A group called Grind Hard Plumbing Co transformed a golf cart into a crazy machine by equipping it with a Yamaha YZF-R1 engine with 180 horsepower.

Initially, the project was extremely dangerous, with issues such as lack of front brakes, a broken chassis, and poor steering. They tried to improve these aspects, but the safety of this modified cart is still questionable, despite attempts to make it more stable and functional.

The team made several modifications to enhance performance, including a completely revamped suspension and chassis reinforcements, allowing the cart to tackle tough terrain. However, the vehicle resembles much more a side-by-side off-road vehicle than a simple golf cart, equipped with tires suitable for all types of terrain and a protective cage. Even with these improvements, it would never be allowed on a traditional golf course, although many would love to see that happen.

Unfortunately, the cart ended up colliding with a tree, destroying much of the work done by the team. Nonetheless, the Grind Hard Plumbing Co. group is known for not giving up easily and plans to rebuild the cart to continue their extreme adventures in the future.
