Electric Beach Cart in Wilmington & Wrightsville Beach, NC
A folding, battery-powered alternative for the Cape Fear coast — own the cart instead of renting one for the week.
Wrightsville Beach draws a steady stream of weekly renters and second-home owners along a barrier island where parking is limited and the walk to open sand can run the length of a block or more. For years, the easiest option here was renting a cart for the week rather than owning one. e-KRT changes that math: it's a dual-motor, 3-wheel electric wagon that folds small enough to keep in a beach-house garage year-round, so a family that comes back every summer only has to buy the equipment once.
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 Cape Fear coast
- No hitch, no rental fleet needed. e-KRT folds to 30 × 24 × 28.5 inches and weighs about 80 lbs, so it rides in a trunk or SUV and stores in a garage between visits. Many electric carts on the market ship fully assembled and require a 2" trailer hitch plus a hitch-mounted cargo carrier.
- Built for barrier-island sand. Wrightsville's beach is wide and soft, especially away from the packed strip near the waterline — terrain e-KRT's dual 350W motors and wide tires are built to handle.
- One battery, one full beach day. A removable 36V 31.5Ah lithium battery (1,134Wh) means the walk from a rental driveway or public access point to the water is one loaded trip.
- Room for the gear a week at the beach actually needs. The cooler platform is sized for standard coolers in the 40–65-quart range, plus chairs and umbrellas on the standard mounts — we're finalizing exact dimension specs this week.
A complete package costs less than a bare cart plus extras
A bare electric cart usually means chair racks, umbrella mounts, and a cooler tray sold separately — and if the cart doesn't fold, a trailer hitch and cargo carrier on top of that just to get it to the island. Total those real costs, and owning an e-KRT compares well against renting or buying piecemeal:
| 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.
