βI had an awesome experience at E-Volt Racing Matakana and would 100% recommend it to anyone looking for a fun day out. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming and exciting, and everything was run professionally. The electric go-karts were seriously impressive-they accelerated incredibly fast, handled really well around the corners, and the F1-style push-to-pass boost button made every lap even more exciting. The track itself is a lot of fun, with plenty of twists, turns, and unique features that keep every race competitive and entertaining. The facility is clean, well organised, and it's obvious that a lot of effort has gone into creating an awesome racing experience. A huge shoutout to Bjorn, who absolutely made the experience even better. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and happy to help with anything we needed. He explained everything clearly, made everyone feel comfortable before racing, and had a great attitude the entire time. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and wants everyone to have the best experience possible. Customer service like that is hard to find these days, and it really stood out. Bjorn is honestly the GOAT. Overall, I'd easily give E-Volt Racing Matakana 5 out of 5 stars. Whether you're racing with friends, family, or just looking to beat your personal best, it's an amazing experience that's well worth it. I'll definitely be coming back again, and hopefully I'll get another chance to race with Bjorn there. Thanks for such an unforgettable day! PS. Bjorn is the pea to my pod π.β

βAwesome time down at E-volt racing for the FireFighters race-off (Matakana vs Warkworth) the staff where great, very professional and clear going over the safety for the pre and during racing. the course is so much fun and you can push the karts pretty hard if your confident at driving and we did push them hardπ. Would definitely recommend checking these guys out.β
