Why should I do business with Edd's Golf Carts?

When you enter our world of golf carts, you will be treated fairly and all of your questions will be answered in a straight forward manner.

Edd's Golf Carts sales and service team stand ready to support you long after your car is delivered.

Should I buy gas or electric?
Either cart will meet your needs for your particular golf course. The electric motors that we offer have enough power and torque to navigate any terrain. It has been our experience that most of our customers prefer electric carts.

Why do so many want electric over gas?
The number one reason is that the electric car is smoother and quieter. Also, there are no gas fumes, there is less maintenance, they really can be faster, and last but not least... they're less money!

What is the range of an electric cart?
With a 48 volt system, our carts have a range of over 40 miles on a single charge. Your typical round of golf is approximately 5 miles. You have plenty of power to play golf in the morning and sneak out later for another round of golf that evening. You may be out of energy, but your golf car will still be going strong.

How often should I charge my cart?
If you have used your cart during the day, you should put the cart on charge that evening. If you drive 2 miles or 20 miles you will want to charge your cart. Just wait until the end of the day, and when you're finished with the cart, simply plug it in. Your cart will charge during the night and be ready to go first thing in the morning.

What about leaving the charger plugged in?
You can leave the charger plugged in until it kicks off. However, there are some things you need to consider. First of all, don’t tempt fate by leaving your charger plugged in during a lightning storm.
We recommend purchasing, using and monitoring a very good surge suppressor.
Another consideration is the length of time you will leave the charge plugged in. If you are going out of town for a while, you will likely want to unplug the charger.

Who cares if my batteries are dirty – no one sees them but me?
Batteries in your golf cart are connected in a series, one to another, by cables. In order to get the best performance from your cart (that is, all 36- or 48-volts) you need to have good connections across each battery.
Anytime you have dirt, grass or residual battery acid on your batteries, you have the potential for these to collect in areas where cables need to have good contact with terminals. That’s bad. On the other hand, dirt and corrosion could also provide a path for current to flow, thereby allowing the batteries to self discharge. Either way, it’s not good.
Wash your battery tops every week or so (more frequently if needed). Corrosion damage caused by poor maintenance is a major factor in cart failure. A little water under the seat won’t hurt other components of your cart, but don’t shoot water straight at electrical components. And be sure all battery caps are on tightly.

What is the best way to clean my cart?
Wash your cart with a professional auto wash liquid and a very soft clean sponge. Do not use dishwashing detergent, laundry soaps, or other cleansers not designed for automotive finishes.
Waxing your cart is a good idea from time to time. There are plenty of choices but be sure not to choose a wax that has abrasive compounds. Only use a very soft, clean T-shirt type fabric to avoid scratching.
Clean your windshield using products designed for use with Plexiglas. "Plexus" is a good one. Use the softest terry cloth available.
Plastics can be renewed using Tire Wax. But do not use this on the rubber mat. Instead use Future floor wax to provide a sheen with a little bit of tack. This prevents your slipping as you get in and out of the car. Also, don’t use the Tire Wax on the steering wheel. It will make it slippery to steer.
Seats can be cleaned with a diluted solution of cleaner. In some cases we have used lacquer thinner (sparingly!) to remove stubborn stains.
