Opened in November 2018 and located at the Leetsdale Industrial Park off 65 just outside of Sewickley, Three Rivers Karting also provides year round seat time in electric karts.

Opened in June 2016 and located at the Monroeville Mall, Steel City Indoor Karting provides year round seat time in electric karts. While not quite as fast as the new OTL karts at Three Rivers Indoor Karting, the layout includes some Autocross friendly elements such as slaloms, a wide variety of turning radiuses (or radii if you're fluent in Latin), and kart adjustability in terms of seat placement and steering wheel placement. All necessary equipment is provided as part of the rental, and pricing is typically $12.50-$20.00 per race.
Pitt Race also offers kart rentals on its world famous .82 mile Wilson Circuit. While these are gas powered karts instead of electric karts, these aren't your typical "Fun Fore All" style karts, as these reach speeds up to 45 MPH. Be sure to check the hours on their website, as the track is frequently rented out for private events/practice and is used for national karting events. All necessary equipment is provided as part of the rental, and pricing is typically $20.25-$22.50 per race.
