4 Eye-Popping Golf Cart Modifications

Golf carts have quickly become one of the preferred modes of transportation in recent years. It has largely to do with their versatility, and, of course, no gas needed, at least for the electric carts most people prefer. They can be transformed into hunting buggies, ATV off-roaders, and even snow plows. As long as you make them street legal, they can be driven around neighborhoods, and some are even capable of reaching speeds as high as 45 mph. So, it’s no surprise that their popularity is only growing. It seems they can do just as much as or even more than cars, in some cases.

What’s even better? You can design or have them designed to look any way you want, from classic 1932 Hi-Boy Electric Roadster to a modern Hummer H2, and everything in between. You can basically own your dream car, in cart form, giving you a much smaller price tag, and allowing you the chance to say goodbye to gas prices that never seem to lower. As the proverbial cherry on top, you’ll have a head-turning golf cart that will have everybody talking.

Gas Guzzler No More: The Hummer H2 Golf Cart

This golf cart design is extremely intricate, and the majority of the work needs to be done by professionals; you can, however, spruce it up yourself by adding your own custom chrome wheels and tires.

It has a 3.75-5.5 HP electric motor, 450-amp controller, Burlwood or carbon fiber dash, a tinted split wind shield, and embroidered H2 upholstery. It features H2 logos on the sides and rear, side rails, painted front grille, a custom floor kit, and cooler box under the hood, along with other design features you’d typically find on a traditional Hummer H2.

It will cost you considerably more than a traditional golf cart, but sizably less than the real deal, with a price point of just under $20,000. This luxury cart is for serious cart enthusiasts who love the Hummer look.

Going Classic: The 1939 Hot Rod Roadster

These carts are built to order; you can specialize your design when it comes to the upholstery, floor, paint, wheels, and interior options such as CD players and coolers. Their framework looks exactly like the real thing and feature 17.5 HP, 14” alloy wheels, with 17” custom chrome wheel options, brake and turn signals, and everything else your cart needs to be street legal.

You can get one of these coastline cruisers for just $11,000, but keep in mind the more custom upgrades you make, the higher the price goes. If you want to be old school cool, a 1939 Hot Rod Roadster is the coolest cart in the neighborhood.

Come One, Come All: The Electric Super Shuttle

Who says a golf cart can only seat four? A custom cart can be designed to fit anywhere from 8-14 people. For those of you who have a large family, a ton of friends, or perhaps just travel with a lot of baggage, a super shuttle cart is a must have. They can be designed as modern transit buses, tour buses, or just extended carts: The choice is yours.

Get them in sleek blue or vibrant yellow, with custom paint, upholstery, floor kits, and more. You can travel up to 25 miles at a maximum speed of 24 mph, and choose from a wide range of optional parts such as cargo boxes, caddy coolers, PA systems, sunshade curtains, weather enclosures, and much more. This state-of-the-art-cart ensures no man gets left behind.

Sound the Alarms: Novelty Carts Are Here

Have you ever wanted to get behind the wheel of a fire truck, police car, an ambulance, or any other vehicle that usually requires authorized personnel only? Well, now you can, sort of, by designing your own novelty golf cart.

Companies like Street Rod Productions create these little gems, and the framework is just the tip of the iceberg. Their antique fire truck is also fitted with a siren, stainless steel rungs and mounting hardware, four red emergency lights, two oak ladders, and two 10” Maltese Crosses that can be personalized to your city, county, or state.

It’s also equipped with a working hood with a cooler compartment, under seat storage tray, CD player, a hand-sewn retractable ragtop, rear jump seat, and so much more. With your own custom novelty cart, you could be putting out fires all over town, metaphorically speaking.

These four eye-popping golf carts are just a few of the design models out there. You can transform your cart into a limo, semi-truck, airplane – the list is endless. All you have to do is dream it up, and it can be created.
