Small vehicle making a round trip? (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

golf cart

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'small vehicle' is the definition.
'golf cart' can be an answer for 'vehicle' (golf cart is a kind of vehicle). I am not sure about the 'small' bit.

'a round trip?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'round' could be 'o' (round can mean a round object) and 'o' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'making' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
