■What kind of a car is ‘Akiba Kart’?
Akiba Kart is a ‘mini car’ that can be driven on public roads by anybody with a drivers license.
The body of the kart is red. Although it is a mini car, each kart has a valid license plate.
The maximum speed is 60km/h. If there is no set speed limit, the legal speed is also 60km/h.
Just like a normal car, the pedal under your right foot are the accelerators and the pedal under your left foot are your brakes.
The gear is on your left side. F (Forwards), N (Neutral), R (Reverse/Backwards). The karts operate on automatic gears.
Each kart has signal and hazard lights! It is harder to turn the steering wheel compared to a normal car.
The seats are adjustable. Anybody who is between 150 cm and 185 cm should have no problem driving the karts.
