Hey Eck , first off "Thanks" on informing me of the linear actuators . I finally finished the mods to the "BEERCART" , other than securing down the aux battery inside , installing one limit switch and paint . I can now manually control down pressure with push button control until I get the limit switch installed . Now I need a robotic arm , that will fetch me a beer from the cooler and hand it to me on the scoot ! Got an extra one laying around at work ? Now I can raise/lower the lid and lock the lid to the "BEERCART" remotely . Call me lazy , but having to lock and unlock 2 locking mechanisms located directly under the spoiler was getting difficult at times . Project cost me around $165.00 . Linear actuator is rated 200lbs. with key-fob remote control . I made the "Bell-crank" out of steel , 3/4" axle and 1 1/2"x 1/4" flat stock . Total weight less than 8 lbs. . I place a lawn mower battery inside the "BEERCART" as it's sole power source with parallel wiring from the scoots battery via a 2 prong connection plug to recharge the battery while "on the go" or with use of a battery tender in storage . The linear actuator draws less than 2 amps under load . Circuit is protected by fuse link . I will also install a pin puller to release the actuator , just in case a malfunction occurs . Here's some pic's . BEER30
