Future Darwin Award Winner Will Drive This GSX-R-Powered Golf Cart



Forrest Gump famously stated, “Stupid is as stupid does.” Well, you’d have to be pretty stupid to want to get behind the wheel of this thing: A 1986 EZGO Marathon golf cart that’s had its battery pack and electric motor ripped out and replaced with the engine of a 2002 Suzuki GSX-R600.
“I’m pretty stupid and this thing scares the crap out of me,” the seller writes.
Scratch that. You’d have to be REALLY stupid to want to take this thing for a spin.

Thanks to Jalopnik, we now know about this bike-engine-powered machine that seems destined, one day, to test Darwin’s theory of natural selection. With 115 horsepower produced at 13,000 rpm, the 599 cc four-cylinder engine was dangerous enough when fitted in a motorcycle. Now pair this engine with a golf cart’s short wheelbase. Plus, for some foolish reason, this machine was lifted and wears tall 16-inch wheels and tires. Making matters worse, it appears no one ever thought to put seat belts in this death trap. The seller states that he bought the cart with the bike engine pre-installed and that he doesn’t know who did “the actual work.” He also adds that the cart gets “pretty nervous” when driven at more than 30 mph. Frankly, we get pretty nervous over the idea of 30 mph in this thing, let alone that a person bought the cart thinking it “would be fun for [his] kids.”
