Ezgo RXV emergency towing

rlewis123 · 08-11-2014, 08:39 AM

There are several of us with 2009 or later RXV carts and we need to come up with a way to tow these if they break down. Indeed all of them have at some point croaked on us and have needed to be towed out of an area that is secluded and not reachable by any vehicle but another cart.

What type of temporary towbar do we need to be able to handle these emergency towing situations?

And hopefully it is not so dead you can't put it in tow mode

Maybe you should carry a torx bit to remove the motor cover and a 10 mm wrench to remove the brake.

I need info on a hardware towing solution. Tow straps would not work. The hilly terrain would mean you would need a cart in front to tow the car and one in back to hold it back on downgrades. This is a dangerous steep area which is supposedly the highest and steepest golf tee in CA. We already had someone try to descend an area at night with no brakes and it was very dangerous.

We are looking at this towbar put can't find a dealer that has it.

The vid says "...offered by EZ-GO". Maybe call shopezgo.com.
