E-Z-GO Golf Carts
The deepest parts supply in the business
E-Z-GO has been building golf carts in Augusta, Georgia since 1954, which makes it one of the two original American cart brands alongside its crosstown rival Club Car. Today it is owned by Textron, and its carts turn up everywhere from championship golf courses to neighborhood driveways. The two model families you will meet most often on the used market are the older TXT, a simple and rugged platform, and the newer RXV, which introduced an efficient AC drive system and regenerative braking.
The single biggest reason people buy E-Z-GO is parts. After seven decades and millions of carts sold, almost every wear item, controller, solenoid and body panel is available cheaply from dozens of suppliers. That keeps repair costs low and makes the brand a favorite for DIY owners and budget buyers.
Who it is for
E-Z-GO suits the buyer who wants a proven, easy-to-fix cart and does not mind a slightly older design. A used TXT is one of the cheapest ways into a reliable 48-volt cart, and the RXV adds modern efficiency for buyers who want more range.
If you want a turnkey lithium street-legal cart out of the box, the newer Liberty is the model to look at, though brands like ICON and Evolution often undercut it on price.

Maintenance, serial & parts
Keeping an E-Z-GO healthy
Maintenance on an E-Z-GO is straightforward. On lead-acid models, water the batteries monthly, keep the terminals clean and torqued, and watch for the melting and high-resistance connections the brand is prone to when cables loosen.
- On the RXV, the electronic brake and motor brake need occasional attention, and the state-of-charge meter doubles as a basic fault-code reader.
- Gas TXT models need normal small-engine care: oil, filters and a clean carburetor.
- Check battery terminals regularly since loose cables are the most common cause of heat and voltage sag.
Serial, year & parts
To find the exact year and model of an E-Z-GO, read its serial number and decode it with our E-Z-GO Serial Number Lookup. Knowing the year is essential for ordering the right parts and judging value.
E-Z-GO uses both 19-spline and 21-spline motor shafts depending on the model and year, so confirm your spline count before buying a replacement motor or high-speed upgrade. Controllers, solenoids and chargers are widely cross-referenced, and aftermarket lift kits, wheels and lithium conversions are all well supported for both TXT and RXV.
