Getting away from the resistor coils is a good idea. So is staying away from the DCS carts. THey only made them for a couople of yrs. 97-98. PDS and Series ( or Fleet as they are sometimes called ) are your best bet.....
Here is how to tell the yr and the type you are looking at......Good luck

The last 2 numbers of the manufactures code is the year, located inside the passenger side glove box, the 2004 and newer ezgos dont have a serial number plate in the box, they have a serial number sticker under the rear access panel behind the seat, and then on the driverside frame rail below the floor board, stay away from 97-98 DCS carts, there is a a reason they only built them for a short time,

DCS will have a F&R lever behind the driver's knee and a run/tow switch on the enviromental cover on the controller. The backside of the f&R looks round like a hockey puck.

PDS carts will have a Tow/Run switch with toggle switch for F&R on the dash

SERIES carts will have a shift lever like the dcs cart down by your legs, but it will NOT have a tow/run switch. Also the actual F&R switch is in the corner by the controller and there is linkage from it to the lever in the center.....

Non-DCS is stupid but it means just that in the years they made DCS everything else (meaning the fleet series carts) Were .... you guessed it, non-dcs

Sooo... I have a 92 EZGO Freedom that doesn't seem to match any of the above. It has no tow/run switch. The F/R lever is behind your knee and goes directly to the shaft of the switch with no linkage. And the test procedures given in the Intro forum don't seem to match either. What have I got? Non DCS?

92 is a Marathon. Could be controller or resistor coil speed control. Series wound motor in either.
