I just came across this. To me, this seems interesting in one way (quiet, maneuverable, small), but poorly executed (limited carrying capacity). However, I just can't get past the idea that this is a MartCart for off road!

Thoughts?

I saw the price tag and immediately rebooted my computer. I figured it had to be a video driver glitch.

Seriously though, the idea is a good one, though it would still be illegal in wilderness areas out West. I also agree that the lack of defined cargo space is a bummer.

Saw a similar one at Cabelas. About the same price.
My thought? I can buy a BRAND NEW Honda 250 4 wheeler for 3 grand.

Disappointed, I was expecting you to say" Ah hell", I can build that for 50 bucks:jester:

Hope it's more stable than the old Honda ATC's were.

Can get a pretty darn serious quad for that kind of money.

The basic Bad Boy electric buggies start at a little less than that and there's a lot more to them.

Farm Boy Deuce

What has been said already plus ground clearance is going to be a big issue. Especially after the front tire is sunk in soft ground.

I think the thing going for this would be quiet. But you can get a nice used electric Golf Cart for about $2000-$2500 if you go to a country club or municipal course when they are changing out their carts. I got one for $1200 a couple years back and it had just had new batteries installed about 6 months before. But batteries are expensive. Last time we re-batteried our golf cart it set us back about $700.
