Icon is among the new options in the golf cart industry, but many reviews from owners have associated them with durability. There are reservations about the cart’s long-term value; still, it is packed with amazing features for an improved driving experience around the golf course.

It has a wide range of trims to select from, and all are offered at reasonable prices that give other top brands a run for their money.

Maybe you’re looking to buy an electric golf cart and have gone to a dealer for options. It is easy to find models from Yamaha, Club Car, and even EZGO because these brands are at the top. Icon of is a manufacturer of EV golf carts and has only been since 2017, but their models are fast becoming one of the more popular cart brands on the market due to the quality and looks of the product.

ICON produces a long line of golf carts. In this article, I will walk you through all the options, how they perform, the pros and cons to expect, and other relevant information about the Icon Golf carts to help you decide e whether this brand is worth your consideration. 

Comparing Icon Golf Cart Models

One particular thing I love about the Icon company is that they have produced a series of golf carts that will suit every need in the market. Because of the different needs of each customer, Icon has created four different model-series golf carts with varying availability of trim options.

These include the

Icon Golf Carts Design and Appearance

We can review the appearance of Icon carts from different angles, depending on the model. There’s much detail to discuss, from the base trim carrying two passengers to the long stretches accommodating eight passengers. 

But a factor that runs through all models is the sturdy and compact design. Icon purposefully put a stylish touch to the appearance of their cart that makes it look premium, which is even true with the i20. 

The typical Icon golf cart from the front view has a foldable acrylic (or optional DOT acrylic) windshield and an extensive air-deflecting roof design with a full, high-strength aluminium frame. 

The floor of the Icon golf cart is made of high-density polyethene molded for extra strength and toughness with a rubber floor mat.

There are turn signals and mirrors, a reversing camera, a horn, 3-point seat belts for all seats, and hydraulic 4-wheel disc brakes for safety. Depending on the model and trim, you have 10-inch aluminum wheels with a superior traction system for excellent performance under various operating conditions.

I also like the color variant availability of Icon golf carts. They offer all their models in White, Black, Sangria, Orange, Purple, Torch Red, and Champagne. 

You can also find Icon carts in Yellow, Lime Green, Forest Green, Caribbean Blue, Silver, and Indigo Blue. 

Performance of the Icon Golf Carts

Icon Electric Carts run with a 48V Toyota AC motor and advanced battery technology. Many users often report smooth and efficient rides on forums. According to the manufacturer, their models can last up to 50 miles on a single charge. 

I particularly like the i60 model’s transaxle and aluminum wheels that offer superior traction and handling under various driving conditions.

With a braking distance of only 7 feet, the cart design helps with its performance for optimal driving experience. 

However, many issues reported about Icon carts have to do with defective battery and brake performance. But there’s a silver lining since their carts are sealed under a 2-year warranty. 

The bottom line is that Icon carts have decent performance, but we can’t compare them with the top brands leading the cart industry since they are relatively new. 

Icon Golf Cart Speed

The speed of the average golf cart is a maximum of 19 MPH. So, this gives you a ballpark on determining how fast a particular brand is. Regardless of the model, you can expect any o.f When tested for this Icon golf cart review, these Icon golf carts went up to a top speed of 27 MPH.

However, the i80 model can go as high as 32 miles per hour due to 8-passenger capacity and higher max forward speed. 

Charging And Battery

Icon golf carts use US Lead Acid with NexGen Advanced Lithium (NexGen AGM) battery with the lowest internal resistance, providing 25-50 miles of driving before needing a charge. Their models come with an Onboard charger for convenient and easy charging.

Icon Golf Carts Pros and Cons

If you’re considering a golf cart by the Icon brand, keep the following pros and cons in mind:

What I Like about these carts 

• They all have a premium appearance. The outward design is appealing 
• They are street-legal
• A budget-friendly option compared to the popular names
• It has impressive speed than the average golf cart in the market 
• Smooth suspension
• Two-year warranty
• Provides high passenger capacity with its models
• You can choose forward-facing rear seats

What I don’t like about these carts

• The report from owners about battery troubleshooting help raises concern 
• Brake issues are common 
• The bigger size of models like the i80 poses a parking challenge
• No gas option

Are Icon Golf Carts Made In China?

Icon Golf Carts aren’t primarily made in China, although they used to be. Currently, Icon makes its carts in Tampa, Florida. Still, many of the components originate in China and other Asian countries due to the affordability of obtaining these components. 

Should I Buy New or Secondhand Icon Golf Carts?

Secondhand icon golf carts are a little cheaper than new ones. But expect to take care of some wear and tear and be ready for issues that must have accumulated over extensive usage. 

I recommend you buy a new icon golf cart. If you have decided to buy a used cart, sticking with popular brands like Club Car and Yamaha would be ideal because it’s easier to find their parts and aftermarket support. 

You can buy used ICON carts on websites like eBay, ATV Trader, and Golf Cart Resource,e where different ICON carts are for sale. But you can find a dealer on the Icon website to purchase a new golf cart from the brand. 

Concluding Thoughts

I have owned an i20 for almost years with no issues. But when I read reviews from my fellow golf buddies about this brand, it’s always about the location of manufacture and how it influences the carts’ quality. 

ICONss is manufactured in Tampa, Florida. They use a combination of American and Asian parts, just like most products sold in the United States. 

I have realized that different people look out for other things when buying carts. In my case, I am easily satisfied with a cart that does 29 mph and rides great on the street, not only on the golf course. With some models like the i60 L, the ride tends to be rougher,h while the tires make a reasonably loud noise. However, the ride is smooth and quiet with models such as the ICON i40 L.

I have over 4,000 miles on the odometer of my i20, and 90 percent of the miles are on the golf course. I will admit it’s a little stiff on our very rough cart paths at my practice. But it’s a decent performance so far. 

So, I can encourage you to pull the trigger on an Icon golf cart. But if you plan to purchase a used product, you’d be better off with a popular model, or the BIG3, as we call it. This is because getting support for parts or replacement parts on Icon carts when the warranty period is over may be a problem. 

Ruff And Tuff golf carts are old models. Since the manufacturer left the business in 2018, people can only purchase these carts via auction or resale. Ruff N’ Tuff electric carts are sturdy and have durable batteries that may eventually need replacement. But before buying this old cart, be ready to struggle for replacement parts or spend a lot on repairs.

