Golf Carts in Delaware

EzGo recently received reports that the hip restraints on a small number of RXV golf cars have fractured. The safety of E-Z-GO’s customers and their guests is the Company’s top priority. Therefore, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the hip restraints on all RXV vehicles are being replaced. The replacement hip restraints are identical in strength and materials to those used without incident for years on the E-Z-GO TXT golf car.

Unfortunately, there have been reports of a few minor injuries resulting from a hip restraint breaking. While we believe it is safe to continue to operate your vehicle, we want to take every precaution in ensuring the safety and comfort of you and your passengers. When entering and exiting the golf car, please use caution and DO NOT LEAN on the hip restraint, as it may fracture if excessive force is applied and the rider could fall from the vehicle. Please use the safety handle located on the vehicle top for additional support while entering, exiting, turning or stopping the golf car. Read the rest of this entry »

Safety is the common threat among these carts no matter what they are called. The critical part of safety is the fact that anyone can operate these electric carts without much training and there-in lies the problem. They’re too easy to operate so many drivers just don’t pay much attention to safety. They just hop on and off they go.

This short program is designed to outline some of the safety responsibilities and provide information about golf cart safety. Certainly you are interested in the industrial applications of the golf cart, but we are going to throw in some golf course safety as well, for those golfers and the maintenance persons who operate golf carts in their routine jobs.
