Cooler Design |

|
THE INTERIOR of the coolers is divided into two separate
sections, the motor section and the food and beverage section. The model
left shows a 33cc gas motor with external pull start. The right food
storage area holds a minimum of 24 - 12 oz cans and 8# bag of ice

THE FRONT END disassembles from the cooler by sliding pushing
in on the spring clip and pulling the fork assembly down. The steering
column also can be removed with an allen screw located in the retainer
ring shown on the left. The handle bar also slides up or down to make
driving or pulling easy with a simple cam style lock ring.
All tires are pneumatic which makes the ride much more enjoyable and
can easily drive on most any surface, although the cooler is specifically
designed for smooth level paved surfaces. The steering shaft and front
and rear wheels use ball bearings for long reliable operation. The handles,
including brake lever and throttle lever, are removed by pressing in
on the brass spring buttons, no tools required

THE
MOTOR ASSEMBLY is directly connected to the axle through a rigid
aluminum frame and features adjustable chain drive and a disk brake caliper
for the rear drive wheel. This direct connection allows for a very solid
motor to drive wheel connection
The motor is internally cooled through a fan and fin system whose hot
motor air has been specially designed for our unit to pass the muffler
and remove all motor and muffler heat from the motor mixing with the
exhaust outside of the cooler.

THE REAR WHEELS are specially designed for their narrow profile,
to fit into the cooler design, and also for their nice pneumatic ride.
The drive gear and disk brake rotor are integrated into a single unit
with an external bearing pushed into the disk rotor for a optimal drive
characteristics.
Many parts of the cooler are made from lightweight 3033 or 6061 aircraft
aluminum for high strength and light weight. Although slightly more
expensive, they add a finished look for the polished aluminum parts
to the light 38 lb. total dry weight of the new model.. It has slotted
aluminum rims and a spin adjustable gear

THE FRAME of
the cooler may fool most people by the styrofoam design, however inside
the cooler is a network of steel and aluminum. The photo shows the front
end steel frame where the front end is bolted to. The foot peg bar is
rivited to the front frame to provide an extremely solid body and reliable
operation.
Notice that the front steel goes almost to the top rail of the cooler,
allowing for a full load transfer directly to the wheels, not the body.

STABILIZERS-
The two aluminum exterior wheel supports perform a variety of functions.
They take the load of the cooler directly to the axle from the top rim
of the cooler. They also provide exterior stability to the rear wheels
besides the internal axle supports. They also provide stability from front
and rear travel from acceleration and braking. The stabilizers are made
from 6061 polished aluminum and help make the entire cooler assembly strong
enough to work under testing weights well over 300lbs |
