anyone have any info on powered beach carts

[blaster800]

skunkworks is still working on one ........ gasoline powered due to the high cost/weight and limited amount of stored energy in batteries . with gas you can go all day and refuel in 1 minute rather than refuel overnight on the grid . ! I may be able to supply pics soon ............. FWIW

just get a $100 chineese quad off craigslist and make a cheap and simple munt for your current beachchart IMO.

Do all those Chinese quads have reverse?

Anyone have a video of that guy standing on his, that thing is awesome?

This was my idea just use a small Chinese quad, if you can find one with reverse run it in reverse and steer it with a tiller arm from the back, essentially making it front wheel drive.

Time to wake up an old thread. Anyone have any ideas on how to attach a ball hitch on a dirt bike? I have a klx110 that I want to use to pull my beach cart around. It would be perfect if I could figure out a way and take up a lot less room than a quad. Plus when the beach cart isnt attached I can tear it up on the pit bike ;-)

Weld up a bracket/mount (think the letter "J") to the swing arm and put a ball in it. Better solution would be to weld bosses to the arm and have it be removable.

I doubt a bike will pull good on soft sand, but anything else it should be suffice.

looks nice , post up some more pics and specs,batt, diff,drive , on how you did it if you have time

we've been talking about making a gas powered one, using something like a honda ATC motor. If i pick up my enclosed, i may build a transport vehicle you ride, that can pickup and launch these things, almost like a mini forklift.

time will tell!

[CRJ]

is that an old snowblower?

were working on one now, as im tired of carrying my SN

 

[blaster800]

I combined 2 scag hydro walk behind mowers to give it 4x4 drive ,with a winch for lift and a honda vertical shaft aircooled eng ,you can get by with smaller tires .

 

[zimmy]

@blaster800 , you definitely have the best option out there!

I was browsing craigslist for some other things and stumbled across this thing, hopefully its not a repost!

In trying to think of good (cheap) powerplants for a 2 wheel beach cart, I'm coming up with either a go kart or tiller. the tiller seems appealing because it already has hand controls and seems lie it'd be more controllable at a walking pace. The question is, will <10 ft-lbs be enough to push a ski up a decent grade?

 

[masterblaster]

some interesting ideas here, so far nothing works better than a quad with a tiger tote tied to the back,especially if you have a good distance to cover and 4 or 5 skis to get to beach.just have to be quick about it and get the quad loaded up before popo show up. in Vb this seems to be about a hour or so

 

[Norass411]

I use a john deer with an ez-load trailer at home but those tiny wheels don't wanna run 80 for 4 hours down to the beach, haha. Made a hitch rack so I need something to get to the surf that will also be easy to throw in the back of the truck

I might need to see under the hood of this thing worse than I need oxygen, haha. So sweet! a vid of it trucking skis would also be pretty sweet.
