Electric Beach Cart in Galveston, TX
Built for a Gulf Coast beach day — miles of sand, warm water most of the year, and a cart that fits in the truck you already drive.
Galveston Island runs over 30 miles of Gulf-facing beach, with public access points spread out enough that a short walk with a cooler and chairs can turn into a real haul, especially on a warm Texas afternoon. e-KRT is a dual-motor, 3-wheel battery-powered beach cart built specifically for soft coastal sand, and it folds down small enough to ride in the bed of a truck or the back of an SUV — no separate trailer, no roof rack, nothing extra to store between trips to the seawall.
e-KRT ships as one complete, ready-to-use package
Every cart includes the following as standard — nothing extra to buy before your first trip to the beach:
- Chair mounts (front + rear)
- Cooler platform
- Umbrella holders
- Side hang-points for bags/gear
- Dual 350W motors
- Removable 36V 31.5Ah lithium battery
- Keyed throttle/battery security
- 12-month warranty
Why it fits Galveston specifically
- No hitch required. e-KRT folds to 30 × 24 × 28.5 inches and weighs about 80 lbs — it fits in a truck bed or SUV trunk. Many electric carts ship fully assembled and need a 2" trailer hitch plus a hitch-mounted cargo carrier just to reach the beach.
- Built for Gulf sand and Texas heat. Galveston's beaches run soft and warm most of the year. e-KRT's dual 350W motors and wide tires are built for exactly that terrain, not packed northern sand.
- One trip, not three. A removable 36V 31.5Ah lithium battery (1,134Wh) powers a full beach day, so the walk from a seawall parking spot to the water is one loaded trip instead of three.
- Room for your cooler. The cooler platform is sized for standard coolers in the 40–65-quart range on the standard mounts — we're finalizing exact dimension specs this week and will confirm which named models fit once that's verified.
A complete package costs less than a bare cart plus extras
Most electric beach wagons are sold as a bare cart, with chair racks, umbrella mounts, and cooler trays priced separately — and a cart heavy enough to need a trailer hitch adds a hitch and cargo carrier on top of that. Once those real costs are added in, e-KRT is the lower-cost option even where it isn't the cheapest sticker price:
| Accessories needed to match e-KRT |
Transport needed (hitch + carrier) |
True cost to own | |
|---|---|---|---|
| e-KRT — complete package | $0 — already included | $0 — folds to fit your car | $3,499 |
| Typical electric beach wagon | $380 – $1,265 | ≈ $504 | $3,875 – $5,483 |
Based on published pricing from leading electric beach cart brands as of August 2026 — accessories priced to match e-KRT's standard equipment, plus a trailer hitch and hitch-mounted cargo carrier where the cart doesn't fold and ships fully assembled. If a tow hitch is already fitted to your vehicle, that line item drops out for those brands too — e-KRT still needs neither.
