I saw this on the back of a golf cart? If it’s an A/C unit then the cart’s battery won’t last long unless the cart has some kind of enhanced aftermarket alternator. The cart accelerated very slow, but eventually reached about 20 MPH. Interesting?

I saw that a year or so ago and had the same thoughts. Even on the hottest day I don't think I'd want that blowing on me.

No idea what it is, but it blocks all rearview out of the cart as I do not see any side mirrors, seems very dangerous.

I've actually seen a couple of golf carts with a window a/c mounted on them here in the villages. I would assume they have some power converter or something to make it run.

Adding something like this to a golf cart can only be due to a medical or mental condition.😁

We bought a 2022 cart from an individual. This cart had every gadget made that year. Mounted in the ceiling is a unit that has 3 settings to blow air. Blends in with inside roof, doesn’t take away any head room, not visible from outside.

So in the winter it blows great cool air, and the summer warm air. I don’t know the cost but what a waste of money.

I see a side mirror on the drivers side. However, it is blocked by the side curtain. I agree very dangerous.

Looks like a small swamp cooler.
