Seat extension?
 
Hi everyone, I"m looking for ideas to somehow adjust the seat or extend it somehow on a 2019 yamaha. My girlfriend is a small girl and has a hard time with reaching the gas/brake pedals comfortably.
Any ideas would be appreciated!

My wife has the same problem. We talked about pedal extenders but found that a cushion from one of our lanai chairs and placed behind her back solved the problem perfectly. And very cheaply.

My wife and MIL both use a small pillow.

I third the pillow/cushion idea. If the first ones you try don't work out, try some other sizes shapes, one might be exactly what you need.

I have seen adjustable seats BUT these seem to be mounted HIGHER which would probably defeat what you need. You could try going to some of the local golf cart stores and see what they might have to offer, or possibly look online, but you will not be able to test fits these.

I should have added the ones I have seen that slide forward are on tracks that cause the seats to be higher, and in some cases this restricts access to the engine area. This makes battery maintenance interesting, as well as refueling.

I have the same problem. I'm only 5'2" and noticed my first year here, that I was having horrible hip problems that got worse after a golf cart drive.

I still have hip problems but no longer have the pain after a ride in the cart. My solution: a $30 lumbar support pillow from Staples.

Access Denied

Pretty sure you can get similar on Amazon for less, but Staples usually has those in the store if you want to check them out. They're on the end-cap in the far rear corner of the store, near the floor mats.

I purchased a foot pedal extension. It works awesome! I bought it from a guy who makes them from wood. It’s not permanent and can be taken off and on if needed.
Sorry I couldn’t find his number. As I bought it in 2016. Ask at the original wood shop. I think that’s where he made them.

Ask the grandkids driving Paw Paw and Maw Maw carts what they use !

When I bought my Cart from The Villages Golf Carts, they included a black plastic pedal extension, which will snap off when my boyfriend drives the cart. Maybe they sell them? Works like a charm!

Yes and they do have the plastic extenders for sale at the cart repair/gas stop in Lake Sumter Landing. I zip tied one onto the gas pedal and problem solved. But pricey!

Yup. $50 three years ago. Price pretty high for what you get. I zip tied ours onto the pedal to make it more secure.

Trade the girlfriend in on one with longer legs.

I got the pedal extender for myself at the golf store in Brownwood. Easy to put on and take off for you. Works great. My cushion would fall out occasionally.

I understand that there is a foot pedal extension available. Not sure who sells them but you might check with the golf cart stores.
