Sounds like a brake drum/axle spline connection that let go.
Put the cart on jackstands and see what happens.

thanks. put it on jack stands and wheels do turn. touching the brake creates the same clicking noise. now what ?

It's likely the spline that is stripped between the brake drum and the axle spline. You will need a new drum, axle or both.
If that's not it then the motor spline is broken and you will need to pull the motor for that one.

well this is embarrassing but here goes. discovered 3 of my batteries had 4 dry cells each. topped them off and charged them up and all is well now. normally i check my water about every 3 rounds but i guess i lost track. sorry to bother you, thanks for your help.

No water in the batteries......

Certainly a lot cheaper and easier than a stripped drum or motor.
It was the word "snap" in the first post that got my attention.
Good fix, glad it's working.
