Electric Beach Cart in Newport Beach & Laguna Beach, CA
A folding electric beach cart for Orange County — metered lots, steep beach-access stairs, and cars with no room for a hitch carrier.
Newport Beach and Laguna Beach both charge for parking by the hour, and Laguna's coves are often reached by stairs cut into the bluffs rather than a flat walk from the lot. Neither is a place for a 150-lb cart that needs a trailer hitch and a cargo carrier. e-KRT is a dual-motor, 3-wheel battery-powered beach wagon built for soft sand, and it folds down to about 80 lbs and fits in the trunk of a sedan or SUV — practical for a coastline where every parking spot is paid for by the minute.
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 Orange County specifically
- No hitch, no carrier, no extra parking hassle. e-KRT folds to 30 × 24 × 28.5 inches and rides in a trunk. Many electric beach carts ship fully assembled and need a 2" trailer hitch plus a hitch-mounted cargo carrier — a poor match for compact coastal parking.
- Built for Southern California's fine sand. Newport and Laguna's beaches run soft and fine, exactly the terrain e-KRT's dual 350W motors and wide tires are built for.
- One trip, not three, down the stairs and back. A removable 36V 31.5Ah lithium battery (1,134Wh) powers a full beach day, so a single loaded trip covers what would otherwise take several.
- 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. Total the real cost, and e-KRT compares well even against carts that look cheaper up front:
| 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.
