Frequently Asked Questions

Sandhopper is the ultimate battery powered electric wagon. Simply place your hand on the control handle and depress the thumb switch while walking in front of the wagon steering and controlling its direction and speed. The exclusive Auto-Brake system stops the Sandhopper as soon as your release pressure from the throttle. Sandhopper can handle the sand with ease, providing you with 4 to 5 miles of range when fully charged all while carrying hundreds of pounds of gear.  With our standard battery gauge meter, you'll always know how much charge is left.  Our wagons operate on a 24 volt battery and use a 750 watt electric motor.  Additionally you may add a more powerful motor and controller for extra power for larger loads.

Beach lovers, surfers, stand up paddle boarders, kite boarders and kayakers to name a few. Surf Fishermen absolutely love the ability to carry all the gear they need and to still have the ability to move a few miles up or down the beach, away from the crowds. Hunters appreciate the capability and capacity of Sandhopper. Plus it leaves no exhaust scent like gas powered ATV's, it's quiet as a mouse, and with the standard turf tires, you can carry hundreds of pounds of gear or game!

Sandhopper's all aluminum construction will stand up to the harsh environment of the beach for years and years! The cart is proudly built in the USA and protected by powder coated paint. We use almost exclusively stainless steel hardware and the .080 gauge aluminum deck is meant to be durable yet flexible as you bounce along the sand with your beach bound cargo. Your kids will be raising their hands some day to say, "Pass the Sandhopper on to me!'

Sandhopper borrows technology from the Mobility Industry - makers of scooters and carts for the elderly and disabled, so you know it has to be safe! You control the speed and direction of the Sandhopper. Additional safety features include: automatic shutdown of power to the controller when the key is inadvertently left on, saving battery power but more importantly ensuring no one inadvertently can use the wagon just by walking up and touching the controls. 

We offer many sizes, however these four are the most popular for beach families! Our smallest wagon is 20" x 40" and holds 2 to 4 chairs, an umbrella, soft cooler and towels.  Or even more if you can figure out ways to get the extra gear on board! 

Our most popular Sandhopper is the 24" x 48" size that can hold 3 to 4 chairs, 1 or 2 umbrellas, a soft cooler, towels, boogie board or other beach toys. Add either the cooler tray or the side racks and you can significantly increase the capacity.   With the side racks you can carry umbrellas, bogie boards and a small surfboard - all at the same time! Use side racks to easily carry a 10' x 10' pop up tent which can weight upwards of 30 pounds. 

Our two large wagons are the most practical. You'll never run out of gear, so why not get a wagon that offers plenty of cargo space! The great thing about the 30" x 48" wagon is that it takes up the same amount of room in your garage as our 24" x 48" wagon. That's because the widest point on the wagon is located at the wheels and those are the same on each model. So, with the 30" x 48" model you'll get extra carrying capacity without taking any additional room in your garage!  With the optional Surf Rack system take as many as three surfboards or an SUP or kayak!

Our 30" x 54" isn't really all that large in terms of its footprint. Because the widest point on the wagon is at the wheels, the footprint in your garage is no wider than our smallest wagon and only 8" longer. Yet it has a much larger deck and as a result can carry gear for a big day at the beach for multiple families! 

As an East Coast distributor we offer a one year limited warranty that covers everything except abuse of the product.

This Chinese import showed up in the summer of 2022 and has only one size, which compares to our smallest wagon. It uses a chain drive system which requires maintenance based on how much you use the wagon. It uses a "cheaper alternative" (their own description of the tires that come on their wagon) but they do offer you the chance to upgrade to the industry best Wheeleez tires at a future date at your own expense and labor. It arrives requiring partial assembly and costs more than a Sandhopper.
