Lug Wagons Launches First of Its Kind E-Wagon

Powerful, versatile, and customizable!

Santa Cruz, CA — Evan Currid, serial entrepreneur, launches his third company: Lug Wagons - a first of its kind electric assist wagon.  The SC1 by Lug Wagons packs 700 watts of power into two hub motors on a patent pending t-slot deck with 110 AC power at the ready and two USB ports for charging phones or powering gear.  “It is certainly more tool than toy,” says founder Evan Currid who previously founded Tepui roof top tents acquired by the Thule Group in 2018 and more recently HitchFire the maker of hitch mounted grills and cargo solutions.

Marketed as a do anything, go anywhere workhorse that can lug up to 500 lbs over 10 miles on a single charge the SC1 is geared more towards farm, utility, and commercial uses but has plenty of appeal to those hauling around kids and beach gear.  The most unique aspect of the Lug Wagons SC1 is the t-slot deck which allows it to be configured and customized for each user’s own unique need.  “Toolboxes, side rails, trailer goose necks, coolers and really anything you can bolt down is attachable to the deck and with the type of range and power we have packed into the SC1 you really open up a broad range of use cases from contractors to facilities maintenance and even families and sporting events,” says Currid.

Lug Wagons is launching the pre-order campaign via Kickstarter in the next couple of weeks and hopes to start delivering units by early next year with a price point between $1,200 and $2,000 depending on options and accessories.  “Certainly, more expensive than your childhood wagon. But could your kids wagon take 500 lbs straight up hill with ease? Probably not.” says Currid.

Look out for this new and upcoming Santa Cruz start-up as they pioneer a new class of wagons or power wagons as it turns out.
