Electric Beach Cart in Newport, RI
The complete electric beach wagon package for Newport's coastline — folds to fit your car, no trailer hitch required.
Newport's beaches sit along a coastline better known for its mansions and cliff walks than for easy beach parking — narrow lanes, limited lots, and a short but genuinely busy summer season. A cart that needs a trailer hitch and a cargo carrier is a poor fit for that kind of street. e-KRT is a dual-motor, 3-wheel battery-powered beach wagon built for soft sand, folding down small enough to fit in the trunk of the car you already navigate Newport's streets with.
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 Newport specifically
- No hitch required. e-KRT folds to 30 × 24 × 28.5 inches and weighs about 80 lbs — it goes in the trunk or back seat of an SUV or sedan, no separate trailer needed on Newport's narrow streets.
- Built for New England's short, busy season. A short season means more use packed into fewer weekends — e-KRT's removable lithium battery and keyed security are built for that kind of regular, heavy use.
- One trip, not three. A removable 36V 31.5Ah lithium battery (1,134Wh) powers a full beach day, so the walk from a limited 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 — chair racks, umbrella mounts, and cooler trays priced separately — and a cart that doesn't fold needs a trailer hitch and cargo carrier on top of that. Once those real costs are counted, e-KRT is the lower-cost option even where it isn't the lowest number on the shelf tag:
| 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.
