As a result, this can transform them into loyal customers who might otherwise have faced significant challenges while shopping.

In this comprehensive blog, we’ll take you through the ins and outs of electric shopping carts – the modern day grocery store scooters.

Whether your customers’ needs are extensive or they’re buying in bulk, this motorized cart delivers a seamless shopping experience.

The key features that underline its heavy-duty nature start with the remarkable build quality of the EZ Shopper 8000. The cart is enveloped in a high-impact-absorbing plastic molded shroud. This unique feature not only enhances the cart’s overall durability, but also aids in mitigating damage from regular use – a fundamental consideration for any retail environment.

The EZ Shopper 8000 houses an unyielding steel skeleton within, crafted from 1 ¼ inch powder-coated steel. This sturdy structure provides the cart with exceptional strength and longevity, making it a worthy investment for your retail store.

The tiller column on the cart is reinforced with an extra metal bracket to handle high-stress situations. No need to worry about wear and tear with our sturdy equipment. This augmentation significantly bolsters the cart’s robustness, making it resilient to the demands of intensive shopping sessions.

Peak Performance and Savings

The EZ Shopper 8000’s potent 0.6 hp DC motor and dual drive wheels guarantee optimum traction and power. The strategic placement of drive wheels directly beneath the rider offers unparalleled control, simplifying usage.

It also operates at a hushed level of less than 45 dB, maintaining a pleasant shopping atmosphere in your store.

The EZ Shopper 8000 Electric Shopping Cart is thoughtfully engineered to navigate various retail environments with ease. A notable feature is its ability to reverse at a speed of 1.5 mph, particularly useful in stores with narrow aisles. This ensures that, even if customers miss a turn, they can comfortably backtrack without causing any inconvenience. Despite its heavy-duty build, the cart’s superior maneuverability is achieved through its high-performance transaxle system, providing precise control even in tight corners.

The forward speed of the EZ Shopper 8000 grocery store scooter has been carefully calibrated for safety and efficiency. Operating at a top speed of 2.5 mph, the cart ensures a pace that aligns with average pedestrian traffic, reducing the potential for accidents or collisions. This carefully chosen speed enhances the shopping experience for users without disrupting the overall flow of foot traffic, striking a fine balance between safety and convenience. 

What also sets the EZ Shopper 8000 grocery store scooter apart is its focus on safety. The cart’s shorter wheelbase enhances side stability, making it less prone to tipping compared to other carts. This feature results in a safer, more comfortable ride for the user. It also includes a dynamic regenerative braking system, automatic parking brake, reverse warning tone and horn, and an emergency stop switch. The cart is also equipped with a safety seat switch that prevents operation unless the user is seated, ensuring safety at all times.

Boasting approvals and certifications like SUL, cUL, and CE for its battery charger, it assures you, as a store owner, that your investment is in a product adhering to international safety standards. This commitment to safety enhances your store’s reputation and provides peace of mind for you and your customers.

The EZ Shopper 8000 is more than just an electric shopping cart pusher; it’s a statement of brand and personal style. Available in a vibrant rainbow of standard colors including blue, red, green, gray, and black, you can choose the one that best complements your style. If you’re a business owner, you can even get your cart color-matched to your company’s branding.

Other customizable features include two basket sizes (9100 cubic inches or 6600 cubic inches), a small items tray, the choice of key or keyless power on, options for armrests, and a gauge package that includes a battery charge indicator and runtime hours display.

The EZ Shopper 8000 is a true game-changer for your business. Its extended battery package allows for a 33% longer operation time, ensuring your customers won’t have to cut their shopping trips short due to power issues. More time for your patrons to browse equates to more opportunities for purchasing, enhancing your store’s sales potential. Say goodbye to lost sales and hello to increased customer satisfaction and profitability.

