That is interesting but I'm not sure I would add it to my cart. What I really liked was his website VillagerHomePage.com. I looked at it and am definitely going to save it for ideas when we have visitors.

Pretty "cool" and very inventive. Must be quite noisy (and inefficient) and not sure how safe I'd feel driving with a 400AH lithium battery exposed in the back especially on very hot days . That's a pretty big battery.

Why not just buy an Atomic cart if you wanted AC ?

Unless you are a resident of the munchkin land, and need a ride down the yellow brick road, those things would feel totally claustrophobic!

A little overkill but pretty cool.

. Ever tried one? I'm not small by any means (5'11" 200+) and never have felt claustrophobic in ours but have felt quite comfortable especially when it is 95 out and also love watching the "rain scramble" on other carts when it suddenly starts pouring!

I saw this modification in New Port Richey a year or so ago.

Atomic carts look like they have more interior space than those old time carts.

They are, but you can't "air-cool your privates" or drag your feet on the ground when driving one unless you hang your legs out the power windows.

I have played golf with this man and his wife. It is quite an interesting invention. Also quite expensive. I have a friend who has an a/c unit in her golf cart. I googled and found it on Amazon for $250.
