The BattleKart concept

BattleKart is an indoor electric karting concept, to which augmented reality provides an immersive video game environment. In semi-darkness, you drive a kart on the track, whose elements are dynamically video-projected from the ceiling.

Thanks to a patented localisation system and game management by the servers, the karts interact with the projected scenery as well as the other karts. In addition, each player receives various and useful information, in real time, on a screen attached to the kart’s chassis, and uses their bonuses thanks to buttons placed on their steering wheel.

BattleKart is a life-size video game console (with 5+ different game modes), an ultra-innovative concept in which technology knows how to stay invisible in order to offer the best experience to the players (up to 12 per track – 24 under certain conditions) whether or not they are used to karting and video games.

A leisure activity which, since 2015, has captivated over 3M people of all ages, from families and friends to corporate teams. A solid concept in terms of technology, market attractiveness, and the profitability of its business model.

A fast-growing international franchise network bringing the BattleKart experience to 10+ countries, with strong local partners and a proven, scalable model designed for long-term success.

A unique, reliable, and future-oriented concept

Unique, attractive & immersive

Thanks to a technology that knows how to be discreet, offer to your customers a unique, immersive experience. The wow effect is guaranteed, ensuring a very high level of customer satisfaction in the long term.

Reliable

The first years of BattleKart’s growth before opening to franchisees were used to build a stable, solid technical solution (software, hardware) in all circumstances. Our franchisees can testify!

Easy to deploy and operate

Our concept is virtually plug and play and requires very little technical expertise to install – especially with the support we provide. The activity can be managed efficiently with minimal staff, even across one or two tracks.

The high level of automation and the interconnection of systems (reservation: Booking, admin: ERP, scoring, etc.) increases efficiency and reduces human intervention: registration, creation of games, calling of players, boarding, game progress, display of scores, replay, etc.

Flexible

We offer two types of business models:

  • Permanent BattleKart centres set up in dedicated buildings
  • Semi-permanent BattleKart centres, operational during the 200 to 300 days a year that the exhibition halls are unoccupied

The BattleKart concept is already present in 8 exhibition halls around the world (in Kortrijk, Marche-en-Famenne, Cologne, Antwerp, Paris, Vienna, Breda and Malmedy).

Future-oriented

Our development team is constantly adding new features to the software, as well as to the game modes, and aims to bring new game modes and/or updates to the game every year. There is no shortage of projects (bar/track interaction, third-party development, specific team-building modes, children, etc.), which means that the appeal of the concept is constantly renewed.

A solid, growing network

From a simple idea to a future engineer’s end-of-study project, and then to a proof of concept, BattleKart opened in Mouscron (Belgium). By May 2025, more than 3.3 million players had experienced BattleKart in more than 50 different complexes, opened successively in Europe, Australia, the Middle East and North America. Numerous projects are underway with a view to opening in the next months…

A diverse B2C target

BattleKart appeals to everyone, from 12 to 70 years old. One of the strengths of the concept is its accessibility, both physical and fun.
Thus, from 1.45m and with no age or other limit, you can access the activity and enjoy it. The age groups most represented are those between 14 and 44.

Accessibility is also expressed in the fun aspect of the activity: you don’t need to be a pilot or a pro-gamer to win a game. Groups of friends and families are therefore very well represented, as are participants in birthday parties or bachelor/bachelorette parties.

Another corollary of this accessibility of the game, with lesser physical constraints and the absence of a suit or helmet compared to traditional karting: the proportion of women who play BattleKart is much higher than in motor sport–oriented hobbies (more than a third of the players in Mouscron are women).

A B2B target that’s having fun…

BattleKart is also very popular with businesses – with the overall awareness of your center, and a little canvassing, your turnover could very quickly be 30% corporate events.

With the advantage that these are mostly organised during the week or even during the day, at times when your B2C customer is not around, or in a smaller proportion than at weekends.

From incentives (staff days, end-of-year parties…), to results or new product presentations, to team-building sessions, the entertainment offered appeals to all age groups and levels of responsibility within companies. Events for up to 200 participants can easily be hosted on the tracks. The tool even allows you to customise the graphics of the game (bonuses, track design) to the client company brand image.

…or that has fun while working!

Choice of game modes, precise configuration, bonuses, scores calculation, or development of specific game modes: the existing possibilities for customisation and the potential for evolution in team-building are infinite. The current deployment of game modes already offers the possibility of creating games dedicated to measuring the cohesion of a group, the functions (offensive, defensive, collaborative, etc.) of the various individuals within the group, etc.

Another part of the B2B public comes from the hosting of groups of young people (schools, youth centres, holiday camps, organised trips, etc.).

Venue & investment

A suitable building

To provide the best customer experience, we recommend a rectangular surface of 60m x 30m (1,800 m²), i.e. approximately 200 ft x 100 ft (20,000 ft²), free of columns or obstacles. Such a layout allows 12 karts to run simultaneously. The franchisee must therefore purchase 18 karts (12 in use + 6 charging), ensuring continuous operation without battery downtime.

At a minimum, a BattleKart track must be 24m wide and 45m long (1,080 m²), i.e. approximately 80 ft x 150 ft (12,000 ft²), again with no columns or obstacles. Beyond the surface area itself, both the minimum width and minimum length are mandatory. This layout supports 10 karts simultaneously. The franchisee must then purchase 15 karts (10 in use + 5 charging), to ensure uninterrupted operation.

The initial investment

The initial investment (to open a one-track BattleKart center) is around 600,000 euros. This investment provides you with all the necessary equipment to operate your BattleKart centre (video projectors, karts, additional equipment, training for your team, booking system, etc.), excluding the building.

It's up to you to decide whether you want to finance this amount using equity alone, or by calling on external sources of finance (banks, business angels, etc.).

Entrepreneurial profile

To play and enjoy BattleKart, you just need a child’s soul, not an instruction manual. In the same way, to manage and grow a BattleKart center, you just need an entrepreneurial and leadership spirit, not a Master in IT or a mechanics degree. Experience in entrepreneurship or team management is a great addition!