Not too many people know about Ruff N’ Tuff EVs. About 15 years ago, when asked to recommend a durable and reliable golf cart, the brand was the name on many dealers’ lips.

I recently found what I believed to be a pretty good deal on a used Ruff N’ Tuff 2007 Limo Model. I primarily bought it for the wife and kids to run around the neighborhood and take to the summer campground at the beach. Eventually, I realized it could be a backup for my Axis ACE NV golf cart, and it wouldn’t hurt to have six golf buddies riding on the same golf cart. 

The reviews about ruff n’ tuff have been mixed, so I tested the cart with a biased mind. However, I decided to write this review to benefit those considering buying any Ruff N’ Tuff model to inform you about the product and what you can expect of its performance. 

The first important thing to note is that Ruff N’ Tuff is out of business, which explains why more and more people are having trouble sourcing spare parts for their Ruff & Tuff EVs today. According to the grapevine, the manufacturer mishandled purchases, and the company nosedived.

Who Makes Ruff And Tuff Golf Carts?

According to Bloomberg, Ruff & Tuff Golf Carts L.L.C. was founded in 2008. Due to the archaicness of the brand, it isn’t easy to pinpoint what drove them away from the market. However, the word on the street is that they eventually sold their parts to a South California company after folding up. 

Other sources from research trace Ruff N’ Tuff to GEM, a leading provider of electric vehicles for more than 20 years that is now a part of Polaris Industries, one of the top manufacturers of outdoor recreational vehicles. 

Ruff And Tuff Golf Cart Models

The Ruff and Tuff carts are produced in six different lineups; some are ideal for moving around the fairways, while others were built explicitly with hunters in mind. Here’s a list of all Ruff And Tuff models and the purpose for which they are designed to work: 

Ruff And Tuff Cart Model

Image	Product	Detail	Price
	R/T Cruiser 2P	For family and cruising neighborhoods	Price
	R/T Cruiser 4P	Doubles as a golf cart but is for moving around the neighborhood	Price
	Golf	Golf cart model	Price
	Workman	For heavy-duty and hauling loads	Price
	Hunter 2P	For hunting	Price
	Hunter 4×4	For hunting in extreme terrain	Price

The Appearance 

Each Ruff N Tuff cart model looks different. For example, the Hunter version is equipped with a stand-up gun rack, while other models have a two-passenger seat at the rear,r which doubles as a foldable bed for a truck-like appearance. 

All models are equipped with rearview mirrors and matching tops. They are available in Blue, Green, White, Red, Yellow, black, K, and some in camouflage colors. This article will focus on the Ruf N Tuff Golf cart model. 

The Golf model has a brush guard, a removable gate on the rear, parking brakes that work, and working blinkers.

Key Features

Ruff and Tuff deploys a 14 HP Motor and 48 Volt system. Most models will have 150 AH Gel Batteries and a 650 amp controller. No, these components are expected to serve you a great driving experience. But in most of the review videos I’ve watched, owners have had to replace or fix some of this component, especially in cases where it was purchased from an auction. 

• The Ruff and Tuff cart is designed with a push button forward and reverse switch integrated into the dashboard, making driving very easy. 
• It also features a heavy-lifted suspension.
• Unlike the Golf model, the Ruff and Tuff R/T Cruiser has 10” Aluminum rims,s which is the same length as the R/THunterr model, only that it comes with black steel rims. 
• The R/T Mud mode, ideal for rough terrain and driving within the woods, measures 22x11x10 R/T. 
• All models have horns, seatbelts, head, tail,l, brake lights, and turn signals. When you flip the driver’s seat, you see the battery, an attached charge meter, and a 12-power outlet.
• The unit has a 48-volt charger and a locking Glove Box connected to the dashboard area. 

Accessories

These days, it’s hard to find who sells new accessories for Ruff And Tuff car seats. If you’re lucky enough to find one, you can integrate a Cargo Rack in the front of the center for a hunting trip. 

There’s also a fitting for a utility box for tailgating. Other accessories like sporting clay baskets, trailer hitches, and mesh utility baskets can be installed on any Ruff or TUff model. 

Ruff and Tuff Golf Cart Prices

It’s nearly impossible to see Ruff and Tuff’s golf carts listed on EV and coach retail websites. However, dealers like Texas Golf Cars & Service lists used Ruff and Tuff golf carts for sale, along with accessories. 

You can also get auction prices on platforms like World Golf Carts, where a Ruff & Tuff 6-passenger limousine golf cart sells for $6,500.  

Ruff and Tuff Golf Cart Problems

Ruff and Tuff golf carts can experience various problems over time like any other vehicle. One of the most common problems with these electric golf carts is battery-related issues, such as a dead battery, weak battery performance, or a battery that won’t hold a charge.

If you bought a Ruff and Tuff and notice this defect, check the battery connections for corrosion and ensure they are clean and secure. Also, test the battery voltage using a voltmeter. If the voltage is significantly lower than its rated voltage, it may need replacement.

Charge the battery fully and maintain a regular charging schedule. If the battery is old or damaged, consider replacing it with a new one.

Many owners have reported issues with the light accessory, so there might also be issues. I love how Motorsports, in a YouTube video, addressed the dynamics of this common Ruff and Tuff cart issue:

Sometimes, owners face electrical issues such as malfunctioning lights, horns, or accessories. When I purchased the 2017 limo, I had to check the fuses and relays for any blown fuses or damaged components. While there was no need for replacement in my case, 

I still recommend any new owner inspect the wiring for loose connections, frayed wires, or damage. Look at how an owner battles with problems relating to fuses on his 2006 Ruff And Tuff cart that make the unit not move:

What Are Golfers Saying About The Ruff And Tuff Carts Today?

After combing the internet and seeking opinions from my favorite online golf players’ forums, I realized this brand has mixed reviews. While some blatantly advise people to steer clear of Ruff and Tuff, others encourage the purchase, provided interested buyers are ready to spend on maintenance. 

The reality is that people are still interested in this old brand, mainly due to its ruggedness. But I noticed the locals are more hunters than golfers. So the Hunter 4×4 model has more favorites than the Cruiser 2P, 4, P, or even the Limo 6 passenger. 

