Not preaching, and you're likely aware but be careful letting the grandkids ride that cart on the streets. They don't realize how easy it is for a driver to overlook them in a car or truck, and kids aren't always overly observant, either. Around here the city police get pretty harsh with the kids, and for repeat offenders they come after the parent/grandparent for endangering a child - nasty stuff for just having some fun.

Yes, thanks for looking out. They will not be riding on any streets or asphalt. These things are fun but very dangerous and have to be supervised. I have heard to many stories of kids and grown ups getting hurt missing fingers,etc. I will do my best to make sure they are safe(safety first), helmet , safety glasses, and supervision . Only open fields and dirt. Plus my kids are small so I will put a limiter on the throttle and they will be happy with just moving around at 5 miles a hour. Both will have one of those tall ugly flags.

You've got it covered, and I know why they love to come visit!! They'll have a ball!

Nice cart too. We used to ride one of the Honda Odessy's around the ranch in Wyoming. They even used it to heard the horses. It would fly! Much fun was had in that thing!
Check Harbor Freight this weekend for their Memorial Day sale. Might find some better deals on motors, during the sale.

Harbor Freight is always running some sale. If you don't see it today, check back in a week or two and they will have the item you want on sale. Also check their website and if it is there print out the ad and take it to the store, they will honor it.

The one I got for $ 99 is really a nice engine, but the day I bought it they brought out my motor and put it in my trunk. When I got to the shop I took it out and found they had mistakenly given me a 13 hp electric start one for $ 99. !!! For just a second that devil on my left shoulder was saying "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!" But the angel on my right shoulder won out and I took it back and told them they made a mistake. The $ 13 hp was something like $ 350, I think. Bet that would have moved my minibike !

Just got the Harbor Freight flyer in the mail today. They are advertizing Predator engines, including a 3.5 hp horizontal shaft motor for 109.99, if you get one of their 20% coupons on the internet this will be less than 100 bucks(87.99) for a new engine. they also have 11 and 13hp engines, but I think that would be a little scary!
