At Costanoa in Pescadero, the PRIME TRACKER (blue) is a purpose-built tandem pedal kart that doubles the drive: two independent steering and pedal stations, six-position adjustable seats, and a rumble-seat option for small children make it a targeted choice for families and pairs seeking a smooth, shared ride.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Tandem design with full controls for both riders
The PRIME TRACKER features two independent drive systems — steering wheels and pedal sets for each rider — plus six-position adjustable seats so partners of different sizes can both steer and pedal comfortably.
Multiple braking options and a parking brake
Designed for controlled family outings, the kart includes coaster pedal braking, hand brakes, a standard parking brake, and a patented transmission with reverse to help manage starts, stops and tight turns.
Bring the littlest riders along
Add one or two rumble seats so younger children can ride shotgun while older kids or adults supply the power; each rumble seat supports children up to 40 pounds.
What the day feels like
What the ride feels like
The PRIME TRACKER is a hands-on, cooperative ride: two people share propulsion and steering while the kart’s sealed ball bearings, positive steering joints and heavy-duty connections keep handling smooth. It’s engineered for short excursions around Costanoa’s paved loops, where families can trade turns and enjoy a steadier, low-speed cruise together.
