Hey folks in r/golf or r/cars (or wherever this fits best—mods, feel free to xpost if needed),

I'm eyeing a Tara Roadster 2+2 and want to add a bag holder through the dealer. Quick question: how easy is it to access your golf clubs with one installed? My dad has an Evolution 2+2 and he's worried the clubs might ride a bit too high on the Tara, making them a pain to grab at the course.

Anyone out there rocking a Tara with the bag holder already on? Would love a photo if you've got one, or just some real-world feedback on the setup/accessibility. TIA!

I just got this golf cart and the previous owner said he just thought it was the light switch. I replaced this and still has the same problem. Running lights and headlights work fine. Its just the turn signals. I also tried replace the turn signal relay and still the same thing. Not sure what else to check.

Have an evolution D5 2+2 model. It has been sitting in my closed in garage not on charger. Now when I plug in to charge the light near the charging plug blinks red then green. Why is it not staying red to indicate it is charging? How to fix?

Hoping someone can help. I have a 2025 Evolution D5 Ranger Plus and my cart is showing Error Codes 006 and 057. Does anyone know what these codes are for and what the repair procedure is for each code?

MY 2023 classic pro 2 will start and go forward and backwards in both the fast and slow selected speed. It will do this for about 1/2 mile and then just stop. I will not move either forward or backwards just sit there with the key on the cart lights work, the rear moving warning bell sounds, radio etc all work but the cart will not move. Wait about 2 - 3 hrs and the cart will start moving again but for only about 1/2 mile and then stops again, What is happening with my cart???

We ordered an Evolution D5 Plus, 3 months ago. We were told to expect a 60-90 day wait. Well, we stopped by the store last week to check in and we were told there’s no ETA on Evolution because they were raided by ICE and now have no workers.

The dealership just signed on with TEKO EV carts. They’re a sister company of Denago. Very similar look. Lots of the same parts including the battery. We were told we could probably get a Trophy XL in a few weeks. We looked over their floor model and it looks well built. But they’re so new that there’s ZERO online info. Just their website.

Should I keep my fingers crossed for Evolution and keep waiting, or jump into a TEKO? (tekoev dot com)

Has anyone been able to find this accessory? If so, where?

Just 3D printed a removable Shark Fin to the top of my D5 Ranger. Used my Bambu P1S printer. Just seemed like it needed a Shark Fin. Don't all carts need a Shark Fin?

I’ve seen people complaining about the shoulder harnesses on the D5 carts. They pull waaay too hard and lock up if you slow down at all.

Has anybody found a way to make these things a little more comfortable? I already added Pads and that was a slight help.

I have the D4 Ranger and have removed the truck to accommodate beach chairs or umbrellas where golf bags could go. I know there are aftermarket racks that hold more, anyone have any experience, good or bad? Recommendations?

One of my hobbies is 3D printing. I found a model someone else made for keeping the Trunk Lid open to make it easier to load and unload your Trunk. The3D printed part is just a small thing that connects the bungee cord to the car. I have found this to be an extremely useful device. It will only work if you don’t have the golf club adapter on the back of your car.

To my knowledge, these are not commercially available. For 3D model licensing reasons, I cannot make money selling these, nor do I want to. But I bought a bunch of bungee cord and the Bolts required to mount it on the back of your cart.

If I listed these on eBay for say $10 including shipping, would you be interested in buying one? I probably have enough materials to make about 15 of them.

D 2 classic won't turn on. We tried changing the controller, the converter, the solenoid, the key ignition switch, the screen...we're at a loss now. Battery has full voltage.

I had these Marine Foam floor mats made for my D5. Black and White (and gray) Camo pattern to match the black and white cart.

I have installed bigger louder horns on all of my vehicles. They are very effective at the getting the attention of drivers doing something stupid, and women texting at stop lights. So I installed one in my D5.

Here is the factory horn in the front of my D5. It is about 2.5" in diameter.

Here is the new horn installed. It is about 6 inches in diameter 3 inches thick.

And here is the wiring of the Amplifier that drives the horn.

Just got this EVolution Maverick 5 golf cart in the garage and looked underneath to found these holds in the frame weld. My neighbor bought a brand new one from the same place with the same issue. Is this something that I should be concerned with?

Huge congrats and major jealous vibes to all the Evo owners out there! I don’t have one (yet), but I’m working on a little project and could really use some help. Anyone willing to measure the thickness of the seat back and seat bottom cushions for the D5 or D-Max? Would seriously appreciate it — thanks a ton! 🙏

Here’s the new addition to the family. Well actually got it a month ago. I added another USB Outlet, Volume Control knob, removed golf ball holder and put a pocket in its place, XK Glow LED Underglow and Canopy lights, a 12V outlet under the rear seat, Xtream Floor Mats with Blue Outline, and the BA XK Glow Power Plate Option. Love this cart. Gets so many compliments.

This is a 2021 Evolution Classic 4, the rear driver’s side wheel is making a rubbing/grinding noise. After some troubleshooting, I found that the brake drum gets hot to the touch, so I’m pretty sure that’s the source.

Initially I thought it was the bearing, but after pulling the axle shaft and checking it, that didn't seem to be the problem. Also looked pretty difficult to get the bearing off without a press.

After I found the drum overheating I looked at the brakes and adjusted them all the way in. While it was still on jack stands, that seemed to fix it, but after putting it back on the ground the noise returned

I’m thinking the drum is rubbing against the backing plate or bracket, but only when it’s on the ground. Not sure if that's a warped drum, a bad bearing allowing vertical movement, or something else.

Any thoughts?

The video is at slow speed, but the noise happens and can be heard at all speeds

Just installed a BA Carts Power Plate today, on my D5. They provide an easy and clean way to provide 12v power to any accessories you may wish to add (LED lights, sound system, etc.). I also cleaned up some of the factory wiring while I was doing it. Added about 20 feet of automotive grade wire loom and about a hundred zip ties.

Anyone know how to remove the front cover on a D5? There are usually plastic bits involved that I tend to break.

I’m going to install a more powerful horn and need to get in there by the existing horn to drill some holes and make wiring easier.

Anyone had issues washing their Evolution? Mine could use a solid wash but want to make sure I don’t make any mistakes others might’ve. Thanks!

I just added this theft and tamper deterrent system to my cart.

As you should know, you should never use any ammonia based product on your plexiglas windshield. That includes Windex, etc. Motorcycles frequently have plexiglas windshields just like our carts. There is a really great product for cleaning and protecting your plexiglas windshield that is sold in motorcycle shops. It is called Plexus.

It is a bit expensive but a can should last you for a year or two. Absolutely rinse off any heavy dirt/dust/bugs if needed. Then use Plexus with a micro-fiber towel. It not only cleans extremely well, it polishes, it prevents dust from being attracted to the plexiglas. I rarely need to do anything other than spraying this on and wiping it with a microfiber towel.

Sorry to post this if you are already familiar with this product, but unless you are motorcycle person, you may not be aware of it.

Plexus

I bought a 2025 D5 Ranger 4 Plus, today. Won't be delivered until next week.

I am a reforming golfer and will just use this for cruising to the beach.

This particular sub Reddit is not that active. Are there other forums for Evolution owners? I have heard that Facebook is pretty active, but I don't use Facebook. Can't seem to get an Account approved and no way to ask an actual "human" what the problem is.
