1. A motorized utility cart assembly for transporting cargo without requiring effort from a user, said assembly comprising:
a cart having a bottom platform, a top platform and a plurality of legs extending between said top platform and said bottom platform;
a grip housing being attached to and extending away from said top platform, said grip housing having a slot extending through said grip housing to define a grip on said grip housing wherein said grip is configured to be gripped by a user;
a drive unit being attached to said bottom platform of said cart, said drive unit including a pair of drive wheels each being rotatably disposed on said drive unit, each of said drive wheels being urged to rotate in a first direction when said drive unit is turned on thereby facilitating said cart to travel forwardly wherein said drive unit is configured to transport cargo on said cart without requiring the user to push said cart;
a pair of rollers, each of said rollers being rotatably disposed on said bottom platform of said cart thereby facilitating each of said rollers to rotate on the support surface;
a control unit being integrated into said grip housing, said control unit being in communication with said drive unit, said control unit including a throttle being movably integrated into said grip housing, said throttle actuating said drive unit to a speed corresponding to a level of engagement of said throttle between a minimum speed and a maximum speed;
wherein said top platform has a basal wall and a perimeter wall extending upwardly from said basal wall;
wherein said bottom platform has a bottom wall and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from said bottom wall, said peripheral wall having a distal edge with respect to said bottom wall;
wherein each of said legs has a lower end and an upper end, said lower end of each of said legs being coupled to said distal edge of said peripheral wall, said upper end of each of said legs being coupled to a bottom surface of said basal wall of said top platform, each of said legs having a bend extending between said lower end and said upper end to define a first panel being perpendicularly oriented with a second panel, each of said legs being aligned with a respective one of four corners of said peripheral wall of said bottom platform having each of said first panel and said second panel extending along a respective one of four sides of said peripheral wall, said upper end of each of said legs being aligned with a respective one of four corners of said bottom wall of said top platform;
wherein said grip housing has a front wall and a back wall, said grip housing having a top wall and a bottom wall each extending between said front wall and said back wall, said top wall sloping downwardly between said front wall and said back wall, said back wall being rounded, said front wall being attached to a rear side of said perimeter wall of said top platform;
wherein said slot extends through said top wall and said bottom wall, said slot being elongated to extend across a substantial width of said grip housing, said slot being positioned closer to said back wall than said front wall, said slot having a bounding surface, said bounding surface having a rear side being spaced from and being oriented parallel with said back wall of said grip housing such that said grip is defined between said rear side of said bounding surface and said back wall;
wherein said grip housing has a battery well extending through said top wall toward said bottom wall, said battery well being positioned between said slot and said front wall, said battery well being offset from a center of said grip housing;
wherein said top wall has a recess extending toward said bottom wall, said recess surrounding said battery well; and
wherein said top wall has a plurality of fastener wells each extending downwardly toward said bottom wall, each of said fastener wells being positioned in said recess, each of said fastener wells being aligned with a respective one of four corners of said recess.