Maintenance

In the hustle and bustle of the retail environment, ensuring the consistent performance and cleanliness of your shopping carts can be a distressing. With the EZ Shopper 8000 Electric Shopping Cart, we strive to simplify this process with smart design choices aimed at minimizing maintenance efforts.

Firstly, this grocery store mobility scooter features mark-free and flat-free tires, a significant advantage over conventional cart models. These unique tires are designed to provide smooth and dependable performance, eliminating the inconvenience of tire marks on your store floor and the unexpected downtime caused by flat tires. By opting for these maintenance-free tires, you’ll save time, money, and effort in upkeep, leaving you more resources to focus on providing excellent customer service.

We know that a clean store is super important to keep your customers happy and coming back for more. The EZ Shopper 8000 incorporates a washable plastic seat, in contrast to the faux leather seats often found in other mobility scooter models. Skip the faux leather and go for durable plastic seats. Unlike leather imitations, EZ Shopper 8000 seats are low-maintenance and can be easily sanitized to keep clean. No more worrying about wear and tear – these seats are built to last.  A quick wipe down is all it takes to keep the seat fresh and clean for your next customer.

These handy handicap-accessible shopping carts tend to be pretty popular. This constant usage accelerates wear and tear, making our maintenance-friendly features particularly valuable.

In addition to these key features, we recommend a routine check-up of your carts to ensure they’re in top working condition. Regular checks for any mechanical issues, and prompt resolution, can help extend the life of your cart and ensure it remains a reliable service for your customers.

The EZ Shopper 8000 proves that electric shopping carts can be powerful, efficient, and customer-centric.

Disadvantages of our powered supermarket cart

1. Intended Use

Our powered shopping carts are built with a specific purpose in mind: to make shopping within stores a smooth and effortless experience. They are not designed for outdoor use or navigating uneven terrains.

2. Operational Environment

The EZ Shopper 8000 thrives in indoor environments with flat, smooth surfaces like tiles or linoleum. It’s not well-suited for areas with bumps, thresholds, or rugged terrain. This design consideration ensures a stable, safe ride for your customers while they shop.

3. Portability and Weight

To ensure robustness and durability under heavy loads, our carts are constructed to be sturdy and resilient. This means they are not designed for disassembly, and may be challenging to lift due to their substantial weight.

4. Speed and Safety

With safety being paramount, the top speed of the EZ Shopper 8000 has been intentionally kept low. This measure helps prevent accidents and ensures a safe shopping environment for all customers.

5. Seating Options

To minimize wear and tear, and for hygiene considerations, plush seats are not offered on these carts. The seating is designed to be durable and easy to clean, ensuring they remain in good condition even with continuous use.

6. Specialized Usage

The EZ Shopper 8000 is a specialized tool meant for indoor shopping environments. If you’re seeking a mobility scooter for outdoor use or other activities, it may not be the ideal choice. We encourage you to explore our diverse range of mobility scooters designed for different applications.

EZ Shopper 8000 Testimonies

Real-world Professional Assessment

We first tried the EZ Shopper 8000 in a busy grocery store. Right away, its strong motor and smart wheel placement got our attention. We filled the cart with everything from heavy rice bags to light chip packs, and it moved easily through the aisles.

Even when it was on, the cart was really quiet. It didn’t disturb shoppers at all, and just blended into the normal store sounds.

The EZ Shopper 8000 claims to be energy-efficient, so we put it to the test. Using an electricity meter, we measured how much power it used during a week at a local store. The reading was impressively low, averaging out to around 1.92 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per day. With the average cost of electricity in the US at about 13 cents per kWh, that means it would cost around 25 cents to fully charge the cart for a full day of operation. This efficiency is not just great for the store’s electricity bill, but also for the environment.

After a week of heavy use, we decided to see how the cart was holding up. We took it apart for a quick check. The parts showed little wear and tear, and it was easy to put back together, suggesting it’s reliable and won’t need lots of repairs.

