Velocity Karts

Velocity Karts was conceived in 2011 when a large number of Earthquakes had severely damaged Christchurch. The East of the city was especially hard hit, losing many houses, attractions, facilities and businesses. We decided to establish a little attraction to draw people to the East of the city so approached Council to lease 1.5ha of land. 3 years of consents and planning, a larger mortgage and in early 2015 we opened up. Now Velocity Karts is one of Christchurch’s leading activities on Tripadvisor, drawing people from all over the world for a unique kiwi invented experience. We have 2 purpose built tracks. Our activities are suitable for all the family from 8 yrs (younger may sail in a tandem blokart) to 80+. Carbon free wind powered blokart land yachts and electric motor powered driftkarts. Great for individuals, groups, schools, birthdays, corporate events etc. Full tuition is provided. Fun, as fast as you want to go, exhilarating, easy to learn and very safe, that’s blokart! Blokart hire $30 for 30 minutes per person, driftkart hire $25 for a 10 minute drift sessions.

NOTE: during Winter hours we are open Thursday to Sunday and "Open by Arrangement" from Monday to Wednesday, essentially for groups of 6 or more or smaller groups doing 1 hour blokart hire or combos of driftkart and blokart.
