Upgrades You Should Make For Your Golf Cart

Golf cart owners know that a customized ride is more than just a luxury on the golf course; it’s a statement of personal style. Here are some of the top upgrades you should make for your golf cart to take it from dull to dashing and boost its efficiency.

Boost Performance With Engine and Battery Upgrades

A golf cart’s performance depends heavily on its engine and battery setup. Replacing the standard engine with a more powerful one enables you to zip around the course with ease. Choose an engine with higher horsepower or more torque to enjoy increased speed and pulling power.

Similarly, upgrading to a more powerful and efficient battery can enhance your golf cart’s performance. The latest battery technologies, such as lithium-ion, promise longer lifespans and better charge retention, ensuring your cart stays powered through all 18 holes or long rides around the community.

Make Your Golf Cart Street-Legal

Another key aspect of upgrading your golf cart involves making it street-legal. Being able to use your cart on public roads opens up a world of convenience and functionality. Several upgrades are needed to make a golf cart street-legal, such as:

  • Installing proper headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals
  • Fitting a windshield, mirrors, and seatbelts
  • Adding a horn and speedometer
  • Ensuring your cart meets the minimum speed limit

After making the necessary safety upgrades, you may need to refer to several tips for making your golf cart street-legal. Once complete the necessary alterations, you can proudly display your legal status with a special license plate.

Enhance Storage and Comfort

One of the most practical upgrades you should make for your golf cart is enhancing storage and overall user comfort. Extra storage and equipment racks are among the top features to look for in an outdoor cart, especially if you will use the cart for hunting or camping. Many golfers and community cart enthusiasts appreciate added storage for their gear. Popular alterations include:

  • Installing a golf bag holder or a larger bag well
  • Fitting a cooler to keep drinks and snacks fresh
  • Adding a rear cargo box or covered trunk
  • Mounting hooks or a cargo net for clipping on everyday items

Comfort upgrades may include replacing basic bench seats with custom cushioned seating, adding weatherproof covers, and installing a sunshade to protect passengers from the elements.

Show Your Style With Custom Aesthetics

Adding a personal touch to your golf cart is another way to make a statement on the green. Custom paint jobs, decals, and vinyl wraps allow you to express yourself creatively. Other aesthetic upgrades include:

  • Custom wheel rims and low-profile tires
  • LED light kits for both aesthetics and safety
  • A stylish dashboard and console
  • Floor mats or floor coverings that reflect your personal tastes

These upgrades not only make your cart more visually appealing but also enhance its overall value.
