The Extreme Drift. It reaches 11 MPH on a 36V battery. The Garvee runs on 24V, so its top speed is lower.

Which is better for a younger child?

The Garvee's 24V setup is gentler for younger riders. The Extreme Drift's 11 MPH setting is graded 13+, though its parent speed lock lets you cap it lower.

Is the Extreme Drift worth $499.00?

If you want 11 MPH, a 36V battery, a speed lock and a 130 lb capacity, yes. If your rider is small and slow speeds are fine, the Garvee may save money.

How much weight does each hold?

The Extreme Drift holds up to 130 lbs. Garvee does not publish a weight capacity, so check with the seller before buying.

Which lasts longer per charge?

The Extreme Drift's 36V battery should give more run time than the Garvee's 24V pack. Exact minutes depend on speed setting and rider weight.

Yes. The Extreme Drift uses high-grip front tires and slick rear wheels to slide. Garvee markets its kart as a drift kart but gives no tire details.
