Cruzin Cooler

A motorized cooler sounds pretty cool, even cooler when you find out that you can ride it. Don’t be one of those losers who have to walk and carry their own coolers, get yourself a Cruzin Cooler!

Now you can get around with all your food and drink without having to walk, what a combo! You can get either a gas or electric model. To decide which one is for you, you just need to decide how much distance you need to cover. The gas versions have a range of 30 miles, while the electrics don’t have a range stated. There are two models of each, one goes 13 MPH, the other goes 15 MPH. The electric models only need to be recharged (max 6 hours), while the gas models take EPA approved two stroke (33 cc) or four stroke (39 cc) (mixed with oil). If you’re on the larger size, a Cruzin Cooler will hold up to 300 lbs, that’s counting the cargo.

This isn’t a gimmick, the Cruzin Cooler is a real scooter and also stores food + drink. It will hold up to 24 twelve ounce cans plus ice. That’s enough for a good day at the beach, boat, or park.

The prices are fairly reasonable. The 300 watt electric and 33cc gas are $349 and $449 respectively. The 500 watt electric and 39 cc gas are both $499.

If you’re deciding between the gas and electric, here’s what I’d suggest: get the gas if you want longer distances and don’t mind a bit of noise, get the electric if you don’t mind a short range scooter but want to be fairly quiet. Always go for the more powerful one, it’s bigger and better.

The Cruzin Cooler is available from Amazon more info at Cruzin Cooler.

[...] Thats right, I said “scooter/cooler”. Confused? Well check this bad boy out… When I first saw the scooter on coolest-gadgets.com, I really thought it was just another cheap piece of crap that some guy was trying to pass off to a couple people to make some extra cash. But, you need to check the Cruzin Cooler site if you even have the slightest interest in these, because from the looks of it they are actually practical. They have a few different configurations, still retain decent cooler space to hold 24 cans, and have a range between 15 and 30 miles, depending on your configuration. [...]

This gizmo encourages drinking and driving

Rednecks rejoice! Now you don’t have to carry that heavy beer or waste energy walking around.

Nobody wants to go very far without their beer.
The Cruzin’ Cooler combines a plastic insulating cooler with an electric motor, some batteries …

WARNING! I had one of these and the electronic speed controller failed while riding. This caused it to go very fast with no warning and throttle/brake could not stop it. It caused a crash and serious injury. At first the company rep told me they knew about this problem, but when they heard injury, they denied everything! THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS; ESPECIALLY FOR CHILDREN! USE CAUTION!

Also, when an electronic speed control fails, if you ever owned a Remote control car before, it doesn’t make it go faster, in fact it does the exact opposite, it doesn’t go you smuck. Thats why they call it the electronic speed control. WOW .. ROFL you make me laugh.

Kevin-I know you made this comment. No one but a company rep would post such a reply. Due to your past replies to other dealers, your ignorance and lack of vocabulary is easy to recognize. This was put as a warning so that hopefully no one else would be hurt. Did you think I just sat around one day and thought this problem up? Apparently you know even less about electronics than you do about customer service. I will give you a tip: It is better to be silent and thought of as a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. These things are a hazard and I will continue to warn people. Hopefully no one will be killed on one of these. Made in China says it all. Stop by some day!

This is not Kevin, this is KC.

I know alot about electronics. I do know that if an electronic control module fails, the unit does not proceed to go faster. This is true in RC cars and as well in these units. There is no power for it to go faster. The control factor is based on the electric motor itself that is regulated by the electronic control module. There is no way for it to spin in revolutions faster to make the tires rotate faster. Once the electronic module dies, thats it. Everything dies because there is no power to regulate the speed of the unit itself. Maybe I am not being to clear on this. I do not work for Cruzin Coolers. I own one though and I love it. I have had no problems with mine. All I am saying that whatever case might be for you that when usually when an electronic control module fails,there is no power to the electric motor itself and thus causing the RC car or Cooler lets say not to move whatsoever. Now being made in China, maybe the chinese did some funky things that I don’t know about. As I can say, I have no problems so far. And if you did have something funky that did happen with your unit, I hope everything is fine with you and the family. Hope this helps. I wasn’t trying to be rude to you or anything, but I have owned alot of RC equipment in the past such as RC Boats, RC Cars, RC Airplanes and they are all the same. In my opinion, it sounds like maybe your unit might of gotten wet or maybe wires crossed to burn out the ECM. I don’t know what to tell you bro. But in any event, I would send your unit back and get a replacement if I were you, especially if you are having those kinds of problems.

As I said, unless you know what you are talking about, keep your
mouth (or keyboard) shut. There is a time between initial failure and
burn out. This unit went to top speed (not faster) for approx 5
seconds prior to burning (smoking) open. This happened as I was
entering an intersection. As a disabled veteran (attempting to keep
ignorant civilians like you to be able to continue to play with your
toys), I was looking for something that did not have the look of a
regular motorized chair. I even became a dealer for these things and
I liked it, too. I ended up with 4 units that I donated WITH A
WARNING as I could no longer sell them with the knowledge of the
injury they could cause. Let’s hope you (or some child) does not
experience the same problem. The service department at Cruzin Cooler
admitted to this situation, and verified it happening in 6 other
cases. Of course, when I tried to get them to help with the cost of
the injury, they suddenly got a case of amnesia. You seem like the
kind of person who laughed when your mother told you the stove was
hot. I hope you made a similar dumb remark before you touched it.
Then again, you can not tell some people anything. They have to be
hard headed and experience the pain for themselves first hand. You
should get in contact w/ Kevin Beal @ CC. You two would make good
friends. Go back to your bong hits and RC toys (which I am sure is
the limit of your electronics based experience). This was posted as a
warning for people who might have some sense. Take it any way you
want as I will have no concern for your possible injury. I have no
more time to suffer fools.
