Tire carts? Where to get 'em?

    I had some time this weekend so I made a hitch to pull the cart behind the Zuma. I had all the steel and a little welder, so I took some measurements and put something together. I plan to put a single bolt through the luggage rack on the back of the Zuma to attach the upper mount. I may even have a spare Heim joint that I could put on there to allow the scooter to lean without binding the hitch.

    For anyone planning to drill through the center area of the cart handle, there is some plastic mechanism inside that box. I drilled through the lower part of the middle and it is still there and appears functional still. If I had to do it again, I would probably go 1/2 inch up from the bottom to avoid some of the plastic.

    I’ll be in for a group buy as long as it is quality

    I posted about this either in this thread or the WTB section.

    I put a Tipke Fold-It cart in my 'cart' about a week ago. It came out to $225 shipped or thereabouts.

    Just got an email giving me a 30% discount for everything in my cart with $2.99 shipping for orders over $89.

    I'm about to do this. I don't need 2 carts but hell, i can't pass up a good deal on anything.

    That place is just up the road from me. I went there thinking I could buy one and avoid the steep shipping. Turns out it's just an office. No store, no desk, no deal. Just a drop shipper.

    If you have the means, I’ve got 2 hours and $50 in this. A yard utility cart for lawn tractor or 4 wheeler. wood is cedar. Scrap aluminum.
    wheels from tractor supply.

    I just used the bicycle attachment from the tipke cart and made a 'hitch bolt' so to speak on the fender of my chinese grom. Plenty of turning radius like a 5th wheeler. :)
