Try the Wild Side of Karting with Steen's Pole-Cat
When Steen’s was pushing boundaries in the 1960s, they weren’t just making mini-bikes, they were also taking karting to the next level. Enter the Steen’s Pole-Cat, a machine that looked small but packed a serious punch.
The Pole-Cat wasn’t your average go-kart. With its beefy frame, twin-engine setup, and raw design, it was built to do one thing: go fast. Steen’s brought the same rebellious, innovative spirit that made the Frijole mini-bike famous into the karting world, giving adrenaline-hungry riders a new way to test their limits.
Much like Steen’s other creations, the Pole-Cat became more than just a machine; it was a statement. It embodied Southern California’s golden age of speed culture, where garages doubled as workshops, and young riders were willing to push anything with wheels to the edge.
Today, the Pole-Cat stands as a reminder of a fearless era, when ingenuity and passion meant more than polish and perfection. Strapping into one wasn’t just about racing; it was about joining a movement that celebrated grit, freedom, and the thrill of speed.
Because when Steen’s built the Pole-Cat, they weren’t just making a kart - they were making history at full throttle.
