ABSTRACT:
A drive unit for a golf cart having a motor and a pinion mounted on a drive shaft extending from the motor. The motor is pivotally mounted on a leg of the cart and is adjustable to a number of positions including one where the pinion engages a wheel on the cart to drive the cart and another where the motor does not interfere with folding of the cart. A battery is suspended from the cart to power the motor, and a thumb switch is included to selectively activate the motor. Biasing structure is included to improve engagement of the pinion against the wheel when the motor is in its driving position.
