Evolt Karting Selangor: The Complete 2026 Guide (Prices & Tips)
Over a recent weekend, I had the chance to check out Evolt Karting. It’s a nice spot on the outskirts of town near Subang Airport, but it is a great spot to hang out with friends and go absolutely pedal to the metal for an hour or two. Here’s what I thought of my experience at Evolt Karting Selangor!
It markets itself as the Number 1 indoor electric karting centre, and the flagship in Selangor sits in Shah Alam, a comfortable 20 mins from the Kuala Lumpur side. I did find it pretty unique that it is a space all on its own - the whole building with a lot of space are all incorporated in. Note: I’ve had two other experiences Go Karting - one is Formula Karting at The Strand Mall, the other being at Sunway X Park. This is a bit more like X-Park in that respect, a standalone building purpose built for Go Karting.
First Impressions
I think what stands out about Evolt vs other Petrol options would be that it is super clean. Could be because it is new, and the fact that it is an Electric Kart - so you don’t have the smell of the fumes and all, but it is a tidy place - even with a viewing deck where those that don’t feel like racing have a nice air conditioned room to chill out and watch all the racing action. There’s even a cafe of sorts where you can buy some small snacks and drinks while you watch all the racing action. The unique thing is that at night, it even changes its vibe. The pitlane and the track light up neon, and you can actually get some really cool looking photographs!

How it Works: Bookings, Sessions, Formats & Race Categories
Walk-ins are accepted, and you don’t necessarily need to book - although you’re gambling a bit in that respect. You’ll have to turn up 30 mins earlier for registration and the mandatory driver's briefing otherwise you’ll lose your booking slot regardless. There are 3 race categories: Novice, Advance, and Professional. If you’re new and it is your first time, you’ll naturally be driving the Novice category. You’ll only be able to move up in category when you meet the cutoff time of 48 seconds in the Novice Category, and 42 seconds in order to get to the Pro category. The vehicle is the same, they just take off the ‘training wheels’. Novice drives up to 40km/h, Advance up to 70km/h, and Pro up to 90km/h.
You’ve got a few ways to play it:
Single Sessions - 8 mins of track time. It’s the cheapest way to get a karting experience. The only thing is, it might not really feel like you’re racing, as everyone is released separately - i.e. if someone is released 20 seconds before the next person, you really aren’t racing fairly. So mainly, I would say this is more about setting a fast lap to compare against each other
Mini Grand Prix - I actually tried the mini grand prix, but I think it is enough to tell you about how the Grand Prix standard will feel like - as the only thing that differs is some additional practice time. You will get 8 mins of qualifying - so the idea here is you want to use the earlier minutes to test out the limits of the car and then afterwards try and find a clean part of the lap to set a fast lap. Don’t bother with racing anybody here, as what you want is just one clean lap (note where the lap starts and finishes - it is NOT at where the pit lane is.
Your fastest lap will be taken into account, and then you’ll take your place on the starting grid in the positions that you qualified in, then you’ll go all out for 8 laps in their race format.Standard Grand Prix - I generally think that most people won’t need the Standard Grand Prix. Qualifying time should be more than enough time to get to grips with the car and understand how you can drive better. Although note that I did have a friend driving that really dropped his time and understood the car properly maybe halfway into the race - at the time which he wasn’t really racing with the leaders already, so maybe if you’re serious about racing, that’s the only consideration.
Day Pass - Only if you’re really serious, you will basically race the day away
Prices and What’s Included
Here’s the breakdown of the prices as of Jun 2026. Just treat this as a guide on the rate and confirm with them at the time. What’s included in a session: Kart, Helmet, Safety Briefing. What’s not included: balaclava (mandatory, you can bring your own), gloves (not mandatory, but can purchase on the spot - I recommend just purchasing). Balaclava and gloves are RM5 individually, but they do sell them for RM8 as a set. This prices are all net - all after taxes, everything included (prices in the image listed below). The one VERY important detail is that by using a UOB Card, you actually get a 20% discount. So I HIGHLY recommend you don’t pay first, pay when you get there with someone’s UOB card.
Tips & Tricks
You’re going to need to way closed shoes, otherwise you won’t be allowed to race, there is also free parking at the venue, so it is really convenient in that respect.
What I’ll say about electric karts is that it is really smooth. Come out of the corner and you’re back at top speed a lot quicker. Generally, if you’ve tried petrol karts, electric karts have instant torque on corner exit and the car decelerates more smoothly when you lift of the accelerator. Generally, you have to brake later but more progressively - as it already slows a lot more when you lift. Don’t stamp on the brake that much - as it really destabilizes the car. I’d recommend carrying a small amount of brake into the apex to help rotate the kart, but the faster drivers in my group were generally saying you don’t even to press the brake. But I guess, try it during practice, otherwise you’ll spin off and the leaders will go off far away. There really is a difference!
