We have done the same when we wanted a transmission to shift into neutral. We tried it in 2010, but found we didn't like the drag on the kicker (the kicker had to spin the shaft to unroll our winch line).

Seconding the spring returns. I think you may be annoyed if you take the cart off the trailer and have to find a battery, boot the cart, and let it pressurize just to disengage the wheels (or you could disengage all 4 by hand, which probably involves sending someone under the cart) so you can get out of the 30 degree Michigan winter.
