I’m stuck between these three for my club car tempo. Which one of the three would you choose?

Hi friends, I agreed over the phone to purchase this cart from a fellow camper that is selling everything due to health at the campground we use. I have not seen it in person, but the guy seems authentic and said it is in excellent shape. He said a dealer near there brought hundreds of these from California and refurbs them. The same dealer has these listed for $7900. I offered him 6K and he agreed after asking 6.5k. He said he bought it a year and half ago and it's barely used due to his wife's health. Closing the deal this week.

The lead acid batteries on my cart are swelling and getting week after three solid years. Thinking of a rhino lithium swap kit. Is the swap straight forward? Any advice or info before I step off into this project?

Bought this ole girl back in 2021, finally got around to breathing some life into it. It's a 2001 EZ-GO 875G. Had a ladder rack on it and an old, beat up, Jerry rigged Briggs Vangaurd 11 horse motor that wasn't running. The body and cab were in decent shape and it rolled easy so I bought it and hauled 'er home.

Currently running a 22hp Predator with a 1 wire alternator. Motor cradle is from Vegas Carts. Alternator kit is from Performance Mad.

Found some old 14" shark tooth style rims on FBM and got some low profile tires for 'em.

Need to build a tilt bed for it so I can get at the engine compartment easily, right now I just have 2x4's temp'd in so I can throw plywood on it if I want to haul something.

Not pictured: a set of '39 Chevy horns, mounted on top of the cab.

She's a work in progress. Just a fun, doodle around town ride (small midwest town) to keep miles off of our regular vehicles.

Hi. I recently had 2014 EZGO RXV upgraded to lithium and have been trying to fix a bunch of small things since then. The existing ignition switch wasn't locking the key in place when driving, allowing the key to fall out so I bought one off amazon to swap, since it looked pretty easy to do. I forgot to put my cart in tow mode when I pulled the dash, which unplugged the state of charge meter and then swapped the ignition out. I did blow the 10 amp fuse, which I replaced. The other 3 fuses looked fine. I put the old ignition switch back in and it blares the reverse sound, however it won't move and the head lights, blinker and brakes are no longer working. Battery charges and state of charge meter work. Hopefully I didn't screw up anything too bad!! Any ideas before I call in someone who knows what they are doing? Thanks!

I just picked up this 96 carryall for 200 bucks aud. its electric and has been consistently serviced and whatnot as i work at the airport and they just wanted to get rid of it for an upgrade. for a bit of fun i wanna take it golfing. is it frowned upon?? can i do some tasteful mods to make it less frowned upon?? is there longevity in the mods i do to it so i can take it often?

Hey everyone! I found a decent deal on a running 1981 Marathon yesterday, but I’m having a hard time tracking ANYTHING down for these carts. We would like a nice neighborhood cruiser for the family, so I would like to source the following parts:

- Rear seat
- Roof
- Light kits or how you have added universal lights to this model
- Rear plastic molded pieces
- Also think I may need a fuel pump, can only find 1982+

Thanks for any help!

I bought this golf cart and the owner said that the previous owner had a compressor for the shocks. I am looking to add a compressor and a release valve so i can raise and drop it. There is also a gauge and switches on the steering wheel that dont work. Any suggestions??

Disclosure: I work with a golf cart manufacturer, and I filmed this on our production line.

A finished frame does not show what happened before paint. This line runs pickling → phosphating → e-coat → paint.

The practical difference appears after an impact. A larger section of a powder-coated finish can chip off, while this e-coat-and-paint system is designed to keep damage more localized—closer to a scuff or dent and more manageable to touch up.

For dealers and mechanics: what coating failures do you see most often—edge chipping, rust under damaged coating, or larger-area flaking?

This will be our first cart. We’re not too sure what’s a good deal and what isn’t.

Update: wasn’t a scam. Purchased for $4,200

“20” overall wheel 215 50 13 on 13x5.5 92 ds tired single leaf suspension . Does anyone have a a ds with a 20 inch wheel that is tucked?. Any 20 inch wheel tucked with a stretched tire ?

Might be a little overkill but my neighborhood does a bunch of golf cart events throughout the year. Plus I like cruising and listening to music.
