Top Brands in Quality Utility Carts

Posted in Golf Carts

When it comes to buying a new street vehicle, brand integrity is important. The same is true when buying a golf or utility cart. While there are many brands to choose from, you want a brand that has earned a reputation for quality, dependability and durability. Whether you just need a simple golf cart to bring to the course or want a more rugged utility cart for expeditions into the woods, choosing the right brand and model for your needs could help protect your investment. Here are some of the top brands that offer a quality product that you can count on.

E-Z GO

A pioneer in golf cart manufacturing, EZ-GO has set the standard for quality in the industry. The company was started over fifty years ago and grew from a small Georgia company to an industrial leader in golf and utility carts.

Bad Boy Buggies

Bad Boy Buggies was started in 2003 and quickly became known for their rugged off-road electric carts that offered 4WD and low emissions that could withstand the call of the wild. The company was acquired by EZ-GO in 2010, allowing them to expand their line of quality vehicles for outdoor enthusiasts.

Cushman Carts

The Cushman name has been around for over a century, creating dependable motors and vehicles for commercial and utility applications worldwide. It is owned by Textron, Inc., the parent company of EZ-GO.

Although all three of these are related through their affiliation with Textron, Inc., each has their own excellent reputation for the carts they produce. To find out more about which of these brands will best suit your needs, talk to your local utility cart dealer that offers these fine brands.

Types of Golf Carts

Posted in Golf Carts

To the novice, a golf cart is nothing more than a fun (and some might say lazy) way to get around an 18-hole golf course. But in practice, a golf cart is much, much more than that. Golf carts now come in many shapes and sizes, and are used, yes, for golfing, but also for moving boxes and supplies, transporting luggage at airports and as a primary source of transportation in many retirement communities. 

Here are some of the main types of golf carts currently on the market, offered in both gas and electric models: 

Personal Golf Carts – Golf carts in this category include personal golf carts for getting around communities and elderly housing complexes, golf carts for shopping and markets and golf carts for actual golfing. 

Road Ready Golf Carts – These carts are equipped with safety features such as rear view mirrors and seatbelts and usually have to be registered.  

Utility Golf Carts – Utility golf carts are mechanically enhanced for transporting heavier weights or for using in more rugged areas. They may have bigger engines, better suspension and even four-wheel drive. They are also sometimes lengthened with more seats in back, along with more storage room. Hardware stores might use this type of golf cart, or factories or construction sites. 

Custom Golf Carts –  While regular golf carts are quite plain and usually have just two seats and a little room in the back for your clubs, custom golf carts go all out, modified to look like a Rolls Royce, Bentley or Porcshe. They might have leather seats, wood paneling or special paint jobs for advertisements. This type of luxury golf cart can also be quite costly, as much as $100,000.