But the EZ Shopper 8000 isn’t ideal for all situations. It’s quite heavy and seems to work best on flat, indoor surfaces, so it might struggle on rough outdoor terrain. Also, the seats are basic – they’re not super comfy, but they’re sturdy and simple to clean.

The EZ Shopper 8000 might not suit every need, but it does a great job for in-store shopping. After our week-long test, we can confidently say it’s a solid choice for making shopping more efficient and a bit easier.

Impressively durable, with an enduring battery. Its quiet, smooth ride and excellent maneuverability win customers over. However, moving it around without power requires a good bit of muscle, and the shipping cost reflects this weight. But overall, still a worthwhile investment for any retailer.

Who manufactures electric shopping carts?

The EZ-Shopper 8000 electric shopping carts are expertly manufactured in the United States by Electro Kinetic Technologies. With over 25 years of experience in creating ergonomic solutions, EK-Tech is a respected industry leader.

Housed within their 85,000 square foot facility in Germantown, Wisconsin, EK-Tech consistently produces robust, industrial-grade products. The company’s Retail Group specializes in the production of the EZ-Shopper cart scooter, showcasing their dedication to delivering high-quality, practical solutions to the retail sector. Their commitment to innovation and quality is truly embodied in the design and performance of the EZ-Shopper 8000.

How do you use an electric shopping cart?

To use an electric shopping cart, you simply manipulate the front-positioned steering column and use the ‘wig-wag’ lever system to control forward and reverse movements, similar to operating a standard mobility scooter.

Operating a motorized shopping cart is a straightforward process, designed with user-friendliness and simplicity in mind, similar to handling a regular mobility scooter.

Turning and maneuvering through aisles and tight corners is made easy. Much like steering a bicycle, one simply needs to rotate the control area towards the desired direction. This intuitive design ensures that customers can operate these carts with minimal instruction, contributing to an accessible, convenient, and satisfying shopping experience.

Can anyone use a motorized shopping cart?

Can anyone use the electric carts at stores?

Yes, anyone can use the motorized shopping carts or electric carts at stores. They are designed to accommodate a broad range of customers, especially those with mobility issues or those who find traditional shopping physically strenuous. These carts are primarily intended to assist those facing physical challenges or limitations, making shopping less difficult or tiring.

electric shopping carts in supermarket

Mobility solutions such as scooters are integral to fostering a more inclusive and accessible retail environment, catering not only to individuals with physical disabilities but also customers such as the elderly, those with health conditions, or those with non-apparent or temporary disabilities who find traversing large retail spaces or carrying heavy shopping items burdensome. In their effort to enhance the shopping experience, stores often invest in a fleet of these electric shopping cart pushers, thereby expanding their utility to a diverse user base.

However, respect, consideration, and responsibility are pivotal to their usage. Retailers generally adopt a trust-based approach, allowing customers to use these mobility aids as needed without explicit questioning. This trust, though, can be challenged by misuse or oversight. As such, many stores establish clear guidelines for scooter usage to ensure fair access, prevent them from being used frivolously or obstructively, and maintain a respectful shopping environment for all. Customers are therefore encouraged to exercise responsibility in their use, ensuring these resources remain readily available for those who genuinely need them.

Why buy an electric shopping cart?

Buying an electric shopping cart for sale enhances customer experience, accessibility, and potentially increases store revenue by facilitating an easier shopping process for those with mobility challenges. With very minimal running costs, many store owners report increases in bottom line performance, fueled by customers who either would not be able to shop with them at all or are now spending longer in-store and picking more items off the shelves with the knowledge that all is being taken care of by their mobility cart.

Additionally, motorized carts such as those similar to Walmart electric shopping cart or Costco electric shopping carts have certain advantages over standard mobility scooters. The shopping basket on a cart is larger, and the turning radius is designed for store aisles. In contrast, personal mobility scooters may be too fast for store environments and may have a weight capacity insufficient for both the rider and the shopping.

Are stores required to provide electric carts?

