Sulky cart
Sulky-racing is a sport that originated from Norway. However, it is still enjoyed by many people all over the world. Sulky racing is held on frozen lakes but most of the races are on specially constructed tracks. There are three types to a sulky car: the jog or race bike and the intermediate. Each of these types is built for a different purpose and has different features.
Race bikes
In cart racing, drivers ride on bikes instead of a traditional sulky. Race bikes are designed for speed and are more aerodynamic that jog wagons. In addition to their aerodynamic design, race bikes require more athleticism from the driver. The bike's poles are made of lightweight material to reduce its weight. Today's sulkies can also be lighter which results in quicker racing times.
Jog carts
The main difference between jog bikes and racing bikes lies in the fact that the former are lighter and have a longer shaft. Aluminum or carbon fiber are used for the latter. A jog cart has a seat that seats two people while a racing bike has a single seat. These bikes are also lighter than jog carts, which are often made of wood. Jog carts are more similar to bicycles than they are to cars, but they differ in several important ways.
Harness racing

It quickly spread from France to other parts of Europe and the USA, with races being held in Italy and Belgium. It was introduced into Sweden in the 1880s. At the end the century, it was also held in Austria (Germany) and Switzerland. However, it did not take off in Great Britain until the fourth century, when U.S. stock was imported to Australia and New Zealand. Harness racing gained popularity in the late nineteenth-century.
