What Is A Billy Cart?
Whether it is a serious hobby, a good time or both Billy Carting provides a great experience for all involved. Combining automotive engineering and construction, Billy Carting has been a stable form of entertainment for a long time, and for a long time to come. But what is a Billy Cart exactly and where did they come from?
Billy Cart History
Billy Carts date back to the late 19th century and were originally made to be pulled by a ‘billy’ goat. They were typically attatched to a goat, like a sled is attatched to a husky dog. As the idea caught on the design changed and then when pedal and motor power became available motorised carts, and pedal powered buggies, took over the jobs that were once done by the Billy Cart. The Billy Cart became the domain of children who would race each other down hills for fun.
By the mid 20th century, the name billy cart had stuck in Australia even though disused fruit boxes were a popular building material for carts. In North America, the soap box derby cart got its name from the disused soap boxes that children would make the carts out of.
(FYI the term ‘go cart’ is short for goat carts which were once pulled by goats, but now refer to a motorized cart.)
