This blog post covers five accessory categories for EZ-GO golf carts: safety, convenience, performance, exterior, and just for fun.
Category 1: Golf Cart Safety Equipment and Accessories
Golf carts have become increasingly popular as a convenient and eco-friendly mode of transportation for short trips, such as getting around a golf course or a residential community.
However, like any vehicle, golf carts can pose safety risks to passengers and other drivers on the road.
That’s why it’s crucial to equip your golf cart with the proper safety equipment and accessories to help minimize these risks and ensure a safe and enjoyable ride.
Let’s look at some of the most essential golf cart safety equipment and accessories in which every golf cart owner should consider investing.
Visibility and Lighting Features
Visibility and lighting features are essential when it comes to golf cart safety. After all, if you’re not visible to other drivers, you could be in danger.
EZ-GO offers a range of lighting accessories to help improve your cart’s visibility at night and during bad weather. These include LED light bars, front headlights, and halogen rear taillights.
- Headlights
Golf carts automatically come with headlights. However, upgrading to LED headlights is a great option if you want extra illumination for nighttime trips.
- Light Bars
For added visibility, consider installing a light bar. This is especially useful for nighttime off-roading or trips through dark, narrow pathways.
- Halogen Taillights
Ensure others can see you from behind by investing in halogen taillights. This will help other drivers stay aware and avoid potential accidents.
- Reflectors
Reflectors are essential for any vehicle, and golf carts are no exception. Consider adding reflectors to your cart’s sides, bumper, and wheels to ensure you’re visible on the road.
- Turn signals
Turn signals are a must-have for any vehicle, and some EZ-GO golf carts come with integrated turn signals. However, you can also install separate turn signals if your cart doesn’t already have them.
- Safety flags
Safety flags are helpful when riding in low-visibility areas such as beaches or construction sites. For example, consider carrying a bright-colored flag to indicate that you’re driving a golf cart and to help keep other drivers aware of your presence.
- High-visibility decals
High-visibility decals are another great way to increase your golf cart’s visibility. These come in various colors and designs, so you can choose the one that best suits your style.
- Slow-moving vehicle sign
A slow-moving vehicle sign, especially for street-legal golf carts, is essential for users to indicate to other drivers that they’re driving at a slower speed.
Protective Features
Safety doesn’t stop with lighting. We can also equip your EZ-GO golf cart with protective accessories to help reduce the risk of collisions and keep your passengers safe.
- Side mirrors
Side mirrors are readily available and can be mounted to your cart with high-quality screws. You can also find mirrors that fold in, so your golf cart doesn’t take up extra parking space.
- Windshield
Aside from side mirrors, a golf cart windshield can help you improve the safety offering of your cart. Installing a windshield on your cart will help protect yourself and passengers from flying debris and prevent sun glare.
There are various types of golf cart windshields available. Some are detachable, while others are attached to the actual frame of the cart.
Make sure you are buying the one that is most convenient for your needs.
- Seatbelts
Seatbelts aren’t just for cars. They should also be used in golf carts.
EZ-GO offers a range of seatbelt options for both the driver and passengers. However, it’s essential to ensure everyone is buckled up before you take off, as this will help prevent injuries in an accident.
- Golf cart cover
A golf cart cover is one accessory that will help you ensure your cart is as protected as possible. Weather conditions, such as heavy rain, storms, and hail, can cause physical damage. For example, too much sun can cause the paint on your cart to get discolored.
Covers will ensure that your cart is protected when it is parked outside. It will also protect it from getting dirty and the activity of birds and other animals that may cause damage to your cart.
- Bumpers
Bumpers protect your cart from minor collisions when driving on a golf course or pavement. They are made of high-impact plastic and are designed to absorb the energy of impacts, preventing any damage to the cart.
The bumper should fit snugly against the cart’s body and be securely fastened with bolts or screws. Be sure to check your bumper’s condition regularly to ensure it provides adequate protection.
- Fender flares
Fender flares are an excellent upgrade for golf carts. Not only do they give your vehicle a stylish, personalized look, but they also provide necessary protection from flying dirt and debris.
Gone are the days of grumbling about stones pelting your passengers. Instead, install some fender flares, and rest assured that everything in front of the passenger seat will remain safe and secure.
Plus, you’ll enjoy knowing that no dings or scratches will mar your cart’s bright exterior. Fender flares: for style, improved safety, and peace of mind.
- Anti-slip floor mats
Anti-slip floor mats can help ensure your passengers stay safe and secure in the golf cart. They are ideal for wet days, as they will provide excellent grip so passengers won’t slip or slide around on their seats.
These mats should be made from a durable material that is easy to clean and maintain. Also, ensure your mats are placed correctly so they won’t interfere with the cart’s operation.
By prioritizing safety, you can help ensure everyone using your golf cart has an enjoyable and safe ride. In addition, with the right accessories, you can create a secure environment for passengers while adding style and personality.
Communication and Alert Features
Modern technology has made golf cart communicating and staying alert a breeze. There are now a variety of devices that allow you to keep on top of safety and potential hazards.
- GPS tracking systems
Golf cart GPS tracking systems help you monitor your cart so that you can keep an eye on its location at all times.
You’ll be able to check your cart’s location and speed, so you can ensure your cart is operating safely and responsibly.
- Backup camera
A golf cart rear seat backup camera system helps you ensure safe parking and reversing.
This device will provide a live video feed of what’s behind your cart to avoid potential hazards when parking or reversing.
- Safety lights
Golf carts come with headlights and taillights, but safety lights are an upgrade that will give you more visibility in low-light conditions.
Safety lights make it easier for other people to see you, and they can help ensure your cart is seen from a farther distance.
Some safety lights also have flashing capabilities that draw the attention of those around you.
- Anti-theft solutions
Anti-theft solutions provide an additional layer of security for your golf cart. They can come in locks, alarms, and GPS tracking devices. These devices will help ensure that your golf cart remains secure.
Emergency Preparedness
Being prepared for any emergency is crucial, and you can take various practical and proactive measures to minimize the potential risk.
Prevention is always the best medicine, so load up your golf cart with must-have items and get going with peace of mind.
- Fire extinguisher
Fire extinguishers might not be the most exciting accessory on a golf cart, but they are important, especially for electric carts.
- First-aid kit
A first aid kit is a must-have item for any golf cart. It should contain all the necessary items, such as band-aids, antiseptic wipes, splints, and a CPR mask.
- Handheld or mounted spotlight
A handheld or mounted spotlight is an excellent addition to any golf cart. They are handy in dark areas and can help you see potential hazards. They also make finding items in the dark easier, such as lost clubs or balls.
- Roll bars or cages
Roll bars or cages are designed to protect passengers in a rollover accident. They are especially important if the golf cart is used off-road or in hilly terrain with a higher risk of a rollover.
