They do make a few sport carts, i climbed in a carter XTV-1150 once and i control mine (no suspension) pretty well...i darn near flipped that XTV at full speed (55 mph governor)..but i've since learned that the shocks on those aren't set anywhere near right..i should have know, i got mine from carter, and.....

new brake drums
new brake pads
new throttle cable (few times over)
