Invented by Tauranga’s Paul Beckett, the blokart is best described as a combination of go-kart and land yacht. It’s extremely lightweight and can operate in any wind direction. It weighs only 29kg and can be packed or unpacked into its carry-case in a matter of minutes. Its small size and extreme manoeuvrability means it can be used on any hard surface, such as beaches, car parks and tennis courts. It is also very easy to use and suitable for any gender, age or size.

There is a purpose-built track for hire machines at the blokart headquarters and manufacturing base at Blokart Heaven, 176 Parton Road, Papamoa, Tauranga. Phone 0800 4blokart or 07 572 4256.
