Thank you! The Star carts look quite impressive. I'm leaning towards an electric Club Car only because we are not in the Villages, but in The Plantation...and there is a Club car serviceperson here locally and because of that 95% of the carts down here are Club cars.
I did see a Club Car at one of our pools the other day that DID have a nice folding rear seat with a folding foot rest. When folded it only added an inch if that. I took plenty of pictures with my iphone. It was sold by a place called D & C carts from up by the markets of marion I believe.....although I could not find them online. Anyway, now I KNOW this rear seat DOES exist.....I just have to find out where I can get one... Thanks! Frank

No I did not...but I've seen more of them around. I think my neighbor has one on his Club Car and he told me he bought it at Nobles....he told me it was around $500.00 I do not know if that included beefing up the rear shocks, etc.
It's just something I'm keeping my eye out for.... Respectfully, Frank D.

Check out frugaldougalsgolf dot com and go to folding seats I called up Frugal Dougals and spoke to Peter and he spoke highly of this kit. He just posted this listing on his website today after I inquired about it. He has it on his own cart. Give him a call. Nice guy to talk to. |

A neighbor purchased a new EZ-Go RXV golf cart from AGC (Advantage Golf Cars) on CR 101. They paid approx. $700 for the folding rear-seat option, which they love. So I'd give them a call. Not sure if EZ-Go offers the folding rear seat or if it was an aftermarket option installed by AGC (352) 259-8566.

I bought a 2 seater Yamaha about 4 years ago and wanted to add the flip-down seat for the occassional need for a 4 seater with guest might stay for a day or two. I asked The Villages golf cart store and they gave me a business card for AAA Golf Carts who make a flip-down seat for them. I had Larry Newman of AAA Golf Carts (352-572-3090) install mine and I am REALLY happy.
Since the rear seat wasn't going to be used very often, I felt I could keep the cart's original hard top. They added brake lights to the flip-up foot plate so the brake and turn signal lights are very visible when the boot plate isn't being used. Also, they match the fabric and pattern on the front seats perfectly so it doesn't look like an add-on. If you are interested in adding the flip-down seat call him. It wasn't cheap, amost a $1000, but it allows me to take 4 to the pool or restaurant when people 'drop in'. |

Just got my rear seat filing kit as shown above (made by JH Global). There are 2 versions made by them. One made in USA and one made in China. Made in USA one is about $100 more, but is made if heavier gauge steel and the seat stitching is much nicer. I'll post up some pics once I get it installed. Very nice quality kit. Turns the bag well into a nice storage trunk area when the footrest is folded up. But the biggie is that the cart is just a hair longer than 2 seater with foot rest up and I don't have to worry about wife/kids/myself banging a shin on the foot rest when folded down.
