I Built a Fully Electric Beach Cart

[@nizzurtmontalgizzert3337]

Building in crocs, the stuff of legend.

[@twowayyo11]

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!

[@elvismekowulu4634]

Hi, have you got a video for your motrised cart?

[@jaminoes_]

(Spongebob cutout: "2 years later...") Surely this OP will dleiver his video.

[@kevinthemayor]

Thanks I just bought a groundwork cart with 16 inch tires from tractor supply to aid me in collecting driftwood but the more rocky the beach is the harder it is to steer and pull

[@ferbbb]

Haha, lot of magic going on in this video.. Well done, mate!

[@joev1779]

Great project! Any update on how it works with dry sand?

[@Christ-1]

I gotta do this. Thanks for sharing your ingenuity!

[@dloadthis1617]

Hi Zack, You know 1000% more how to customize things than most people do. You don't have to apologize to anyone for the decisions you make. You're a fine young man and will go far in life. God bless you! 👍😃👍

[@instrumentsponge]

Awesome job! I was actually trying to get ideas to build my parents and electric wagon for bringing firewood into the house from the wood shed. This would be perfect as they already have a gorilla cart like yours. Thanks for making this video!

[@CodysGarage]

How did it perform in the sand?

[@oui.monsieur]

3 yrs later not a reply to the comment or a updated video with the newer 🔋

[@battlemasterszone1750]

lol those wheels suck you need balloon wheels in soft sand

[@neomacchio4692]

Yeah definitely need beach wheels

[@toddwilliams1689]

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.

[@racrx7]

Kool! I built one years ago using an anglers Fish n mate cart and drive axle from a mobility scooter. Works great

[@Sarnt_Eskie]

Randomly popped up of my algorithmic trendies lmao.... and i loved what youve donw with the cart!!! I suggest using like a trail bike handle bars incase you tend to sit and steer.

[@Kanamit.]

Not weird at all. Very creative and practical. The applications are endless.

[@robertkelley926]

I'm in awe of this young mechanic.

[@JasonSewell]

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]

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

[@GenuineNPC]

I'm doing this myself, going for a 350 watt 36 volt gear reduction motor, should be enough to get it started on sand I'd hope

[@mr.notimportant]

How about a bridge and a motor enough like his second one

[@plumbherhub1664]

I plan on making one for foot hiking to carry all gear and water for my long hikes. I think good tires will help getting through the bush.

[@phasetek]

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!

[@mr.notimportant]

Solid would love to see your progress or what motor can I use like the second one he used

[@christopherking2999]

Great application, just what I need. Thank you.

[@kaydesign]

Had this idea to years ago. Never got to it. Super nice to watch your inspirational channel!

[@robertglavan783]

Love this idea, Do you have step by step plans?

[@Kevin-go2dw]

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]

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.

[@joyridaz]

Dude that is an amazing project!

[@bradabbate3342]

This is great! I really enjoy your videos and you giving links to the parts is very helpful and greatly appreciated! Keep doing what you do!

[@ogsharerfan3144]

Do you have a link for the 48v charger there is no more in the link he put

[@victorbenner539]

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 🌤.

[@111quazar]

Cool, love your projects..... You have a real nack for things mechanical. (and paint) I have a winter place in Haines City, I see you wore a Lk. Wales t-shirt...... We are practically neighbors.........

[@ultimaterebuilds7127]

Pretty much 😂

[@mopar_dude9227]

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.

[@agentrobtaylor]

very cool build! I noticed your shirt !! I grew up in LW and WH. We had a summer place on Lake Kissimmee and then on Lake Hatchineha. Worked at Cypress Gardens while in high school. Hopefully LW is still a cool little town...Cheers

[@chrisk6255]

can you throw a solar panel on the side or where ever for a trickle charge when out and about so you are all ways topped off? AND how far did it go befor it died Yards,feet, miles?

[@Triskitty]

All of the video editing magic you do is fantastic

[@shaunrobens5666]

That’s awesome. You should see if you could figure out a way to connect one of those potable solar panels to it to charge while you’re at he beach. Thi way you wouldn’t have to worry about the battery dying on you an you can keep the charge topped off.

[@paulpintilie3353]

This is not weird, super practical. Thanks for idea.

[@azureeykola]

Pimp my cart, baby!! This was fun! That small motor was meant to break down for you to use the other motor for mo powah baby!

