WHICH ONE SUITS YOU?
Read more →Here at ATK Towers we have watched our range of karts grow rapidly over the past three years. Not only do our young customers have a choice of ride, we are now selling an adult kart too so that Mums and Dads can join in the wooden go-karting fun too. Well reviewed by Wired magazine, recommended by Theo Paphitis, The Times and The Telegraph (Daisy Bridgewater) we've built quite a following! We have a range of three children's go karts: ATK Start At £119.99 the Start is our basic model designed to get you on a set of wheels (with a fitted dual-action brake of...

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE ATK?
Read more →As some of you may know, we have recently been running a promotion via our Facebook page, which has sparked a lot of interest.

RECONNECTING OUR CHILDREN WITH NATURE
Read more →Project Wild Thing is an organisation set up by a team of people committed to reconnecting our children with nature. They recently organised a Swarm at Ashton Court in Bristol which, on the first day, hosted a conference for teachers, web developers, marketing specialists etc who were asked to help develop Natures Marketing Department in an effort to re-sell what is all around us and encourage parents to get their children back playing outside and away from their PS4s! This is their video of the event. Please take a few minutes to watch it; it's really rather good and even...

THAT CHRISTMAS DILEMMA
Read more →What do we buy the children for Christmas? It's a real dilemma. Will it be something fun, challenging or a toy that gets them outdoors? The ATK Go-Kart offers a simple solution - all three things in one great package. Loved by girls and boys alike the ATK starts with the bonding experience of you building the kart together with your child, an opportunity that is all too rare nowadays. With it's chunky all-terrain tyres, the ATK then gets the kids out in the fresh air enjoying all the thrills and spills that outdoor play offers. They can roar...

WATCH THE ATK BEING ASSEMBLED
Read more →If you're wondering exactly what's involved in building the ATK, then wonder no more. Christopher (with a bit of help from a friend) has made a great demonstration video showing what comes in the ATK Classic box and how it's assembled.

THAT BONDING MOMENT - WITH AN ATK GO-KART
Read more →Isn't it a great feeling - making something with your children when you're all involved. Be it a cake, a Blue Peter rocket or a tree house, there's nothing quite like it. They're happy, you feel good about it and pretty clever, if it works! That's what we love about the ATK - you can all get involved and everything really does fit beautifully. We supply the tools that you need and are very proud of our instruction leaflet, even if us guys don't always read them. In around 30 -45 minutes (depending on how many cups of tea...

SO WHAT MAKES THE ATK SO SPECIAL?
Read more →Several people we’ve talked to about the ATK have said that we’re far too shy about what makes it so special? It’s not simply that it’s been designed by a top London designer so that it looks really cool. It also has had a huge amount of thought go into how it’s made. So here goes; the techie stuff: The plywood body of the ATK is high-quality ply. The axles and brake are made from mild steel which is zinc-plated then powder coated. This means that it’s protected from rust. The nuts and bolts are all stainless-steel and will remain...

CUSTOMER LOVE
Read more →When you're selling a great product and everything goes as planned, keeping customers happy is easy. However we are all human and, no matter how hard you try, occasionally things do go wrong. It's then that you have to work hard to put things right as quickly and painlessly as you can, particularly when it's children who are involved. And particularly if it's a present. Try telling a 7 year old on Christmas Day that they can't play on their new ATK because there's a bit missing. Last Christmas we had three teams of people standing by with spare...

SAFETY TESTING
Read more →Safety testing is a crucial part of the development process of any toy. Designing toys that appeal to children can be a challenge but making sure that they are safe is vital. The days of the Kite Mark are long gone; it's now EU Directive EN71 and the "CE" Mark that are required before you can sell your toy in the European Market. And even in the days of the nanny state, no-one would argue that it's sensible. In the case of the ATK it doesn't make the product any less fun - it just makes it safe. There are...
