5 Places You Can Drift a Kart (That Aren’t a Track)

The beauty of drift karting is that you don’t need a closed-course racetrack to get sideways. One of the biggest advantages of an electric drift kart is how versatile it is — quiet, clean, low-profile, and built for tighter spaces.
If you’re wondering where you can actually use a kart like this, here are five legit options.
1. Skateparks (Yes, Really)
Smooth concrete, tight transitions, banked turns — skateparks are perfect for kart drifting. Just make sure it’s not crowded and you’re not getting in the way of skaters. Early mornings or off-hours are ideal.
Skateparks also help build:
- Drift line accuracy
- Quick transitions
- Low-speed car control
2. Parking Garages
Empty garages are a drifter’s playground. Clean floors, wide open turns, and no weather to worry about. Bonus: the acoustics are sick.
Just be smart — stay safe, and don’t damage property. Early morning or late night when it’s empty is your best shot.
3. Abandoned Lots or Tennis Courts
Old blacktop areas or city lots are great places to lay down some lines. Look for smooth pavement and minimal obstacles.
Bonus points if you bring cones or chalk to set up clipping points.
4. Your Driveway (If It’s Big Enough)
Have a wide driveway or concrete pad? You can practice your initiations and countersteer right at home. No commute = more seat time.
Just make sure you’re not chewing up gravel or tearing into landscape.
5. Schoolyards or Business Lots (After Hours)
Schools and small business lots often sit empty on weekends or evenings. These are great low-traffic areas for consistent practice — just be sure it’s legal and respectful.
