GEN1

Our little block rocker on wheels!

This electric DJ chariot was designed specifically for the San Diego Pride Parade. We’d been doing @rundancefree for over a year using a phone, Bluetooth speakers, and old school, single speed beach cruisers.

It was so much fun every Thursday in Leucadia that we thought our growing community would be a great edition to the largest celebration of diversity and inclusion in San Diego, the San Diego Pride Parade. We also knew we had to up our game if we wanted to bring Rundance to over 200,000 attendees.

So we spent a year in preparation. We formed a 501(c)(3) @gen1.love and crowdfunded over $5,000 from the local Leucadia community to build this thing of our dreams.

The base is a @worksmancycles1898 electric mover cargo trike rated at 600lbs. On top of that, @tristenandre at @dfp_industries custom fabricated a chariot base with removable attachments for decks and speaker arms. The chariot can convert from a two passenger seated configuration to a single DJ standing configuration in just a few minutes.

We currently have it fitted with an @alphathetausa XDJ-AZ, with @electrovoiceofficial Everse 8 tops, and an Evolve 50 sub. The whole rig is battery powered with a single @jackeryusa Explorer 1,000 solar generator. Including self-contained batteries in the tops, we can run for about 6 hours.

Playing on this while moving down a parade route is seriously the most fun and challenging experience I’ve ever had as a DJ. The leaf springs on the trike make it super bouncy in a good way. It definitely wouldn’t work for a vinyl set. 🤣 It requires some core strength and a good driver like @andreinkproductions and even then, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve accidentally hit pause on the active deck just trying to hang on. Fortunately the crowd tends to be super forgiving given the setting. (continued in comments)
