2004 ds

[mrp116]

Hello, new member, first time poster.

I'm going to be picking up a 2004 DS 48v this weekend with the serial number starting with AQ. It seems to run well; my wife drove it all weekend last weekend (purchasing from a family member). We know we need a few things right away.

First, we are going to replace the tires and rims. Is it okay to purchase the generic tire/rim combo from Amazon, or should we look for something else?

Second, we need a back seat kit. Any suggestions for that?

Third, we are going to replace the windshield, as the current one is cracked. Again, any suggestions?

Lastly, anything in general I/we should be looking for? This is our first cart and we know nothing. The owner says the current batteries have been tested (if possible) and are at 75% of their life cycle.

Thanks

. . . first of all to BGW . . .

1. Tires/rims - many combos, many sources . . shop within your budget . .

2. Back seat - same as #1 - I purchased mine from Trademark Carts . . nice seat kit . . relatively easy install . . 2 years old and holding up well . .

3. Windshield - same as #1 - I have no suggestions for a source as I have not had to replace mine . . someone here will be able to give advice on that though . .

4. Current owner is a family member, and if you can't trust them, who can you trust?


. . . good luck and most of all, have fun . . .
