EZGO Serial Numbers

    EZGO golf carts have serial numbers that can be more difficult to read. EZGO has changed its serial number coding process over the years and has also had a few years of model crossover. Using the serial number/manufacturing code is often an unreliable way of determining your make and model.

You can always send us a few photos of your EZGO so we can use the body to help you determine which you have.

The last two digits of the manufacturer's code will tell you the year your cart was produced. If the cart was produced between 1976 and 1978 it will be the first two numbers.
