SQ HAS CROSSED THE FINISHING LINE
Finally after four years of development – blood, sweat and almost tears – we’ve done it. Competitive, race-ready, affordable karting is now available in Australia. So let’s go have some fun.
A number of people have said “We were waiting for someone to do this” and a few have even said they were "seriously thinking of making a kart". Now it’s done, you, the karter, can benefit.
HOW CAN IT BE OFFERED AT SUCH AN ATTRACTIVE PRICE?
Simple. It isn’t cheap – $3,749.00 is still a lot of money – but it’s affordable.
The whole kart package can be offered at such an affordable price because we make EVERYTHING –the CDI ignition system, the chrome molly tubing chassis, the CNC billet alloy components, cast the engine, drop forge the connecting rods and pistons.
THE CHEETAH™ ENGINE
Why have karters been paying around $3,000 for a TAG engine? It's just a single cylinder 2-stroke engine. Yes, they are engineered for performance – the best bearings, brand name carburetors and produce 27-30 HP but consider that a complete 2 stroke whipper-snipper sells in major retail chains for around $69.00.
So imagine... going to a factory that has all the in-house engineering skills along with the mass manufacturing skills required to build a performance 2-stroke race engine for a fraction of the current market-leading engines. Well four years of research and development has led to the birth of the Cheetah™. All the best features of all the leading engines wrapped up into one engine for an affordable $1899.
