Question golfcart security

Please correct me if I am wrong, but all golf cart keys are the same. How does one secure the vehicle? I know there is a tow switch under the seat, which is basically a cutoff switch for the golf cart, but anyone can open the sit and flip it back to run? What do people do? I understand, that is someone want your cart they will get it, but how do you deter joyriders and alike?

You could interrupt the signal to the solenoid with one of the many wireless key-fob remotes available on ebay.

You can also buy a uniquely keyed switch from shopezgo.com, but they aren't cheap. Plug and play. Others have bought key switches for motorcycles. Whatever you get should be outdoor rated.

Ezgo thinks a lot of their unique key switch price wise - you can get a generic automotive key switch and a light switch for a lot less $

I looked on IZGO, they have a switch for $31. Is it too much?


btw: Is there a way to install a lock on the front seat?

I bought a 3 position uniquely keyed switch, but I thought it was more? Maybe you just need a 2 position.

Still a lot of money.

You'll have to search the site, but I've seen at least one on here.

I remember the unique key switch being around $100 ?

We have seat lock in R&D soon to come out for sale.
Watch the announcements in the coming weeks
