Wondering about the rear crossbar on a Birel B25 kid kart chassis. Has anyone ever tried cutting this off to loosen up the kart? Would this work or would I just be destroying the kart???

You could cut a 8" section out of the middle and make it a removable torsion bar. This would allow you to try it out. If you don't like the results, get some extra wide shaft collars and clamp the piece back in place.

i agree with cutting a section and adding a bar if you don't likw, or leave it and get the PKT small hubs, it helped My daughter and Son alot to keep the rpm higher.

if you want to try them this weekend let me know ill take them with me and install them at the track and see if it helps her
