At Costanoa in Pescadero, the PRIME TRACKER (red) is a two-up tandem pedal kart built for family and friend outings: two independent drive stations, six-position adjustable seats, and an articulated front end that delivers smooth, confident handling. Bring younger children along in one or two rumble seats (each rated up to 40 lbs) while older kids or adults steer and pedal together for a shared, low-impact ride across the park.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE RIDE

Two Independent Drives, One Shared Experience

The tandem kart features two independent steering and pedal sets, plus six-position seat adjustments so riders of different sizes stay comfortable; the frame handles up to 500 lbs total, making it a true two-up machine.

THE FAMILY LENS

Rumble Seats Let Little Ones Tag Along

Add one or two rumble seats so younger children can ride along while older kids or adults provide pedaling power and steering—each rumble seat is rated for up to 40 lbs.

THE HANDLING

Built for Control: Brakes, Bearings and Reverse

Expect an articulated front-end, a patented transmission with reverse, coaster pedal braking plus hand brakes, a standard parking brake, sealed ball bearings, and positive steering joints for predictable responsiveness.

What the day feels like

What the Ride Feels Like

Together you pedal and steer, sharing power through independent drives while the kart’s tuned steering and bearings smooth out park pavement. Adjustable seats make it easy to dial in comfort for mixed-size riders, and the option to add rumble seats turns the tandem into a multi-generation runabout for short outings or longer exploratory loops.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this kart fits—and who should consider alternatives.

1
Active FamiliesWell suited for families wanting a shared activity: older children (7+) can ride as drivers/pedalers while younger kids ride in rumble seats (each up to 40 lbs); the kart supports up to 500 lbs total.
2
Two-Up DuosDesigned for two riders with independent steering and pedals and adjustable seats, making it a good match for friends or partners who want to share propulsion and control.
3
Larger or Heavier RidersThe frame carries a combined maximum of 500 lbs; groups near that total should plan seating and load accordingly and confirm limits with the operator before riding.
4
Families with Small ChildrenA practical option if small children ride only in the rumble seats—the seats are rated up to 40 lbs each—but children younger than the headline age should ride in the rumble seat rather than a primary seat.