There’s a vast community,y such as the Electric Forum, where the usage of Ruff and Tuff golf carts is discussed,d and those who have problems with this EV resolution get help from fellow users. 

Conclusion

If you can purchase a Ruff and Tuff cart, don’t get your hopes too high for its ruggedness. It may look clean, and the batteries would still hold a charge with no apparent issues. In my case, the batteries are Ruff and Tuff-branded. I still can’t believe that 9-year-old storms will still do 12 miles. Still, it loses speed pretty badly when going uphill around the golf course but goes fine on the flats.

Of course, finding parts houses that carry bits for these specifically will be a problem. Of course, some mechanics have found a way to replace components of this old cart with those on the popular EZ-GO, which are plentiful. So, that’s a silver lining. 

Advanced EV Golf Carts are relatively new to the market. Available in three main trims, they have a simplistic design and contain the basic cart features for a satisfactory drive around the golf course. Being an average EV golf cart, it doesn’t feature as much advanced tech as most other options in the market, but the price sits well within the affordability range.

The carts designed by Advanced are relatively new to the market, even though the EV manufacturer, GOof Car Dealers, has been in the industry for over 35 years. I can recall that sometime last year, a couple of guys at my club traded their old carts for one of these, and I have noticed that some others are thinking about it. 

Out of curiosity, 18 months ago, I purchased a unit from Acme Tools in Minot, North Dakota. It cost me around $10,000. The word on the street is that all the trims from Advanced Carts look pretty good and have some good features.

Advance Advent golf cart

$11,999

• The roof is well-made with an Aluminum Alloy Frame.
• 2. Equipped with 4kW AC Motor drive mechanism 
• 3. It works with a 350-A Toyota controller that powers the system.
• 4. The AC drive enhances torque, climbing capabilities, and acceleration.

Advanced EV Trims

It is safe to call the Advanced carts vehicles” because not all are suited for the golf course. Some are designed with low speeds for neighborhood driving, while others have the potential for industrial applications. Here are the three trims of Advanced EVs:

If you’re looking for a new cart and don’t want to stick within the confines of the BIG 3 (Yamaha, Club Car, and EZGO), this brand may be worth your attention. In the rest of this post, I will walk you through the specifications, performance levels, benefits, and disadvantages of having these golf carts. Let’s start with its key features: 

Advanced EV Key Features

We will focus on the EV1 model from Advance Golf Carts since it’s the particular trim designed with golfers in mind. Here are the key features of this cart:

1. The roof is well-made with an Aluminum Alloy Frame.

2. Equipped with 4kW AC Motor drive mechanism 

3. It works with a 350-A Toyota controller that powers the system.

4. The AC drive enhances torque, climbing capabilities, and acceleration. This lets you traverse various challenging terrains with peace of mind. 

5. An average speed of 25 miles per hour

6. Stylish but simplistic design. 

7. A buzzer that goes off in case you’re backing up.

Design And Appearance 

The Advanced EV 48V electric 2+2 passenger lifted golf cart looks like a typical Axis ACE NV cart, especially when you glance at it from the front. The design is not super special, as it preaches more minimalism.

Of course, it has only two cup holders for the front passengers. The cart provides USB Ports and a beautiful screen display on the dash area. Other relevant details of the Advancance golf cart design and appearance include: 

• Front Bumper
• Roof Hand Holders
• Painted Top
• 3-Point Seat Belt System
• Charge Meter
• Foldable/Removable Windshield (not pictured)
• Headlight, Break light, and taillight 
• Crash bumpers 

Performance

Advanced golf carts may have low speeds but feature disc brakes up front, drum brakes in the rear, and rear parking brakes. It has beautiful wheels for challenging terrain.

The Advance vehicles, across all models, will go from 19 to 25 miles per hour and are very easy to modify if legal in your area. 

Battery And Charging 

The golf cart comes with a standard 4 KW electric AC motor, but you can upgrade to a 5 KW motor, and the controller for this cart is made by Toyota. You can also upgrade the low-speed design by opting for lithium-ion batteries.

The charger plugs right into the base section of the driver’s seat, so you don’t have to flip the chair over for a comfortable charging process.

Advance Golf Carts Pros And Cons 

Here are the benefits and disadvantages of the Advance Golf Carts that I noticed:

What I like about this cart

• Super easy to operate
• The EV1 model sits on the ground and is smaller, but it’s very suited for those with bad knees since they won’t have to lift their legs up
• The less aggressive tires of the EV1 model make it ideal for driving on the golf course, so they don’t damage the lawn. 
• Satisfactory sitting legroom 
• Amazing lightning and fancy design on the headlights
• Affordable option 
• The phone holders in the dash area are a huge plus.
• Super extensive roof coverage

What I don’t like about this cart 

• There’s nothing particularly unique about this golf cart, so I struggle to identify why it gets the hype
• There are only two cup holders for front passengers, whereas many other competing products feature four at the front and one each for rear passengers.

Price

The Advanced EV golf carts are offered at locations nationwide, but you won’t find the exact pricing for the coaches on the website. Base-level models with few upgrades (in the 2-seater option) would sell for around $7000–$9000. This, of course, includes traditional lead acid batteries. When you go to LIthium batteries, the price is considerably higher. 

I particularly like the base model Advent carts. The style of the coaches may be boring, but the interesting appearances come from the Advent trim.  The Evolution Advent 2 costs $7,325, and the Advent 4L model costs $10,599.

Warranty 

The Ev1 and Advent models come with a full five-year warranty. The Advanced HD has a two-year contract. 

My Final Take

It’s been 18 months and 750 miles into using the Advance golf carts, and there have been zero mechanical issues. While much credit has to go into my maintenance routine, I confess it’s a durable cart. 

At a glance, the cart has pretty good specifications and looks nice. I am impressed that it holds the same value upon close inspection and time-bound testing. 

I’ve always liked Clubcar, but I’m intrigued by this because of the price versus-feature ratio. But if you’re currently in the market for a brand new golf cart, I will recommend you stick with the big three. 

And if something like Advance piques your interest more, I strongly recommend EZGO because the aftermarket parts market is solid for the big three compared to Advance EV. 

