Moped Skating

We tried to skate in some golf course ponds last night behind my friends moped. it didnt work out though. it didnt have enough torque. has anyone tried this behind a golf cart? cuz this pond is perfect.

were u trying to get it to pull you from a dead stop, if so try just putting the board in the water and running and jumping on it, or something like that where the mopeds already moving

some golf carts work. surprisingly electric works better than gas, because most gas carts are governed to internal combustion engine hell (but that can be altered). and my go cart could do it with a couple attempts getting timing right.

no we didnt deep water start. we did what you said just put it in the water and ran 20 yds or so. it would plane out when we landed on it then it would make the moped just stop. we are going to try an electric golf cart next time! ill tell yall bout it.

ya! and in the vid they are pretty much sliding on grass the whole time. od yall think it would work on a deep pond? cuz we dont really want to go grass-skating, we would like to wakeskate!

Yeah, it was a flooded golf course, so there wasn't that much water on the surface as you can see in the vid. You don't want to be going that fast on literally an inch or two of water. That golf cart won't quite cut it for deep water because it didn't have the top end to pull in deeper water. If you're serious about riding behind a golf cart, get gas. The golf cart in the end of Sfumato was rumored to go 40 MPH and is street legal.

Oh, Big Dee..I didn't know Mopeds had wakes! Thats sick!

since me and my friends dont have a boat so we have been riding behind my friends isuzu trooper , because the whole golf cart thing doesnt work, it is awesome! we just drive along shore and tie the rope to the hitch.
