It is asking to you to instantiate a new go cart object. To do that you define a variable of the type GoKart and use the "new" keyword to create the object.

GoKart cart = new GoKart("blue");

Hello,

to create an object in Java, since Gokart is already predefined for us it would look something like

Object objectName = new Object(object parameters);

So this should look like

GoKart kart1 = new GoKart("green");