Renegade Golf carts may not be among the famous names in the market, but their coaches are impressive. The Renegade 1.0 model has fewer features than the 2.0 and Renegade Plus. However, the cart generally holds up and outperforms much of its competition in features and durability, and it sells for around $10,000 at Lowe’s.

The first impression of many golf cart enthusiasts towards the Renegade golf cart is that it looks like a Club Car clone. It’s tricky to determine if this idea is a compliment or otherwise. But if you’re shopping for a new cart, you may come across the Renengade at a local dealer. 

Unfortunately, there aren’t many reviews about this model, and I would understand since many people prefer to err on the side of caution and buy from the Big 3 (Yamaha, Club Car, and EZGO). 

At first glance, my recently purchased 48V Renegade Electric Golf cart shares many similarities with the Club Car Precedent, from the alloy frame to the Club Car-like shape. But it’s blessed with other unique features, including 4-wheel disk brakes, coil double a-arm suspension, and lithium batteries.

In the rest of this article, I will walk you through the specifications, features, benefits, and driving performance of the Renegade Plus 2.0 golf cart. I will also share my reservations about this golf cart and what to consider before throwing money on it. 

Renegade Golf Cart Specifications

Below are the specifications of the Renegade golf cart: 

Renegade Golf Cart

$13,599

• Charger is in the battery bay for easy charging access.
• You can transfer accessories between the two golf carts, such as the Fender Flares, to minimize dirt pick-up and seat covers.
• Advanced tech and controls

Appearance

Starting from the front view, the Renegade Plus 2.0 has an ample rectangular LED light that beams brightly and casts on the ground for better vision. It also has lights on the side with integrated side signals.

The tires are 14-inch rims ruggedly designed for off-road use, allowing you to drive it both on the golf course and off-road. 

The cart has a lovely spacious front basket, bowl guard, and two hitches in the front for load haulage, which makes it more versatile than a golf cart. 

Meanwhile, I like the extended roof that covers all passengers. As you’d expect, the rear seat flips over like a regular golf cart into a utility bed, and underneath the middle, there’s a cooler for storing drinks and all.

The unique thing about the rear design of the Renegade Plus 2.0 golf cart is the bag holder. So you’re not going to sacrifice golfing for the four seats even though the component comes off easily if you don’t prefer to install it. 

Design 

On the golf cart’s control area, the horn level doubles as the switch for turn signals. It features a slot for USB and Type C cable. It also has a port for plugging Walkman or Discman. The dash screen is touch-enabled and allows you to connect via Bluetooth. The cart is designed with a locking optional dash.  

The neutral, drive, and reverse are controlled by buttons on the dash, the same with the low beam and flashers. It has a rearview camera, which you can adjust on the dash screen.

The steering wheel is designed with carbon fiber, and there’s a nice sticker on the steering wheel detailing the golfing instructions, 

Performance 

According to Renegade, the golf cart will cruise up to 25 miles per hour, which is pretty impressive compared to competitors like Coleman or Candy, which only go 12 to 14 mph. 

While driving, the 5000-watt Renegade goes much quicker and easier to navigate. I like the simplicity of the design. 

Comfort

The comfort of the Renegrade cart is decent. There is nothing special about the details that account for convenience on this vehicle, but I like that it features over-the-shoulder seat belt holders (not lap belts), which apply to front and rear passengers. 

There are also four cup holders for front passengers and two for each rear passenger, which is wide enough to accommodate modern bottle shape and size. 

Charging

The Renegade Golf cart comes with a standard onboard charger – a 110 outlet wall outlet that plugs right into the cart so you don’t have to flip the driver’s seat over for a charge. The charging time is 6.5 hours to get 120V.

The cart has friendly sealed lead acid batteries with no maintenance needed. However, specific dealers offer options for upgrades to lithium batteries. 

Renegade Golf Cart Pros And Cons

There’s no perfect cart out there. Renegade has many features that make it appealing, and it was hard for me to pinpoint a single flaw in its design. But if you’re looking to purchase this cart, any model, look at for these pros and cons: 

What I like about this golf cart 

• Unlike most other golf carts, the charger is in the battery bay for easy charging access.
• It shares many similar design features with the Club Car, so there is no learning curve, and you can transfer accessories between the two golf carts, such as the Fender Flares, to minimize dirt pick-up and seat covers.
• Affordable
• The Renegade 2.0 has a golf bag holder add-on, so you don’t sacrifice this for a utility bed at the rear.
• Advanced tech and controls 

What I don’t like about this golf cart

• The engine brake was too aggressive for my driving style. This may not be the experience of everyone who has driven the Renegade, but it’s worth paying attention to. 
• You will likely pay over the price of a used Club Car when buying the Renegade Golf Cart, but the price is worth it, considering all the features that come with it.

Renegade Golf Cart Operation Guide

You can operate the Renegade Golf cart as you would with any other general golf cart. I love how SaferWholesale, a provider of recreational products, demonstrated the use of this cart in the video below: 

48v Electric Renegade Golf Cart With 5000 Watt Motor & Many Options

The Renegade golf cart also comes with an owner’s manual to guide you on its operation guidelines and troubleshooting tips if you encounter any issues. 

My Final Take 

For me, purchasing a Renegade Golf Cart is synonymous with pulling the trigger because it’s a relatively novel and unpopular brand, so you can’t be sure what to expect. To my surprise, I’ve had it for about a month, and it has performed decently. 

Performance-wise, the speedo in the dash shows maximum speeds of 20 to 22mph, depending on terrain. But from my driving experience, it is faster than my older Club Car Precedent. 

I love how the cart fantastically holds speed going up pretty steep hills. It dramatically benefits me because I live in a hilly neighborhood. 

Renegade Golf carts come with sealed AGM batteries, a lift kit, brush guard, horn, tow hitch, Ice cooler, rearview mirrors, turn signals, Bluetooth speakers, hazard signals, and a speed governing switch. 

These are unique features that will make your golf cart driving experience wholesome. The suspension will also impress you when you notice how smooth it is on gravel roads at full speed. 

I have been keeping up with the rear drums of my Club Car, but seeing the 4-wheel hydraulic disc brakes in Renegade is like an answered prayer because I can now cruise at max speed and stop on time.

Overall, the Renegade Golf Cart is worth the investment – no caveat. Do you have a different view? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comment section about this model.

Thanks for reading. 

