Hi,

Thanks to Dave and Gareth for the insights on my question. :-)

I have another: do you keep the original brake configuration -
rear/left and front/right or do you switch them? In my country the
bikes have the rear wheel brake lever on the right. Is the KMX
original configuration an exception in the world (maybe somewhat
related to the whole opposite side of the road driving in the UK?) or
does this vary a lot?

I'm about to order a bunch of karts to rent and sell and I was
planning on having the brakes switched, but then I started to wonder
if it was worth it. We started thinking about it after realizing that
many people would press the front brakes hard and hit the pedals or
that other part on the front for which I don't recall the english word
right now, hard on the pavement (thus damaging the kart a bit, on the
surface). We're thinking of buying some stunt wheels to help prevent
this a bit, too, but it might be because people are used to use more
the rear brake, and that would mean pressing the lever on the right,
around here...

We've been showing the karts around in fairs and some events, offering
free test drives to the (many) interested passers-by, in order to
promote this new thing and to gain some hands-on experience with it
(for example, learn what it can stand, see what little problems come
up, discover the little details of how it works and performs, and so
on), so we got to see this "brake and hit" happen often.

Thanks again.

Cheers,

Ana
