The Michael Schumacher Kart & Event-Center is the first kart facility equipped with LED front-, as well as backlights. The electric power is provided by the engine´s altinatorcoil to the power saving LED lights.

The proper battery technology and drive as well as the on-board electronics and engine control system have to be found and matched to each other. Years of basic research The development work started in 2007 led RiMO to - from today’s point of view - rather conventional drive solutions with DC motor, toothed belt drive, 1 drive shaft and lead-acid batteries. |

World class
Sportsmen aiming at top performance also put emphasis on top material. It is the same with Michael Schumacher. The seven-time Formula One World Champion early recognised the potential and quality of RiMO karts and has been placing his trust in our products for 15 years now. The result is a close and trustful relationship with winners on both sides. While it is our endeavour to provide the best material only, it is the kart track operator’s major goal to obtain reliable, cost-effective and visually attractive products. Considering these aspects, consistently market-oriented solutions have been developed since the RiMO EVO 1, resulting in the latest RiMO SiNUS iON. Trust in our world-class material and opt for the best. www.ms-kartcenter.de |

an unexpected boom in kart racing – the mother of all motor sports. Hundreds of kart tracks are opened in
Germany, Europe and all over the world.

becomes the topic of discussion in the market.
The rest is history.
