Do you offer karts for people with reduced mobility?

Motorsport is a true passion that brings together thrill-seekers and adrenaline enthusiasts. Whether it is for the speed, mastering the racing line, or simply the enjoyment of racing, the driving experience should be accessible to everyone.

That is why many enthusiasts contact us with an important question: do you offer karts for people with reduced mobility? The answer is a resounding yes.

At ActionCenter in St. Vith, inclusion is one of our core values. In this detailed article, we explain how we make our track accessible and introduce the specially adapted mechanical solution available to you.

Our exclusive range of karts for people with reduced mobility

To meet your needs as precisely as possible, we are pleased to confirm that ActionCenter in St. Vith is equipped with a specially adapted kart. We understand that for drivers with lower-limb disabilities, such as paraplegia, amputation, or other leg-related mobility restrictions, using conventional accelerator and brake pedals is simply not possible.

That is why we have invested in specialist equipment for our track. If you are looking for karts for people with reduced mobility, our circuit features a unique model designed to provide exactly the same driving sensations as a traditional kart, but with a completely redesigned ergonomic setup.

A powerful 270cc engine and hand controls

Our adapted vehicle is not a basic kart or a simple leisure vehicle. It is a genuine racing machine powered by a highly powerful 270cc engine.

The main technical difference lies in the control system. On our karts for people with reduced mobility, the accelerator and brake are fully integrated into the steering wheel using a hand-control system, also known as “Handgas.” This allows the driver to control acceleration, braking, and steering entirely with their hands.

The chassis provides exceptional grip and excellent handling, ensuring an intense, sporty, and fully independent driving experience.

Safety aboard karts for people with reduced mobility

The safety of all our visitors is our top priority on the track. Using an adapted vehicle with hand controls requires special attention and support. Our team of track marshals is specially trained to assist you with care and professionalism throughout your visit.

As soon as you arrive at the track, we help you transfer from your wheelchair into the kart’s bucket seat. We take all the time necessary to make sure you are seated comfortably, adjust your helmet, and check that you are perfectly positioned to reach the steering wheel.

The safety briefing is also fully personalised. We make sure that you fully understand how the hand controls work before the powerful 270cc engine is even started.

How can you book your adapted driving session?

Il est essentiel de noter un point logistique crucial concernant notre flotte de véhicules. Actuellement, nous ne possédons qu’un seul et unique exemplaire de ce modèle de 270cc avec commandes au volant. Par conséquent, l’organisation de sessions avec des karts pour les personnes à mobilité réduite nécessite une planification préalable.

Il est absolument indispensable de nous contacter et de réserver votre course à l’avance. Si vous souhaitez venir piloter, envoyez-nous un e-mail ou appelez-nous avant votre visite à l’ActionCenter. Cela nous permet de bloquer le véhicule exclusivement pour vous, de préparer la piste et de garantir que votre expérience sera fluide et inoubliable. Sachez également que notre infrastructure dans les Cantons de l’Est est aménagée pour faciliter l’accès aux fauteuils roulants jusqu’aux abords de la piste.