Steering problems in EZ-GO golf carts can be due to worn-out tie rod ends, loose steering components, and misaligned wheels. To fix this problem, inspect and replace damaged parts, tighten loose connections, and ensure proper wheel alignment.

Above all, regular maintenance and lubrication will help prevent steering problems from occurring again.

Even though your golf cart is still in top condition, it can experience steering problems, especially when you drive it often on uneven or rugged terrain. This happened to my recently purchased 2013 EZGO RXV electric golf cart. I got it with a drop spindle lift kit and custom tires, and the steering was extremely loose. 

Being mechanically inclined, I tried replacing the steering gearbox and the steering. Still, the steering remained a little loose. Upon researching other golf cart owners who have experienced similar issues, I discovered this is a widespread problem, particularly with people using EZGO.

I had a productive chat with the local technician in the area and did further mechanical practice to figure out the most common causes of steering problems, how to trace them, and their perfect quick fixes. 

Generally, a steering wheel that makes the cart turn too little, too much, or not at all is already a problem. No matter the cause, the fixing process takes patience because it concerns the steering. 

It all comes down to knowing what to look for and how to tackle the particular issue. 

1. The Steering Is Misaligned

Misalignment of the steering is one of the common problems diagnosed with defective EZGO Golf Carts. The primary cause of this misalignment is when the wheel is turned excessively to either left or right with the steering. 

The Solution 

In such a situation, all you need is a tweak in the alignment system—a steering adjustment—to get the steering more responsive. The following steps can guide you on how to go about the process: 

Step 1: Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the central shank nut attached to it. 

TIP: If you remove the nut, the steering wheel may pop out, so be conservative. 

Step 2: Tap the wheel with a rubber mallet on both sides and pull it upward. I recommend using a rubber mallet instead of the metal punch many technicians use because it helps prevent damage while loosening it. 

Step 3: Once the steering wheel comes off, put it back on and make the threads on either side of the steering rack even. 

Step 4: Check and ensure the shaft twists aren’t interacting with the jam nuts in the rack. You can make this happen by adjusting or tightening the routing wheel with a wrench. 

Step 5: Rotate the wheel to the center and align it to your preferred adjustment. Bring it back to the default position and repeat on the opposite side. 

After doing this, you are probably dealing with loose steering and still find your EZGO golf cart giving you problems. 

2. The Steering Is Loose

When fixing loose steering problems in golf carts, an area of focus is the tie rod. Adjusting the tie rod of your EZGO cart will fix loose steering. But in rare cases, the problem is traced to bushings, pinion and rack arrangements, or even the steering box. 

I will not dwell on the possibility of a steering box, pinion, or rack arrangement because the critical solution usually replaces those parts due to worn-out problems. You can contact a technician for such a task. 

However, if the loose steering is traced to the tie rod adjustment, it needs tightening. Here’s how to fix it:

The Solution 

Before you proceed with the steps, I recommend you get a small floor jack to lift the cart due to the limited ground clearance of these vehicles. You also need to attach wheel chocks to the back wheels. Now follow these steps: 

Step 1: Use the wheel to turn the rack to one side.

Step 2: Locate the bottom adjustment nut and loosen it with a wrench. Remember to use a flat screwdriver if what controls the middle adjustment is a screw. If it’s a nut, then the Allen wrench will work perfectly.

Step 3: Rotate the middle adjustment clockwise to attach to the rack. Again, turn counter-clockwise by a 22.5- to 45-degree angle. Repeat this step to assess the binding.

Step 4: Lift the cart to remove the jack, then remove the chocks once they are firm on the ground.

Step 5: The connection between the steering and wheels must be tight and synchronized with the entire machinery.

TIP: If the steering wheel is not binding well when rotating the middle adjustment clockwise to attach to the rack, the tie rods may be faulty and need replacement. 

3. The steering is hard 

I have read and seen many technicians talk about fixing EZGO golf cart steering problems on forums, but only a few people address the issue of stiff steering in these carts. 

At one time, the 2013 EZGO RXV Electric had a complex steering problem. The wheels move in direct proportion to the steering wheel. But when making a turn, it feels like there is an immediate resistance to the turn, followed by breaking through that resistance for less than a quarter turn. It will often occur in both directions.

If this situation sounds familiar, you shouldn’t hesitate to change parts without knowing the problem. 

In most situations, stiff steering on EZGO golf carts is traced to a faulty steering box. However, the culprits can be the ball joints and the steering wheel. 

The Solution 

Before calling the attention of a dealer technician, I had pulled the steering wheel, but all looked normal at that end. I replaced the left front A-Arm because the bolt was severely worn and off-center, but that didn’t make a difference. 

Upon the inspection of the dealer technician, the steering box was the culprit. More precisely, the steering column had to be replaced because it got bent at the joint where the yoke goes into the steering box. 

So, if your EZGO golf cart develops stiff steering, the steering box is a significant area to look at above everything else. 

Still No Dice? 

If you’ve tried all the above fixes and your EZGO golf cart isn’t as responsive as it used to be, then there’s possibly more than meets the eye (especially if you’re running on older models like 1989 EZGO RXV and 1996 EZGO TXT model)

In such a situation, you need the help of a technician to take a professional look at the problem. But remember that no matter the model you use, new or old, steering problems can surface anytime.

Golf courses are uneven or rugged terrain, and the steering wheel can get off-centered or loose when dealing with it. 

So, above all, inspect the steering wheel periodically and adjust it whenever necessary, using the right tools. Most routine front suspension and steering maintenance consists of periodic inspections for loose, worn, or damaged components, alignment checks, and lubrication of ball joints and wheel bearings.

EZGO manufacturer has guided you through their models’ maintenance, repair, and service procedures.  

The main reason why the EZGO Gas golf cart hesitates when accelerating is that it has a dirty carburetor. However, in some cases, the culprits could be a problem with the throttle sensor or wiring, a low battery, and a fault in the motor or controller.

To solve this issue, check the rubber boot and clean it if you spot any dirt. If that doesn’t fix it, troubleshoot for throttle, battery, motor, and controller defects.

Problems with accelerators are common in golf carts. Numerous users on various online communities have mentioned that the Ezgo Gas model has acceleration issues. I realized this when it happened with my EZGO TXT gas golf cart recently.

