Thinking of going to the Dark Side. Limo Cart

[bbbdale]

Got my eye on a 48v EZGO Limo Shuttle.

Never owned one or even driven one. Anything I should know when looking it over pre-purchase?

It should only get used on paved streets in the hood.

Nice looking cart!

I'd check the frame for rust, not just the battery tray which does often rust out due to the acidic vapors from the batteries.

I'd check how it runs and drives, just see if there's any odd noises or vibrations that seem abnormal. It's not going to be as smooth as a car but it should behave similarly to any regular length cart in regards to how it sounds or feels.

Normally you should assume the batteries need replacing when considering a used cart.

The tires look like they are probably the high pressure type. But check to see if they are low pressure tires. On that limo you'll likely want the pressure to be 18 to 22psi, depending on what feel you like. but if the tires are limited to 12psi (lawn mower/atv tires) then you will have performance issues.

The front end has probably never been greased, so there is likely to be some play. So I wouldn't consider that a deal breaker but you may use it as a negotiation point if you think it's the steering box.
