    Hi Zack,

    You definitely have skills! This would be great for going to swap meets, after pulling a bunch of car parts around on a hot summer day, I am dead. I really like the hook to attach another cart to. The only thing that would be nice is a freewheel type of system. There are times when you have little to nothing in it and really don’t need to waste battery life. Can’t wait to see what you do next.

    I built one of these at the end of 2019 for hauling stuff when we go to our son's baseball games. I used a small safe for the battery box and have let and usb voltmeter attached into it. I can throw keys, wallet and etc in it when at game or beach. Glad to see you posted the video. I couldn't find anything like this when I was looking and wasn't about to pay the price for a built one.

    Built this cart with the 1K watt motor.
    Took it for a test spin today. Cart hit 26mph with me on it.
    Probably illegal in some states.
    I love it
    I got a voltage regulator to take the cell phone charger from 48V to 12V. Picked it up on Amazon for $18. The charger linked is 24V max and if you use it on a 48V system you will fry it.
    I added a digital safe and put the ignition in the safe. I placed the safe in the rear of the cart. Fit perfectly.
    I'll post up video soon and place it in the comments.
    Thanks to OP for the build!

    It really is a GREAT video you made, and it totally inspired me to not only build one, but to understand the weaknesses and improve the design (i.e. try making a turn with yours on pavement with that solid rear axle, lol). I'm currently on Rev3 and still trying to do better. It's such a great concept and excessively useful device for me, which is why im going through great lengths to truly optimize it! Thank you again!

  • @JasonSewell
    @JasonSewell Před 4 lety +18

    Great build! I would consider using a motor with a built-in planetary gear reduction, since what I'd want is slow speed / high torque for getting over the dunes at walking pace on the way to the beach. I have a larger Gorilla Cart that we use at the beach, but getting it over the dunes fully loaded is a nightmare. Also, given the salt / sand conditions at the beach, I wonder if it makes sense to build an enclosure around the motor and drive train?

    • @JayGee6996
      @JayGee6996 Před 2 lety

      Good idea, also means it won’t need a brake as the gearbox will bring it to a stop when it’s not under power

    Have a way to disconnect drive in case of power/motor failure. Perhaps a tensioner which when removed can allow the chain to be taken off the axle.
    Like the idea.

    • @tonykomer2997
      @tonykomer2997 Před 2 lety

      You really need that anyways to adjust for chain stretch just like on a bicycle. A double turnbuckle in compression or tension would work great and then uses lots instead of holes to mount the motor. Quite easy to adapt from present config.

    @victorbenner539 Před rokem +1

    I'm curious about where you got your components from. Also I think a high/low range gearing system should be added so you have better control when climbing a somewhat difficult slope of sand and safer control in tight spaces. But great build. I've been considering motorized my beach cart. But more importantly my large smoker for going to the farmers market and bbq competitions. She weights 1200lb. I'm going to need a BIG motor for her. But rarely ever need to move more then 50'. Have a great day 🌤.

  • @markbest4230
    @markbest4230 Před 3 lety

    I have a rigid toolbox that I want to do something similar too because it gets heavy with my tools and then having to pull over terrain. I'd like to use a milwaukee 12.0 AH battery to run it and have a momentary contact switch on the handle to turn on the motor. I also thought about someway to have the motors not engage until the box is angled to pull along. What do you think?

  • @BrittanyMartin917

    Looks great, though you should put a support arm going from the axle area to the motor mounting area. If you demand enough torque from it, you'll pull the axle forward as it is.

    My setup I was thinking 2 motors, 350watt on front axle & 350watt on rear axle, hooked up to same controller & battery. What are your thoughts? I heard dual motor gives you instant torque and helps lighten wear & tear as if it were a single motor. THNX