You are probably familiar with fixing accelerator issues in an average car. Still, I eventually realized that the methods and solutions differ from those you can apply to carts.

The Gas Club Car is typically expected to start immediately when pressing the gas pedal. But several times during the round, the pedal is pushed, and there is a hesitation. 

In my situation, I even had to push the pedal to the floor before the starter engaged and the engine started. Being mechanically inclined, I tried a bunch of troubleshooting, which failed until I could fix it with the help of the technical support personnel.  

In this article, I’ll show you how the acceleration hesitation is solved on an Ezgo gas golf cart and other alternative troubleshooting tips you can try if there’s still no dice. 

The Fix That Worked For Me

After doing a lot of guesswork, I still had problems with my Club Car hesitating while starting. For context, I had ticked the following solutions: 

• Purchased the highest Cold Cranking Amp battery
• I Checked the pedal linkage – from pedal to governor (controller) and from that top to the carburetor.
• I checked the starter generator belt, and it’s tight.
• I checked the voltage of the battery, and it is 12.83 volts.
• Removed and cleaned all the connections.
• I installed a new ground wire from the battery to the starter/generator.

After all these measures, the hesitation was still happening. However, some of these steps have worked for many. But mine was different. Recently, I even had a problem where the starter would continue to run even though the cart was turned off, and the spark plug wire was pulled.

I realized that I had to seek more professional help. The diagnosis at the workshop revealed that the cart’s voltage regulator was terrible. I also had to replace the solenoid. Upon putting a battery analyzer on the battery, it showed less than 200 CCA.

I had to replace the battery with a new one (800 CCA), and now it started and ran like a new cart. The hesitation when accelerating my Ezgo gas club cart disappeared after I replaced the voltage regulator, changed the solenoid, and got a better battery. 

If you’re facing a similar situation, this can be a direction for you. But remember that yours may not be as severe as mine. You could only have a dirty carburetor and no further technical issues. 

This is why I encourage you to identify the culprit before making any technical changes when your golf cart hesitates when accelerating. After a deep conversation with the technical personnel who attended to me and further research, I gathered the common causes that make particular Ezgo gas golf carts hesitate when you pedal the acceleration.

6 Most Common Possible Reasons Why Gas Golf Carts Hesitate When Accelerating

If your EZGO Gas golf cart hesitates while accelerating, the reason can be traced to any of these issues:

1. The carburetor is clogged with dirt and restricts fuel and gas flow to the engine.
2. The throttle cable isn’t in the correct position.
3. The battery is low or has a weak charge, which makes it unable to provide enough power for acceleration.
4. A fault in the motor or controller causes it not to provide the necessary energy for smooth acceleration.
5. A problem with the throttle sensor or wiring is blocking the proper signals to the motor for consistent acceleration. 
6. Limited power output settings or programming limitations.

Some of these issues will require the intervention of a technical expert. But before you go through that hassle, here are the basic steps you can take that can most likely solve the issue and get your cart to work correctly:

How To Fix Gas Golf Cart Hesitate When Accelerating

Fixing the accelerator problems of a gas golf cart is easier once you can pinpoint the source of the problem. First of all, open the hood, identify the symptoms, then consider the following troubleshooting attempts: 

Step 1: Thoroughly examine the cable connections and condition

The first step is to look at the cable connections. Are there loose connections or defective wires? This could be a significant reason. Replace the faulty cables. If you can’t identify any, reattach the wires tightly to the parts they belong to. 

Poor cable connections are a commonly reported culprit for hesitation when accelerating Gas golf carts. But it may not solve the problem permanently. But it’s worth a try.

Step 2: Clean the carb

Detach the carburetor from the engine and other parts, then remove the piston and float assembly, for example, a piston, float chamber, throttle valve, and other factors.

You can spray this carburetor cleaning solution on all surfaces using a small plastic brush and thoroughly scrub all the parts and places. 

After thorough cleaning, use a small cloth to remove residual solvent and reattach the component.

Step 3: Test the solenoid with a multimeter.

If there are no problems with the wire and the carb is clean, test the solenoid using a multimeter. Since this component is responsible for allowing the electrical current from your battery to provide power to the entire cart, it can cause hesitation during accelerating when it’s faulty. 

First, detach the wires of the component and keep the terminals separated from each other to identify the resistance[ohms] of the solenoid on the multimeter. If it’s beyond 0.4 ohms, the solenoid is wrong, and you should replace it. 

Step 4: Try changing the battery 

A faulty battery is another common reason for hesitation when accelerating. The power supply from the battery weakens over an extended period of usage. It’s an easy but expensive solution. However, this may not be an issue if your cart is new. 

Still No Dice? 

After trying all these measures, and your Ezgo gas golf cart still stalls when accelerating, it means there’s more than meets the eye. It means the issue is coming from somewhere we’re not looking. 

Consider the weight or cargo on the golf cart. Excess weight can affect acceleration, so remove unnecessary items and see if anything changes. 

If that’s not the case, consider having a qualified mechanic or technician diagnose the problem. Occasionally, hesitation when accelerating stems from complex engine or drivetrain issues. 

The Cost Of Fixing Gas Golf Cart Accelerator Problems

If you take your cart to a qualified technician to fix accelerator issues, they will most likely replace some components, as seen in my case. Of course, it can be cheaper if you only get the diagnosis and do it yourself. 

But a professional will charge for replacement parts and work hours. For an Ezgo golf cart, new batteries can cost around $1,000, while a speed controller system costs as much as $280. Expect to pay about $30 for the carburetor and solenoids each, depending on the voltage and type. 

R-Motion golf simulator and swing analyzer is a bang for a buck. Pricing under $300, the device is a valid option for a quick and fun way to enjoy golf when you can’t go into a golf course.

It measures ball speed, club speed, smash factor, swing path, distance, and the launch angle. However, R-Motion has been discontinued, so there’s no customer support. The simulator has a track record of giving Inconsistent readings for short chips and needs a hitting mat and impact net for better performance.

Even though Rapsodo, the manufacturer, doesn’t appear to sell this model any longer, several recommendations on various golfers’ online communities point to this R-Motion as one of the viable options for “accurate and affordable” performance. 

The reviews on R-Motion are mixed. If you’re considering getting the R-Motion golf simulator, you need a compact, less complex, and affordable training device to help you improve your game. 

