Since I fix medical carts at hospitals, I looked through a lot of videos and I was trying to figure out what i could do about lugging my milwaukee packout around the hospital. You've got something I can work with. I hope I don't get in trouble riding this thing around the hospital.
I live in an apartment so I have to tote my wagon a block or two to where I can work on my projects.. I'm getting older and it's already in the high 80's in Orlando (end of May) and l was looking at my older Radio Flyer before pulling this up. I like it..
Funny I did this as my final project for my engineering degree, After pulling my son around I was like well there has to be a good option. I used an electric skateboard off amazon as my donor for the controls and motor.
That would be great for pulling parts from the junk yard and putting them in the wagon. Even a car engine could fit in a heavy duty wagon and you could easily move it. Thanks! I wonder if I could take it to Walmart and ride it around the aisles and pick up my groceries.
Batteries from power tools might be a good source too. They're high output cells and you might already have them. There are resources on how to create a 3d printed receiver for them.
After the last beach trip and pulling our wagon loaded with beach stuff I’ve had it. Skinny wheels, fat wheels…..it doesn’t matter. It’s a miserable slog no matter what. I’m determined to make something work. There HAS to be a better way that doesn’t cost over $1000. All I want is a high torque, low speed motor with an option to disengage the motor to tow with a golf cart. An electric direct drive bicycle motor might work.
Because I have six slipped disc's, I cannot lift, carry or pull anything. something like this would be a real help to me for doing shopping. Have you ever thought how helpful this would be to the elderly or disabled ?
What I don’t understand is why you need to controllers and the reason I’m even watching your video is I have a tao tao electeic 36v 4x4 and i bekeihe the speed controller broke cause the motor is spinningnon its own out kf no where when jt has power I went to change it and noticed there was one bugger brushless controller and a smaller one somehow commected together to make the bike work
Genius! Just subscribed. I planned to do this but want to know if the wagon is still “freewheeling” when the motor is turned off? Meaning, will it still roll smoothly if the battery is gone?
There is, the easiest way is to go with weaker motors like 12V, also you can modify the throttle or a potentiometer to have a upper limit, so that it only gives it say 10% or whatever speed fits walking.
I appreciate the request, but I got a lot on my plate as is. You'd have to offer me a ridiculous deal to make it worth my time and I'm not gonna insult you with making an offer... You could probably just buy something at that point.
I want you to know I signed in to like this video. If you live in New Jersey and agree to make an electric Amish carriage with me, I'll even subscribe.
