After having this cart for a while and using it as my primary transportation around the property I have no choice but recommend everyone do the same. If you have enough property that you need something to get around in this IS the way to go. First you can carry people and stuff. Second no noise, no gas and minimal maintenance when setup like mine will be. Once the cart and everything is paid for then you pretty much ride without additional expenses. Everything has stuff wear out and or brake from time to time but I'm more talking about fuel and hassle of liquid fueled engines. Plus fuel availability! I was spending about $100 a month getting around the property on an ATV and or garden tractor / lawnmower. In these two months that's over $200 since gas has gone up considerably since the last time I filled our tank. I think Trump was still in office when I last filled the tank! Had I not made the switch we would be needing to buy more fuel now or would have already had to buy more. At this rate we should be good several more months maybe even in to winter.
I've been up and down the hill 4 or 5 times today carrying things half the trips and the cart has used slightly less than 600 watt hours yet the solar panel roof has made almost 1000 watt hours. Having a roof over your head is HUGE in this heat or in inclement weather. The fold down windshield makes it even nicer. Getting in and out is easy too. You can buy them setup or mostly setup like this or save a ton of money and buy old broken down junk cheap and make it the way you want it like I am. If you are a homesteader then you are a DIYer any DIY person can do what I've done / am doing! From my research doing it yourself can save you half or more, even up towards 90% of the cost over buying one new like this.
Another big plus for this over anything else is the fact you can also plug an inverter in and run tools wherever the cart is...
I almost want to shout about this it is a HUGE game changer for us.
