Re: Star golf Cart parts and info
dougmcp, I thought Puerto Rico was part of the U.S. But not to split hairs: The Big Three: E-Z-GO, Club Car and Yamaha are all maunufactured in Georgia. The Dana Electric rear ends are or were manufactured in the U.S. while the Gas rear ends were imported. Essness, if you ask for a COM (Certificate of Manufacture or Origin ) you will see that your Workhorse was built in Augusta, Georgia. Can anyone on this board let us know where the Star Car and Fairplays are assembled? And doupmcp I agree that the quality of an E-Z-GO, Club Car or even Yamaha are far superior to the Chinese knock offs.

Re: Star golf Cart parts and info
Thanks Dougmcp, that's what I was trying to get across to everyone here. Just like I had posted before, only 30% are made in the US. All of the world wide parts are assembled in the US on the carts in Georgia.
I just ordered 24 carts from overseas and will be receiving them in about 5 weeks from now. I will post what these carts have as far as parts and name brands. The bodies on the carts are the EZGO looking bodies and look identical as the EZGOs. These carts will be sold wholesale. |

Re: Star golf Cart parts and info
Superduty, I hate to argue the point, but you are misrepresenting the information. 30% of the parts ( including the chassis ) are manufactured by E-Z-GO in their Augusta facility. Many of the remaining 70% of the parts are built in the USA. E-Z-GO bodies are made in the US, the tires are made in the US , etc. The Star car is no more interchangeable with the E-Z-GO on a quality level than the old Polish built Melex's were. Even though I am an E-Z-GO guy, I would rather see someone buy a Club Car than a Star want-a-be golf car. Nulf said!

Re: Star golf Cart parts and info
Maybe EZgo sold them some parts (the body) to build the overseas carts. I mean we buy parts from them all the time, couldnt it work in reverse order also.

The new RXV is completely different, the majority of the car is out sourced from most continents around the world and assembled in Augusta. Hense why its so expensive. The Star is sold in many parts of Europe under many different names, The Ryder, Babbiyacar, E2GO and many many more names. The Star is a copy of the old Mark 2 TXT with a cheap curtis controller, Trogan battery copies (in some cases), cheap plastic body and roof. When China actually stop copying other nations designs and comply with copyright laws, we'll see how cheep their products are then. If you recall, the Japaniese did the same thing in the 50's, 60's and early 70's. |
