Electric Beach Cart in Southampton & East Hampton, NY
The complete electric beach wagon package built for soft sand and long private-beach walks — folds to fit in the car you already drive, no trailer hitch required
The best electric beach cart for soft sand — built for the East End
Southampton and East Hampton have some of the highest coastal property values in the country, and some of the longest walks from parking to the water — Coopers Beach, Main Beach, and the private-access lanes off Meadow Lane and Further Lane all mean carrying chairs, coolers, umbrellas, and a small crowd's worth of gear well past where a car can go. e-KRT is a dual-motor, 3-wheel battery-powered beach wagon built specifically for soft sand, and it folds down to fit in the trunk of the car you already drive out here — no trailer hitch, no roof rack, no separate storage shed for the off-season.
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 Hamptons 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. Many electric beach carts on the market ship fully assembled and need a 2" trailer hitch plus a hitch-mounted cargo carrier just to get to the beach — a separate purchase most buyers don't find out about until after they've bought the cart.
- Soft-sand capable. Long Island's south shore beaches are fine, soft sand that bogs down standard wheeled wagons fast. e-KRT's dual 350W motors and wide tires are built for exactly this terrain.
- One trip, not three. A removable 36V 31.5Ah lithium battery (1,134Wh) powers the cart for a full beach day, so the walk from a Meadow Lane driveway to the water is one loaded trip instead of three unloaded ones.
- 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 are 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 though it isn't always 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.
