Look to install LED white and Amber switchback directionals on the front of your cart. These strips have daytime bright white running lights and when you use your turn signal the Amber will flash. The carts standard turn siginal are hard to see by others because they are very small. The LED strips are around14 in long and mounted under the headlight or over them.

Compare carts The Villages sells with:
-Grandma & Grandpa's Village Buggies (owner is a Villager)
-Carts and Clubs in Ocala (Yamaha Dealer/**I have 2 of their carts)
Just Google their names for the websites.
Happy shopping!

No one mentioned a speedometer. Especially if you have a cart that goes over 20mph. Also a speedometer also has an odometer which is kind of nice to have to see how many miles you have driven.

Now I do not drive a long distance with a turn signal on.

We have self canceling turn signals...a little more money but worth it.

I put 10 ply tires on mine, for road use, got tired of going through a set of tires every winter. Horn, digital amp gauge, large review view mirror, clicker on turn signal, quality headlights so you can see at night, hopped up motor, and locking glove box.

Why a hopped up motor? Are you one that has to exceed the 19.9 MPH golf cart speed? If so, SLOW DOWN!!!!:ohdear::ohdear:

Front window screen. There is a Villager named Tom and he installs front window screen. Great for love bug season and when it gets hot.

If you need Tom's number pm me and I will look it up.

Nice seat a must. I added a one piece windshield for better visibility.

Comfortable seating--not cheap but can change a miserable 30 min ordeal into a pleasant ride.:coolsmiley:

Extended tail pipe so the fumes don't bother you or your passengers.

I had a one piece windshield and there is better visibility but it gets hot on the golf course or on the cart path if you can't fold the windshield down.

Suite seats especially if u have any back issues. The best thing we purchased.

If you exceed 20 MPH and have an "incident" your insurance company can deny you coverage. I was told that one of the first things they check is see what speed the cart is set to. That's done with software these days. You can buy a street legal cart which will let you go faster but the cart manufactures put a premium price on them and they must be registered. If you run them on the intermodal paths they must be 20MPH. As with most things, it's all about the risk you want to assume. Make sure you have uninsured motorist coverage, l folks are driving around without insurance here.

Look at electric and there are no fumes, especially in your garage.
