Electric Beach Cart in Nantucket & Martha's Vineyard, MA
A folding electric beach cart built for island life — no hitch to fit on the ferry, no assembly, nothing extra to buy.
Getting a vehicle onto Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard means a ferry reservation, and every extra foot of length or a trailer hitch adds real cost and hassle to that trip. e-KRT is a dual-motor, 3-wheel battery-powered beach wagon that folds down to about 80 lbs and 30 × 24 × 28.5 inches — small enough to bring over in the trunk of a car that's already making the crossing, rather than towing a separate cart behind it.
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 the islands specifically
- No hitch to bring on the ferry. e-KRT folds small enough to ride in a trunk. Many electric beach carts ship fully assembled and need a 2" trailer hitch plus a hitch-mounted cargo carrier — extra vehicle length that costs more at the ferry gate too.
- Built for soft island sand. Nantucket and the Vineyard's beaches run soft, especially away from the tideline — terrain e-KRT's dual 350W motors and wide tires are built for.
- One trip, not three. A removable 36V 31.5Ah lithium battery (1,134Wh) covers a full beach day, so a walk from a rental or a private lane to the water is one loaded trip.
- 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 one that doesn't fold needs a trailer hitch and a cargo carrier just to make the ferry crossing worthwhile. Add those real costs in, and e-KRT is the lower-cost option even where the sticker price alone looks cheaper:
| 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.
