I'm not sure how heavy the photobooth box added to my cushman is (photoboof.org), but I'm guessing it's at least 700 pounds, especially with the 4 Trojan 6 volt batteries. And add 4 or so drunk hippies in the back and it's probably pushing 1500+ pounds if not significantly more, and it drives just fine. Those hippies might have to get out and push when we encounter steep hills tho... 

It's a water cooled 1989 if that helps. It started out as an air cooled 1987, but that one caught on fire on the way back from burning man one year...
