Read more →We have seen from your feedback on Facebook that a lot of you look back with nostalgia at a time when you built your own wooden go-kart and the fun that you had doing it. That's music to our ears because we have similar memories and that's what led to Christopher and me starting ATK. Sadly times have changed and scavenging on the local dump for Silver Cross pram wheels is simply not possible, so launching the ATK was our way of offering today's children a chance to share in the fun that we had at their age. However some of you would still...

SO WHAT IS A RUN-FLAT TYRE?
Read more →We are gradually changing our wheels over to being fitted with run-flat tyres. So what is a run-flat tyre? In simple terms it's a wheel fitted with a proper canvas re-inforced rubber tyre (similar to the ones fitted to your car) but, instead of having an inflatable inner tube, it has a high-density foam insert: So why are we doing this? Because it gives you all of the advantages of a pnuematic tyre wheel with none of the hassles of keeping it blown up or dealing with punctures. But don't confuse these wheels with the wheels on a lot of buggies. They...

RICHMOND HILL SCHOOL - WACKY RACES
Read more →Richmond Hill Primary School in Leeds have just completed the most amazing project. The School purchased 20 ATK Wooden Go-Kart Starts from us, gave one to each class who were then challenged to "pimp" them, then put together a video showing what they had done. They then had to perform several different tasks with their karts and the best performer was awarded the top prize. Their efforts were stunning! Here are just a few of their videos:
