A Brief History of E-Z-GO Golf Carts The E-Z-GO company was started on June 13th 1954 in a garage in Augusta Georgia by two brothers, Billy and Beverly "Bev" Dolan. This was the day after Bev had gotten out of the military. The very first golf carts they built used military surplus 24 volt motors which originally operated the wing flaps on the B-17. They ran these motors on a 36 volt battery stack. Once they got started they moved the production to Grovetown Georgia to have them assembled at a machine shop owned by Paul Corley. See the History of Pargo for an interesting side light to this story. In 1961 they sold their company to Textron. They both stayed on board until 1978 when Billy Dolan left with some other employees and investors to purchase Club Car which at that time was located in Texas. They later moved the company to Augusta Georgia where it remains to this day. All of the golf carts produced ran on batteries until 1971 when they introduced a 175 cc two cycle version. They used this four bolt head Robin engine until 1975. In 1976 they came out with 244 cc two stroke that they used until 1988. In 1989 until 1993 they used the 3PG two stroke. In 1991 they came out with their first four stroke engine , a 295 cc, 9 hp one which was replaced by a 350 cc four cycle in 1996. In 1997 Textron bought out Cushman and continues to manuafacture Cushman industrial vehicles as well as their E-Z-GO line of golf carts and industrial vehicles. . |
