. In addition, the inspection costs for the Cit-Kar are significantly lower, which further reduces maintenance costs. Another special feature is that you can drive the innovative pedal car without a driver's license - just like a bicycle.

This opens up new mobility options for many people and helps make the Cit-Kar and its drive a real alternative to conventional means of transport.

FAQ

Which is the best kettcar for adults?

When it comes to finding the best pedal go-kart for adults, there is no one-size-fits-all answer in this article. The perfect go-kart for you depends largely on age, fitness level and desired use. One innovative model is the Cit-Kar, an electric go-kart for adults that offers a high payload and a range of 200 km. Especially with a go-kart for adults, it is important to pay attention to stability and load-bearing capacity, as is the case with this model.

If you're in your late 30s or older, you'll want to focus on a heavier model with more stability and better speed control. This is the case with a two-wheel drive Kettcar, which features dual disc brakes and adjustable suspension systems, as well as a higher-power motor. Top-of-the-range models include the EzyRoller Ultimate Kettcar or the Razor E200 Electric Scooter Kettcar, both of which come with regenerative braking systems for greater safety and an extra boost of energy when needed.

For those in their early 20s or younger who are looking for an adrenaline rush, a model in the single wheel drive category is recommended. These vehicles offer superior acceleration but have less stability due to their low center of gravity. Popular models include the Single Wheel X8 Kettcar, which has airless pneumatic tires and special dampers that allow for maximum maneuverability in tight corners. If the price is within this budget, you can also opt for an electric scooter like the Ninebot by Segway ES2, which reaches speeds of up to 24 km/h!

What is a Kettcar?

A Kettcar is a vehicle that is pedal-powered and does not require a motor. Originally designed as a toy for children, the Kettcar has evolved over the years and is now also available in versions for adults.
These vehicles, often referred to as electric Kettcars for adults, combine the classic pedal drive with modern technology such as an electric motor. Kettcars are ideal for outdoor activities and offer both children and adults a fun and environmentally friendly way to get around. The variety of models ranges from simple pedal cars for children to complex, motorized Kettcars for adults that are also suitable for everyday use.

What is the difference between a go-kart and a kettcar?

The main difference between a go-kart and a Kettcar is their drive and intended use. Go-karts are motorized vehicles, often used for racing activities, and offer high speeds. The Cit-Kar, an electric Kettcar for adults, is characterized by a high payload and a range of 200 km and makes a childhood dream come true.

Kettcars, on the other hand, are pedal-powered, child-friendly vehicles, ideal for safe play and physical activity. A pedal go-kart offers a similar experience, but is often designed for older children and adults. While pedal go-karts are designed for performance and speed, kettcars focus on fun and encouraging children to move.

How many kilos can a go-kart hold?

The weight capacity of a pedal go-kart varies depending on the model and design. On average, go-karts can support a weight of around 100 to 200 kilograms. Racing and professional go-karts are often designed to support higher loads, while recreational go-karts, which are often used in amusement parks and indoor tracks, may have lower weight limits.

It is important to follow the manufacturer's specific weight specifications to ensure safety and optimal performance.

Is a Kettcar street legal?

No, a Kettcar is generally not street legal. Kettcars are designed as play and leisure vehicles, mainly for children and for use on private property such as gardens and playgrounds. However, a Cit-Kar, which is designed as an E Kettcar for adults, offers technical advantages such as a high payload and a range of 200 km.

Due to their design and equipment, they do not meet the necessary safety and technical requirements for road traffic. Driving a Kettcar on public roads can therefore raise safety concerns and is not permitted.
