95 EZGO Medalist Limo Build - Rookie
I just purchased a 95 EZGO Medalist that has been stretched. I want to do a complete rebuild. I have seen many helpful posts, so I thought I would join. Here are my plans, and would appreciate any comments or recommendations.
Upgrade to 48 volts, what is needed? New motor that will have torque and get me to 25 mph New center pod and seat, I think I saw one that was a cooler! Rear flip seat Lift kit 6"? Spindle or long travel tire and rim size Light kit, is a light bar my only option? Low voltage converter Stereo I will apologize in advance if I have broken any rules or not used the correct etiquette, this is my first forum. Thanks |

Re: 95 EZGO Medalist Limo Build - Rookie
Welcome aboard. A torque motor and 25 mph will not be possible without a big amp controller, HD solenoid, and a minimum of 4 ga wiring. You will most likely want a HD F/R switch too. As far as the lift goes...not really my thing. I put 10" wheels and 205/65-10 loadstar trailer tires on all four of my carts. Along with a HD rear springs and coil-over front shocks mine end up about 12" off the ground. A seat pod is available from RCC cart parts. I would highly recommend that you replace the brake shoes with disc. Don't waste time and money on the "cable" style disc brake setup. I have put hydraulic disc on all of my carts, 2-Ezgo & 2-Club Car, and will never go back. The best that I can find are at www.wheelsca.com and they are great people to work with. Be warned though, their installation instructions are not very helpful but the product is top notch. If you dig a big you can find head light kits that are cowling mounted instead of a light bar.
Take a look at our sponsers for any additional parts you may need. Hope this helps and good luck with your project |

Welcome to BGW Reefbreak
can you tell us what drive system you have, every important on this year, do you have a TOW/RUN switch on the controller cover under the seat, on the passenger side of the cart |

Re: 95 EZGO Medalist Limo Build - Rookie
I have what I believe is a series drive system. It does not have a speed control coming out of it.

Not sure what you mean, look at the diagram and figure out which one it is

Re: 95 EZGO Medalist Limo Build - Rookie
No there is not a tow run switch on it. Yes to the other reply, the FnR is in the middle of the front seat and it is a lever. The actual control is under the front pod.
Since my first post, I began the tear down. I would post some pictures if someone can explain how. I have also bought an OEM center pod, so now I will need all of the seat brackets, backs, seats, etc. Hate to buy stuff that is upholstered just to have it redone. I also need to by a flip down back seat, and a flip down tinted DOT approved from window. Finally, do they make an electronic FnR switch? Something instead of the lever. Thanks, Reefbreak |

Re: 95 EZGO Medalist Limo Build - Rookie
definitely a series drive. sorry about the confusion. DD Motors shows speed control wire coming out of the motor if it is not a series.
I like the FnR switch for the Sepex. Can you use that on a series? |
