I’ve been contemplating the need for a golf cart lately. Not because I’m a Floridian, but working from home I don’t need my full family vehicle, so my husband takes it, saving us on fuel and tolls. This leaves me with having to use my sons vehicle during the day (he works nights), but my daughter works down the road and with the cost of an automobile, car insurance, tolls and fuel, she doesn’t need the added expenses right now, especially for something she is only driving a few miles down the road. That said, being disabled prevents me from walking too far, so a covered golf cart just makes sense. I dont need a license or insurance, I’m not going on the highway, and I just need it for simple short errands. So, I looked into my options.

This new trend has emerged across neighborhoods and social feeds: people zipping around in golf carts. Creators have been taking to showing off their fantastic new rides online such as cool-girl Olivia Oshry and Lauren Beeston of The Beeston Bunch. Due to a rise in accessibility and interest in leisure activities on and off the golf course, the market is growing and demanding a sweeter way to enjoy life. According to Global Market Insights, golf carts are set to rise to a $3.6 billion industry by 2034, leaving many to ask what has facilitated this sudden rise in golf cart purchases, especially for those who don’t even golf.

Low-Speed Vehicle, High-Speed Summer

There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to golf carts. Gone are the days of a small buggy puttering around the course. Golf carts today are vehicles in their own right, with some, like the E-Z-GO Liberty LSV, being street legal. Golf carts, like the one from E-Z-GO, can be outfitted with accessories and luxuries you may expect to see in a traditional vehicle, including a state-of-the-art infotainment system and industry-leading technology in safety features including backup camera, operator protective structure, pedestrian warning system and seatbelts. These street-legal golf carts are perfect for quick trips around town or the neighborhood, allowing you to get groceries and drop the kids off at school without loading everyone in and out of the car. Everyone’s favorite mom Shannon Crittenden-Mann loves driving around the neighborhood in her golf cart with family.

No Mean, All Green

In a world where sustainability is a top priority, golf carts have become more reliable and cost-effective options for those trying to make the world a little greener. With 95% less harmful waste compared to a traditional lead-acid battery, E-Z-GO’s ELiTE™ lithium vehicles, powered by Samsung SDI battery technology, offer a more economically friendly alternative for those looking to make the switch to an electric vehicle. Plus, zero emissions or maintenance, top-tier efficiency and the peace of mind that comes with an 8-year battery warranty make owning an electric golf cart a smart and sustainable vehicle option. This makes it easy for golf pros and enthusiasts like Schyler Horne to do their part, while still loving the game.

Easy-Peasy Accessibility

Golf carts are not only fun to drive and ride around in, but they also make getting around easier and more efficient. Their compact size and maneuverability make them ideal for transporting people and goods over short distances or making the walk from hole to hole just a little shorter.

There is no better or easier time than now to treat yourself like your favorite celebrity with your very own golf cart from E-Z-GO, the leading designer and manufacturer of golf carts and utility vehicles.
