So some years ago and I mean many, many years ago old Pop decided to build a golf cart. An electric powered, nice and quiet golf cart for running around the neighborhood. What we ended up with was an electric powered wheel stander of a golf cart. By adding an extra battery and solenoid along with a two speed switch this thing was the fastest electric around and the bigger tires didn't hurt either. Much like having and electric "turbo" boost when you pulled the switch. The body was home fabricated out heavy gauge steel so it got pretty heavy and to overcome that, a little bit of ballast was added in a few critical spots and the wheelie mobile was born. We put the wheelie bars on after hitting the emergency room three Saturdays in a row and that saved a lot of lost time.
Anyway.. here are a few pics as a blast from the distant past.

We were the Saturday entertainment for the neighbor kids for a while too. They lined up for rides like it was the corner bus stop. Yes we did do some laughing!
