Cricket golf carts

I saw a video that shows a Cricket golf cart being loaded in the back of a Honda CRV. That looks pretty cool, and I'm wondering if it is worth hauling one around. Do any full timers use a Cricket, and haul it in your toad? Do they hold up well, and get you around without bogging down?

  • My Brother is a full timer that also works for a church group doing metal work such as handicap rails, etc.

    He has used a Cricket for 3 or 4 years now to haul tools etc. to the work site. No issues and his is equipt to haul 4 people.

    He bought it for the power and so he can load it through the side door of his enclosed work trailer.
  • Anyone remember the three wheel carts that used to be sold. You could pull a few pins and fold or disassemble the thing. What was/is it called?

    Edit;
    I figured it out, they were rvrover.net and apparently closed in early 2015.

    They are made in China and shipped to Georgia and assembled.
  • Crickets are great! I have owned two over the last several years. They are reasonably priced, hold up well and very useful. I do not use RVing. I live on a lake. I have a dock over 200 feet long. I use mine to haul stuff out to boat or just running around the area. They are made by a company in Augusta, Georgia, the gold cart manufacturing capital of the world.

  • very cool-- it becomes such an easy to haul cart. weight is like 300 so it is light to boot :) I like it. I have no experience with one but speed is like 8-10 and I would think it wouldn't be 'too quick' and like MrWizard said it 'seems' more like a mobility cart to me but can be used by everyone for whatever. Sure could be useful to many!
  • i wouldn't call the cricket a golf car
    they don't
    it is more of a Mobility device
    will carry (2) people i think
    OR
    1 person and Groceries

    i think they are neat idea
  • No full-timers in our 'circle' used a golf cart. We didn't stay in those kinds of parks.
  • I heard there is something about one model can be classified as a handicap cart, the other model can't. If this is an issue, might want to check that out.

    My neighbor has one, and it loaded just fine into their vehicle. Another here in the park has lasted a long time.
  • We seen one of these at Windcreek SP in Alabama last week, didn't know what it was at the time. Walk by the couple's coach and couldn't figure out how they were hauling it, their toad was a CRV. After watching the video it now makes sense.

    I'll have to go check one out. Would fit nicely in our Odyssey.
