sideways is the way to go tbh, can fit much more tools n spares in aswell. Can only go on its side if its a 2 stroke though. ratchet straps ftw!

Like others say they are wide at the back especially with the slicks

But on the worse case remove the pods and wheels which only take around 5 minutes and its even more compact. In that way it'll fit into my galaxy with the seats still in the car or a 406 estate with the seats folded down if that gives you an idea

What kinda kart are you looking at?

I've got one and we just slide it in at an angle and wedge it against the internal glass rails on my mates sprinter. Before the rail was fitted it went straight in. It's easy to remove the bumper, side pods and wheels though
