The Arrow Smart-Kart is sized for five-to-nine-year-old kids, but that won't stop me from trying to drive it.

Top speed is a bonkers 12 mph. Where were these when I was a kid?

A sensor in the nose provides collision avoidance by automatically stopping Arrow if an obstacle is detected.

Pedals are adjustable to accommodate kids' ages as they hit those growth spurts.

A companion app allows parents to limit speed, geofence specific areas, and stop the kart on a dime. The Arrow app is available for iOS and Android devices.
