Prespo is more than just an online shop for kart parts.
Since 1995, karting has been part of our daily life it all started as a personal passion. Today we support hobby drivers, professional racers and racing teams as a trusted partner, supplier and technical advisor.
Our philosophy is simple:
Selling parts alone is not enough. Components must work on track technically precise, reliable and race-proven.
High product quality is therefore a fundamental requirement for everything we offer.
Prespo grew out of hands-on work in karting.
What originally started as a hobby and technical support within the racing environment gradually developed into a specialized supplier for the entire karting sector. Everything from a single source, combined with technical expertise and years of experience.
Since the 1990s we have spent countless days at kart tracks, supporting drivers in many different classes from beginners to ambitious racers. This experience continues to shape both our product range and our technical advice.

Karting is technically demanding. Many problems arise not from the wrong parts, but from incorrect decisions or unsuitable applications.
That is why we operate differently from typical online shops:
"We dont simply sell everything we only offer what has proven itself."
We only offer products that we can technically stand behind.
Not every high-margin item automatically becomes part of our range.
For us, it is essential that:
Especially for safety-critical or technically sensitive components, we rely on proven manufacturers and clear recommendations.
Many questions in karting cannot be answered with simple charts:
We answer these questions based on real experience.
And we are happy to share that knowledge through personal advice, category guides and technical articles on our website.
We see ourselves not only as a parts supplier, but as a technical partner and a reliable service provider.
This means for us:
If something does not make sense or is not the right solution, we will tell you openly.
Whether you are a beginner, hobby racer or ambitious driver:
We help you understand your kart better, use it correctly and run it reliably.
