    Electric cargo bikes fill the same niche here. Well, minus the boat part.

      Ehh. I fit myself, my wife, my kid, my dog, and a cooler and 2 surf boards on a golf cart and I can park it without needing to lock it up somewhere. A cargo bike that big easily costs 2-5x more than a golf cart. Realistically I’d actually need two cargo bikes to haul that much.

      A single golf cart can hold 2-6 people plus cargo depending on the model. They fill the car niche better than the bike niche but at a ridiculously low price point if you aren’t getting fancy.
