Re: molbilty scooter

Re: molbilty scooter
So you want the cart to haul the scooter. How much does the scooter weigh?

Re: molbilty scooter
No problem unless you climb steep hills or other odd things. I've pulled around a 17' boat with a 150hp outboard ok, I was careful and it was not a problem, with stock engine in a G9 and 22 tires. Its more fun to pull stuff now with a clone in it, but if you are on level ground and something not heavier than your 600lb cart it should have no problem pulling a trailer. I am sure that boat weighed much more than my cart, it was mostly level ground except the ramp into the lake.
If you mean can you put a hauler into a hitch on the back of the cart, I am not sure you could hang that much weight off the rear of the cart. It may do a wheelie, you may need to modify the cart to do it. A trailer no problem but even rear seats on carts throw off the weight distribution quite a bit and they are over the rear axle not behind it. Since the engine in a cart is in the rear, most of the weight in a cart is on the rear axle already. |

Yeah, my mom had what amounted to a hitch carrier on the back of her car that held my dad's scooter. It had a ramp on it so that she could just drive the scooter on and off the hitch carrier rather than having to lift it off. I am guessing that hitch carrier was 100 - 150 pounds. Add that to the couple of hundred for the scooter plus the leverage of having it off hang a few feet off of the back of the cart and I doubt it can be done. The issue isn't the weight on the back wheels. I think those would be ok. The issue would be lack of weight on the front wheels. Even if the front end didn't come up immediately steering would be unsafe as there wouldn't be much weight on the front wheels. |
