About

Kart1 in Carlsbad is the exclusive worldwide distributor of OTL ElectroKart electric go-karts, supplying turn-key karting systems to indoor and outdoor entertainment venues from its Edison Place headquarters. Founded in 2002, the company has equipped more than 300 facilities across 30-plus countries with OTL kart fleets, Protex karting barrier systems, and Sakamoto racing tires, alongside services that complement the SFI-rated safety gear produced by co-tenant K1 Racegear Pro Shop in the same building. Kart1's remanufacturing program rebuilds OTL chassis, electric motors, battery chargers, and accelerator assemblies to factory specifications, extending fleet life for high-throughput commercial operators. The distribution catalog also supports motorsports rental businesses and concession operators such as Route 101 Motorsports that depend on consistent parts pipelines for concession-grade vehicle fleets. OTL's EGK and EGK Duo electric kart platforms use lithium-ion packs with integrated floor-charging contacts, delivering sub-four-second 0-to-30 acceleration on indoor circuits rated for up to 45 mph.
