I think we could EASILY do this without even registering the cart. Make it 'daytime only'(ya right). I would want larger wheels to achieve higher speeds and to handle any rough terrain. I'm shopping GSFC for some used AGM batteries. I love three things about that picture.

I just posted this pic. http://www.bloodymaryland.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/lark.JPG We could use the scooter as is and build a cooler trailer to tow behind it. The trailer could even carry extra batteries for longer range, or a small generator to make it an energy inefficient hybrid. You beat me to it.

It could easily be gutted and turned into one of these with the addition of someones old cooler. All it needs is a couple of $45 batteries. If someone knows where I can find good used UPS batteries, then all the better. I dragged an old lady scooter out of the trash a few months ago.