[@joshblanks9479]

I like this set up. I'm thinking of building this for tools. But with this set up can you pull it without having to unhook the chain from the motor? And how many pounds will the motor move?

[@bryonrickard4617]

Can you tell me about your welding equipment? What equipment did you use?

[@bamamike1013]

Great video! This is something I need so bad. Tired of lugging these heavy carts at the beach. Thanks for the ideas.

[@younow3985]

How much if you sell it?

[@TheTomar33]

What motor did you end up using?

[@edpiard8361]

Hey.. Very clever camera tricks.. Definitely gave the video a unique watch.. Great job

[@eddieherrera9504]

Bro idk how your video popped up but I'm glad it did, I've been trying to find a way to do all of this and the exact parts to use like this but to my tool cart, a Rubbermaid Utility Cart, I had added some 8 in Pneumatic Tires and I wanna make it where I don't have to push it cuz it gets heavy but you might've saved the day so thanks, I'm gonna look into getting all the stuff you did and doing the same setup!

[@pdaguytom]

Snazzy transitions! Neat project. Great job.

[@Pablo453]

Thumbs up for the editing. Nice FX. Well aligned cuts.

[@kennethwehrs8924]

Jump cuts/transitions were really cool and unique. You get better at this with every new episode. Keep it up!

[@roberthoward9482]

I don’t know if you’ll answer this but awesome job! How much time & money did it take? I’m looking at putting a motor on my beach cart but I have balloon tires. They flow over the sand with ease!

[@drob5780]

I liked your pull-cart train. I guess that makes you an official engineer!

[@JOHN316CATMANDO]

Dang Awesome build !!! AAA +++ Where was this all the years I packed my family on and off the pier. That's it I gotta build one now.

[@Cartier_specialist]

I'm thinking you might have should've went with a belt drive because sand and chains with oil might not be a good match.

[@twowayyo11]

I actually prefer chains even in a salt water environment. Pick up a can of T9 Boesheid and treat the chain and sprockets once a month they will last indefinitely.

[@justintothetruth]

I tried that with my “covid cart”. Just wasn’t able to get to work. Went with timing chain double row of teeth.

[@mycapstone]

Great build. What are your thoughts on salt corrosion?

[@FatMatt63]

Think there's a way to use electric drill batteries like they do on power wheel conversions?

[@BrittanyMartin917]

for a cart that goes through sand i would see if you can use a ribbed belt as if someone kicks up sand on the chain itll shorten the life and could break sooner

[@DriveTravelLive]

I love your style and honest good hearted character! It is a weird project, but coming from you anything is good and interesting to watch 😊

[@mikekemp6185]

Awesome wagon. How far do you think it will go on one charge when loaded with about 60 lbs? I have a walk that I do on a mix of hard sand and soft sand that is about 1.6 miles each way. I don't want it to die on me!

[@rich.trails]

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.

[@jonasbaine3538]

Indeed. I take this video as an open source blueprint that everyone can modify as needed. Him posting this video is good enough to get started.

[@Millennial1031]

In the jetski world we use beach carts to launch them into the water at the races. If you can make a water proof design with big tires that would be amazing.

[@paulinemercer538]

Wright man I want to buy one best thing I’ve seen in age’s no kidding in fro Scotland I would buy your plan

[@princeramirez2276]

Can you build me one? I tried and tried and tried to make one like that with a gas engine and it didn’t work quite as good. I gives me joy swing that you did it!

[@dgriffin6074]

Very useful. Thank you. Please give followup as to whether brakes are really necessary, at least on the beach.

[@madinventor69]

Your a Rock Star Bro!! Great Job.. 😉👍🏼

[@raychambers3646]

We used to have milk delivered using an electric cart that the guy walked in front of,obviously rather bigger.Good idea save energy for swimming!

[@td1188g]

I'm very impressed! Great works! Could you kindly give me a list of parts you've purchased and where you've got from?

[@ismaelcoronajr]

So I'm working on one of these. But for hiking any recommendations? 5 miles. I have an old scooter my mother gave me before she passed. Kinda wanted to use that to give it a second life.

