Electric Beach Cart in Imperial Beach, CA

The complete electric beach wagon package for Imperial Beach — folds to fit your car, no trailer hitch required.


Imperial Beach is known for the southernmost beach town in California. Less talked about: a wide, flat beach known for its annual sandcastle competition for anyone actually carrying gear. e-KRT is a dual-motor, 3-wheel battery-powered beach wagon built for soft sand, and it folds down to fit in the trunk of the car you already drive — no trailer hitch, no roof rack, nothing extra to store between trips.

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

Built around how Imperial Beach actually works

  • Nothing extra to tow. e-KRT folds down small enough for a normal trunk — about 30 × 24 × 28.5 inches, 80 lbs. Competing carts that ship fully assembled typically need a 2" trailer hitch and a separate cargo carrier, adding real cost before you've even reached the sand.
  • One battery, one full day. A removable 36V 31.5Ah lithium battery (1,134Wh) means the trip from the car to a spot on the sand happens once, loaded, instead of several times empty-handed.
  • Everything included, nothing extra. Chair mounts, cooler platform, umbrella holders, and side hang-points come standard — no separate accessories to track down before the first trip.
  • Room for your gear. 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 named-model 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 — 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 lowest 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.
