The product, in the report: Taotao ATK125 red 124cc engine
I have a TaoTao brand go-kart for my kids. The machine has chronic problems with components rattling off due to the vibrations. Recently, the entire rear brake caliper fell of when the bolts vibrated out. I purchased new bolts. When I went to reassemble the brakes, it became evident that the caliper had been rubbing on the wheel assembly, damaging the bolts that hold the wheel onto the axle. Had these bolts worn completely through, the entire wheel would have fallen off. The machines are designed for young children and can achieve speeds in excess of 45 mph. This is very unsafe.Our neighbors also have one. The very first day they received it, the brakes failed and the kids drove, uncontrolled, into our garden, striking a fence.