[@jeremyhanna3852]

I built something very similar but I used a 36 volt motor and cut the base off a couple of burned up m18 drills and used them to wire the motors so I could use 2 18 volt Milwaukee batteries to power it in a series

[@victorpatino690]

This was an amazing project. I dont need it to go 20mph. But I do need ot to truck through the sandy beaches. 500w 1000w 2000w.🤔

[@angeljimenez8110]

Hey man, where did you go to get your parts to make your wagon electrically motorized? 🤔 If you dont mind me asking 🙏🙏

[@ZachMontizor]

WOW what an amazing job! Great quality work too, you should sell these things! Thanks for the great video, got some ideas now.

[@walkstheman98]

I had an idea like this as a kid, its cool to see it made finally

[@realJman51]

Thinking about building one but i think I'd have to add solar panels somewhere and make it easier to drive while sitting on it

[@mpranklife4147]

bro i love your edits

[@cuescues1]

Nice work. The link for the axle shows it without a chain. Any info on that would be nice and the square tube dimensions would be awesome too. Thanks in advance.

[@CJ-gh5wq]

This is genius!! Looking for a more detailed version so I can do this.

[@ShaiShots]

So cool exactly what I was looking for thank you

[@jonnielarson]

This is awesome! Great work.

[@Shortstaq]

Very cool. Gave me a bunch of ideas.

[@tank5944]

Wish I had your talent - How much was the total cost?

[@rowbearpucklebuck2331]

Amazingly complex.

[@drakeorion94]

Nice jump cuts! 👍

[@mylesken284]

Need that on fireisland great 👍 stuff

[@edpollard989]

Another interesting and well executed project, keep the variety coming it is innovative and entertaining!! BTW..Thanks for all the links.

[@ggarcia432]

can you explain the wiring? you now have 4 batteries but the volt meter still read 24 volts???- how did you connect the wires? please advise

[@marcfeiner3383]

Great Job. I want to build one with a 1000Watt/48 Volt Brushless; do I have change the Amp on the Controller. Does it work with 32" Axle use 6" Wheeless tires on a 5/8" Axle? I would use the Gorilla Wagon 56x25x44. You did an excellent Job, something for Shark Tank

[@just_rolla5773]

What control module are you using between the throttle and motor?

[@DjSuperKKimoUgale]

Nice ...love it man !!! good deal ! wish I can make one like that ....or even something like that, that hitches on a ebike ... hauling a wagon like that .. now that would be cool .. for the kids to ride on with seats and maybe a canopy .. how about that :)

[@TSnowy23]

I'm thinking of doing this with my bicycle cargo trailer. It looked like at 1st you had dual motors, but then went single motor with your minibike kit. Is that correct? 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

[@Bicketybam68]

Cheers mate, nice editing.

[@MRLAW243]

Great video man, but, those wheels won't work in the soft sand, I'd love to see the test video here on KZbin

[@nelsonhudgins5238]

How did it perform in the sand.. How do those tires perform in sand

[@craigpetraszewsky7298]

Do you have a parts list with part numbers and the upgraded motor and charger, where to by the parts?

[@entername5706]

How many herspauwer do u think this puppy would make with a couple of turbskiis?

[@dishconnect06]

I’ve looked over all the comments and can’t seem to find a parts list you used. Any chance you could help me out. Wanting to build one for travel ball tournaments.

[@NathanFutrell]

This is very nice. What kind of welder do you use for your custom metal work and component mount points?

[@brizzell2101]

Looking to build a kind of cart for going to the junkyard I would love to have some contest maybe put a little following thing like from a drone

[@ggarcia432]

not sure you are still on this video, but im confused with the motor and batteries, you said 48 volt motor, but had 2 12v batteries, then *said 24 volt motor but 24 volt motor is not 500 watt. can you please clarify as i am trying to purchase these things to make my beach wagon...thanx from Brownsville, Texas!

[@cjp713]

What kind of charger do you use? It seems like there are a few items not listed and a few parts and steps not really show. You live in Florida, you should sell these locally! You’d make a killing! Thank you for sharing, and love the music btw lol

[@bigospig]

Awesome idea! I only see a link for the motor.

[@ultimaterebuilds7127]

Thank you! I updated the list.

[@Kliph4ShariLove]

You never did a new update on this and what I’d LOVE to see is you retrofit with some 20" Wheeleez tires. Thanks for the great build!!! Quick question. Is that a garden cart from Home Depot or Lowes? That’s what I was thinking of using.

[@timw8796]

How much weight and how fast will it go? Also can you put two motors on it.

[@noseasmamut]

Wow! Looks great, thanks for the idea.

[@MrJerobona]