The R-Motion golf simulator uses photometric technology, which measures swing and ball data and provides instant feedback on a range of clubhead and ball statistics. It measures clubhead and golf ball contact data with a high-speed camera while the device’s software calculates the ball trajectory and distance.

When I went to a set-up shop for the off-season, I realized Rapsodo discontinued the whole program of the R-Motion and not just the device itself – software that I needed to update. 

People still use the dongle and 14 clips, and I brought it to an indoor practice facility last week, along with a Foresight tracking system. The two systems track different data points, so it is difficult to tell whether R-Motion was accurate or not.

However, the R-Motion was close for the most part, and the flight path was comparable. There were shots that the two provided very different numbers.

In the rest of this article, you will learn all you need to know about the Rapsodo R-Motion Golf Simulator and Swing Analyzer to help you determine if it’s worth your investment. 

Rapsodo R-Motion Golf Simulator Specifications

Here’s a tabular list of some relevant specifications for the R-Motion Golf Simulator:

Key features

The Rapsodo R Motion golf simulator is a sensor you clip to your golf clubs to detect swings. You then sync the sensor with your phone or PC to obtain important swing data. Here are the key features of this club: 

1. Swing analysis: The R-Motion system includes sensors that attach to your golf club and capture data about your swing, including club speed, path, face angle, and impact conditions. This data is then used to provide insights into your swing mechanics and helps you identify areas for improvement.

2. Realistic simulation: The system works with The Golf Club simulation software to provide a virtual golfing experience. It tracks your club’s movement and translates it into a simulated golf shot on a screen. This allows you to play rounds of golf on various virtual courses without leaving your home.

3. Ease of setup: It’s an easy-to-use option since the sensors attach to your club without requiring significant modifications or adjustments. The software is typically installed on a computer or other compatible device, and you might need to connect to a projector or screen for the virtual course display.

4. Accuracy: The R-Motion isn’t as advanced as some high-end golf simulators, but it offers reasonable accuracy in capturing swing data and translating it into virtual shots. The number of attachments you use, the sensor calibration, and the club type will also influence the accuracy.

5. Data feedback: The system typically provides real-time feedback on your swing data, allowing you to see the results of your shots, analyze your swing metrics, and make adjustments accordingly.

6. No golf mat or net: The Golf simulator does not come with an itstanglet or catch; you must purchase them separately. However, you can achieve a more immersive experience by hooking your laptop to a projector and ng into a net.

You should go with a short throw projector like this BenQ MW632ST WXGA  short throw projector so that you can eliminate shadows.

Accessories

You get one standard tracker or sensor when you purchase the R-Motion golf simulator. The package also comes with the following accessories: 

• Classic owner manual to put you through the setup steps
• Four durable clips are available as standard. (You can supplement t the sensor by buying spinster clips, which cost close to $100 more, so you don’t have to remove and install them for every one of your clubs.)
• Software is included in the “lite” version. It has 15 virtual golf courses and a driving range. You can download it for free.
• You can access the app from your Google Play Store.

How To Use R-Motion Golf Simulator: Step-by-Step Guide

It’s super easy to work with the R-Motion, but most cases where it gives wrong data are traced to improper installation in the first place. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

Step 1: Unboxing and Initial Setup

Unbox the R-Motion Golf Simulator package and identify the sensor, the clip, the charging cable, and the manual. Then, Charge the sensor using the provided charging cable. It has to be a fully charged sensor before using it. 

Step 2: Installing the App

Now, you must install the compatible app on your device (smartphone, tablet, or computer). You can find the app on app stores or the R-Motion website. Download and install the app that corresponds to your device’s operating system.

Step 3: Mounting the Sensor

Attach the clip to your golf club (preferably the club you’ll be hitting the most shots with).

Slide the R-Motion sensor into the clip securely. Ensure it’s positioned so that the camera faces you as you hold the club, as this will determine the accuracy of your shots.

Step 4: Connecting the Sensor

Turn on your R-Motion sensor by pressing the power button. Open the installed app on your device and use the app’s instructions to establish a Bluetooth connection between the sensor and your device.

Step 5: Calibrating the System

Follow the app’s on-screen instructions to calibrate the sensor. You’ll need to set up a few parameters like club selection, lengths, and ball position. 

Step 6: Starting a Session

Once calibrated, you’re ready to start a golf session. Choose a golf course or range to play on using the app. The app will display available options. Select the club you’ll use from the app’s menu for the shot.

Step 7: Taking Shots

Position the ball on a hitting mat and address the ball as you would on an actual golf course. Make your swing, aiming to hit the ball cleanly and squarely.

The sensor will track your swing and ball data, and the app will display the shot’s outcome, including distance and direction.

After each shot, the app will provide data about your image, including distance, ball speed, launch angle, and more. You can use shot analysis to identify areas for improvement in your swing and gameplay. 

I particularly love how GolfAllYear demonstrated the setup process in the video below.

Pros And Cons

The R-Motion is a discontinued product, so there’s no support for it. However, if you’re lucky enough to get this on the market, here are a few pros and cons that I noticed while testing this simulator and swing analyzer that you should keep in mind: 

What I like about the R-motion Golf simulator

• Good graphics
• Easy-to-use lightweight sensor clips
• Gaming features such as 15 courses, a driving range, and a multiplayer option
• Easy to put together
• It’s not expensive. It has an auto rewind feature to monitor your ball flight closely.
• Compatible with any golf club, including your own

What I like about the R-motion Golf simulator

• There have been growing reviews on how connecting to the dongle is challenging.
• It doesn’t come with a hitting mat and impact net 
• Inconsistent in reading short chips
• No official product support
• It doesn’t work with the Mac operating system

The Price

You won’t find the R-Motion kit listed or available on the official Rapsodo website because it’s discontinued.  I have linked to it on Amazon a number of times here, but it’s hit and miss if it’s in stock.

However, the golf simulator retails for around $300 through Amazon, Walmart, and other online shopping platforms. You could even get a more affordable deal at Ebay. 

However, the standard purchase comes with the sensor, four club attachments, and a “Lite” version of The Golf Club game with fifteen courses and a driving range.  

You’ll spend an extra $90 to purchase ten more attachments, which you can use on your other golf clubs. 

