I mean, what do you think of the Segway tours in downtown DC? Now swap the Segways for go karts, going up and down Pennsylvania Avenue, Constitution Avenue, Memorial Bridge etc. in hordes...
I strongly advise against the experience--I mean, Maricar isn't even licensed by Nintendo, and are mired in a legal battle over the name "Maricar."
They aren't mired in a legal battle and that shouldn't have anything to do with driving the karts.
The Segways aren't that much an issue. The bigger issue now are folks on Lime and other electric scooters. Just like with bicycles, they don't obey the rules of road or sidewalk. I just had a person on a electric scooter riding in the street in Alexandria.....the middle of the street.
I guess no one here has gone on the Maricars and that's cool. I just trying to pick ya brain cuz I'm only going once.
