Abstract
A wedge shaped game cart with handles and a fender over a single wheel. Struts support a forward end of the fender mounted on the handles forward of an axle for the wheel. An electric motor is mounted on the fender forward of the axle and is connected by a chain drive to a driven sprocket on the wheel. An idler sprocket for the chain drive when disconnected from the drive sprocket allows the cart to be manually pushed without engaging the motor and a cable selectively attached to the driven sprocket allows the cart to be pulled when connected to the drive sprocket.
