Question

Whats the average speed of a go kart?

Answer 1

The racing kind can reach 100 mph or more.

Good Luck...

Answer 2

Depends on Engine size

For example, a young kids 3 1/2 HP Go Kart can go 10mph on Stubby tires.  

8HP you're talking around 35 MPH.

Once you get into racing you get into CC's which is a unit of measurement for the engine size.

Answer 3

That is impossible to answer without details.

small go karts are powered by a 3.5 hp engine like the one on a lawn mower go about 25-30 mph.

I have seen racing go karts powered by 1200cc motorcycle engines that go well over 100 mph.
