hey!1 We got the electric one a few years ago because I didn’t have the power to lift my kart when I was like 12. We only had one problem with it and that was when the motor gave out, we just got another motor and all is good. The thing I especially like is that I can lift the 330 pound kart with just a push of a button!!! 😀 The electric is significantly more expensive than the manual one, but you have to have a certain weoght proportion to the kart you are lifting and my dad (or I) didn’t have it so we got the electric, ever since we got it we have had no stressed backs or anything, the only disadvantage with ours is that in order to make sure it grabs the kart right, the front wheels don’t turn so you have to lean on the kart and stuff, but it is all worth it!!