No, stores are not legally required to provide electric carts, but they must accommodate customers who use personal mobility devices.

It’s required by the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) for stores to help customers with mobility devices, but offering electric carts is optional. However, implementing this service can significantly improve customer experience, particularly for those with mobility issues. The presence of electric carts not only enhances accessibility but can also encourage longer shopping sessions and larger purchases, making it a beneficial investment for the retailer. In essence, even if it’s not a legal requirement, the provision of electric carts serves both customer satisfaction and business growth.

Accessible Shopping Made Possible with Electric Shopping Carts

standard mobility scooter in supermarket

Why should retail outlets invest in motorized shopping carts when customers with disabilities already own personal mobility scooters?

To start with, many individuals may not necessarily require a mobility scooter for daily mobility, but would greatly benefit from one during shopping trips. The physical demands of shopping such as extended standing, heavy cart maneuvering, and traversing large store spaces can be quite taxing.

It is also important to recognize that utilizing traditional mobility scooters within store premises poses several challenges both to the customers and the store, such as:

    • Limited basket size resulting in restricted purchases.
    • Unsuited turning radius for narrow in-store aisles.
    • Personal scooters not specifically designed for stores may be excessively powerful, potentially causing in-store accidents.
    • Weight capacity on traditional mobility scooters doesn’t account for the additional weight of shopping items, which can often exceed the weight of the user themselves!
    • The image below showcases the lack of adequate shopping storage on traditional disability scooters.

Below is comparison table illustrating the difference between motorized shopping carts and the  kind of personal mobility scooter that is often is and marketed to be used in supermarkets – the EV Rider Transport AF+ Auto Folding Mobility Scooter.

The Wide Adoption of Electric Shopping Carts

Which stores have motorized shopping carts?

Motorized shopping carts, often a necessity for individuals with mobility limitations, have become increasingly common in many major retail outlets across the country. Here, we highlight some of the popular retail chains that offer motorized shopping carts for customer convenience.

Grocery Stores:

    • ALDI
    • Giant Food
    • H-E-B
    • Kroger
    • Safeway
    • ShopRite
    • Trader Joe’s
    • WinCo Foods
    • Winn-Dixie
    • Whole Foods Market

Superstores:

    • Walmart
    • Costco
    • Target

Home Improvement Stores:

  • The Home Depot
  • Lowe’s
  • Menards

Department Stores:

  • JCPenney
  • Sears

The inclusion of motorized carts in these stores signifies a positive shift towards more inclusive and accessible shopping environments. If your favorite store isn’t on this list, anticipate that this will become available as we move forward.

Addressing Concerns: Theft and Injuries

Motorized carts in stores offer great benefits, but there are also potential obstacles to consider. Theft is one issue that retailers need to be mindful of, given the relatively high cost of these carts. There have been reported instances of cart theft, leading to substantial losses for stores.

Electric Shopping Cart Accident

There is also the concern of injuries associated with the use of these carts, especially when used by inexperienced individuals. To mitigate these risks, most carts come equipped with a back-up warning system and are programmed to move at a low speed.

Legal Considerations and Store Policies

Introducing powered shopping carts in your store comes with the need for rules to stop misuse. You’ll have to deal with customers using the carts for pranks, using them outside the store or those without disabilities using them just for convenience.

What about children, especially those with disabilities, using the electric shopping carts? Kids may not control the cart as well as adults, and these carts are designed for bigger users. You’ll need to think this through and decide what’s best for your store and your customers.

In order to understand how large retailers handle the usage of electric shopping carts, you might want to review Walmart’s shopping cart policies and Costco’s electric shopping cart rules. These companies have established guidelines that not only prevent misuse but also ensure that all customers, including those with disabilities and children, can shop safely and conveniently. Their policies can provide useful insights as you develop rules for your own store.

Remember, the goal here is not just to stop misuse, but to make shopping easier and safer for all customers. Your store rules should support this goal and make everyone feel welcome.
