E-Z-GO Serial Number Lookup
Decode your E-Z-GO manufacturer code into model year, likely model, and voltage.
Quick answer: on most E-Z-GO golf carts the model year is hidden in the manufacturer’s code, not an obvious model year stamp. The classic format uses a letter for the month (A is January through L is December) followed by digits that include the two-digit year. Enter your code above and the decoder reads the month and year for you, then infers the likely model line for that era.
Where to find your E-Z-GO serial number
E-Z-GO prints a serial number and a separate manufacturer’s code on a plate or sticker. On many models it is under the glove box, beneath the seat, or on the frame near the rear. The manufacturer’s code is the one that encodes the build date. If you only have a long serial number, enter it too; the decoder will try both patterns.
Once you know the year, you can match parts, batteries, and chargers correctly. If you also need range or charging estimates, jump to the range calculator or the charging time calculator.
E-Z-GO month code reference
The leading letter of the manufacturer’s code is the build month. The digits that follow include the model year. The exact digit layout shifted across eras, which is why the decoder applies the correct rule for your code length rather than guessing.
| Letter | Month | Letter | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | January | G | July |
| B | February | H | August |
| C | March | I | September |
| D | April | J | October |
| E | May | K | November |
| F | June | L | December |
E-Z-GO models by era
The decoder reports the build year and infers a likely model family, because the date code does not name the model directly. Use the era guide below to confirm visually.
| Era | Common Models | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1960s to 1980s | Marathon | Early electric and gas; round body lines |
| 1990s to 2000s | Medalist, TXT | TXT became the long-running workhorse platform |
| 2008 onward | RXV, TXT (Elite) | RXV added AC drive; Elite added lithium options |
For a broader walkthrough of reading any cart’s age, see what year is my golf cart, and to decode other brands use the full serial number decoder. Manufacturer references like the official E-Z-GO site can confirm current model lines.
Worked Example: Reading an E-Z-GO Code
Say your manufacturer code starts with G98. The leading letter G is the seventh month, so the cart was built in July, and the digits that follow place the model year in 1998. From the era guide, a 1998 E-Z-GO is almost certainly a TXT, the workhorse platform of that period, most likely a 36V electric or the 4-cycle gas version. That single code told you the build month, the year, and the likely model family in one read, enough to order the right batteries, charger, and body parts.
How to Read Your Result and What to Do Next
The decoder returns a build month and year plus a likely model family. Treat the model as a strong hint, not a guarantee, because the date code does not name the model directly, so confirm TXT, RXV, or Marathon visually. If the code will not decode, you are probably reading the plain serial number instead of the manufacturer code, look for the separate dated code. Next step: once you have the year, decode other brands or a second cart with the full serial number decoder, or read what year is my golf cart for the visual cues.
