My EZGO wont stop

[RogerB123]

I just bought an EZGO and it has a lift and big tires. I cannot get it to brake well at all....Are the brakes bad , need adjusting or is this a result of the big wheels?
Also I was told it was a 2006 and refurbished in 2009 so if I need to order parts do I order 2006 parts or 2009? I am not even sure what gets refurbished when they get refurbished. Any help on any of these questions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Ezgo brakes are notoriously ineffective. Big tires do make it worse. All you can do is make sure the shoes & drums are in good shape & clean and properly adjusted.

There is an id tag in the passenger glove box. The last 2 digits of the manufacture code will tell the year the cart was produced.
Everybody's refurbs are a little different. Some do more than others when it comes to replacing brake cables and brakes or ignition switches and whatnot.... others just fix what's broken, slap some paint on em and call it good ......There is no standard, a refurb is as good as the Co. that did it

if its lifted and has bigger tires theres a good possibility its in the brake cables ..............................................