Wrapping up

With a single golf simulator kit, you can obtain club data, including club path, swing speed, and club face angle, and b, all data such as shot distance, side spin, back spin, ball speed, and launch angle. It’s a bang for a buck. 

However, based on the entertainment factor, ease of use, and ability to improve the user’s game, I will choose a better alternative, like the eOptishot 2, over the R-Motion. 

Indeed, Raposodo R Motion will give you robust shot data, but it reads inaccurately sometimes, and it’s a discontinued product. 

If you must buy a Rapsodo compact and budget-friendly simulator, I recommend the brand’s latest Mobile LaunchMonitor instead, which uses more effective radar technology. 

The Cube golf cart is super compact and sticks out from many other push trolleys I’ve tried regarding maneuverability. However, the negative reviews about its flimsy handle appear to be valid. I walk a lot, and the course isn’t too hilly. But after a couple of months, the handle won’t stay locked. The Cube golf cart design is cheap but not ideal for long-term intensive use. 

After coming across the 9-hole study by Dr. Neil Wolkodoff of the Colorado Center of Health and Sports Science, I became more interested in push trolleys than two-seater golf carts after learning that players who used a push cart burned 718 calories during their game. 

The redesigned Cube trolley has been Motocaddy’s best-selling push trolley for the last couple of years, especially given that it’s 40% smaller than typical push trolleys while still retaining a lot of functionality.

I have been using the Cube Cart 3 model cart for about five weeks now, and the most lovable thing about this product has to be how it collapses into a relatively small compact unit. The wheels are easy to put on and take off, and it is lightweight. 

Suppose you’re planning to purchase the Cube Cart 3. In that case, this article will interest you because I have explained in detail, in the rest of this article, my experience using the Cube Cart 3, its vital specifications, benefits, and areas where this cart could have been better. 

Cube Cart 3 Specifications

Below are the key specifications of the Cube Cart 3: 

Key Features 

First of all, the back wheel base of this cart isn’t broad enough, and the coach is very lightweight. So it’s best used on flat golf courses. 

If you are playing a hilly course, it is tough to balance walking on the side of a hill where one back wheel is lower than the other. But away from that, here are the key features of this push trolley that make it stand out.

Easy Set-Up and Fold-Down

CUBE boldly claims its push cart is the world’s fastest 2-step folded golf cart. Setting it up or breaking it down is seamless when you pull the cart from your car trunk or are ready to put it back into the trunk for transport. 

To assemble the cart, you only have to:

• Pull the locking lever upwards
• This will release the folding lock
• Use the locking lever to pull the frame upwards until fully extended.

Breaking down the unit also has a straightforward process: 

• Release the locking lever 
• Lower the handle
• Push the upper bag support down towards the front wheel
• Resecure the locking lever.

Compact Size 

The compact size of the Cube Cart 3 is perhaps the most impressive feature of this push cart, especially when it’s folded down. 

The last thing I want when using a push cart is less portability, especially when I don’t have a big trunk. 

I like that the folded-down CUBE Push Cart fits into it with ease. 

Spaces and Accessories

Being a simple construction, it’s pretty impressive that the manufacturers could still integrate standard storage spaces for a scorecard and a drink. There’s also an accessory compartment for keys, wallet, rangefinder, and what have you.

The blessing of this cart, as far as storage spaces go, is that I no longer need to dig through my bag to locate things like golf balls since I can toss them into the compartment.

The Performance

The first noticeable feature of the Cube golf cart that hints at its performance is the easy-run, friction-free, oversized wheels. The rubber tires are also maintenance-free. 

Cube also uses a smarter-designed braking system that takes effect when you step on the small peddle. I prefer this system to struggle with push carts with the hand-operated brake system. 

I have made many reservations about the quality of this push cart’s handle. Still, the silver lining is its adjustable height control, offering three different setting options. 

Sometimes, the front wheel pulls to one side. When this happens, How do you adjust the front wheel on a Motocaddy Cube?

You can adjust the alignment by the tiny screws on each side of the front wheel. So if your cart is veering right, turn the left screw counterclockwise and the right screw clockwise (and vice versa)

Cube Golf Cart Pros And Cons

Cube Golf Cart gets a lot of love because it’s lightweight, folds up nice and small, and fits into even a tiny car trunk. So, in terms of compatibility, it’s a perfect product. However, after testing this cart for about five weeks, I was able to identify the following pros and cons of this push cart:

What I like about the Cube golf cart

• The wheels are wide and lightweight, so it’s seamless moving in the morning dew of the fairway or the long, rough.
• The back rack has notches that are spaced perfectly for stand bag
• The spacing of the handle is comfortable
• The handle is adjustable in 3 modes, an essential aspect for a golfer like me who is 6-2.”
• It’s a reasonably priced golf cart to keep your clubs rolling.

What I don’t like about the Cube Golf cart

• It is not compatible with every golf bag type, especially ones that have kickstands with full-hinged systems, because the legs extend as the cart rolls along.
• The cup holders will only accommodate narrow bottles (read: 20oz soda cans) and won’t sit in modern wine bottles. 
• It is not the most durable option in the market, especially compared to Sun Mountain Golf Speed Cart V1R.
• My iPhone “plus” doesn’t fit with the enclosed tray. This may be nitpicking, but it’s essential to know that not all phone types will fit into this compartment. 

My Final Take

After combing through dozens of reviews on this push golf cart, I noticed that many people consider it for its portability. 

The Cube golf cart has a small footprint when folded, is relatively easy to open and close, and is lightweight for lifting into and out of the car trunk. The brake works efficiently, too, and it locks nicely. Now for the bad: The manual says the front wheel is adjustable for alignment. 

Unfortunately, the product is somewhat flimsy due to its lightweight nature and will likely be unstable on hilly terrain. No matter how carefully I maneuvered the cart up or down hills, it always seemed to tip and once nearly tipped over. 

The umbrella holder also has a flimsy feel. While it holds an umbrella securely, the holder and the upper structure are made from plastic, so the umbrella sways fore and aft as you walk. 

Overall, I’ll call this a decent golf cart if you like to walk a lot. Some flaws may be nitpicky, but this is not a valid option if you want something extremely sturdy. 

Let me know what you think about this Cube golf cart in the comments.
