EZGO Serial Number Guide E-Z-GO has used several different manufacturer's code and serial number formats over the years. This guide will walk through the process to decode the date code from each generation. Unfortunately, the serial number itself will not give information on later model vehicles. Welcome to our E-Z-GO - Legend - Western Catalog. The carts above listed from left to right are first a red mid 1950s E-Z-GO, one of the first, next a green 1967-1979 model, next a red 1980 to 1985 model, note how the rear top support is behind the seats as it has a slightly longer top. Next is a purple 1986 to 1994 Marathon model, then a red 1994 and newer Medalist model with a metal body. Basically on ALL Ezgo golf carts from 1980 and up will have a 4 digit manufacture date code and a 6 digit serial number. You will want the date code or short string of numbers sometimes even starting with letters – the last two digits in this string will tell you what year Ezgo golf cart you own.

EZGO has produced many different golf cart models over the least 50 or so years.

And their serial numbers should help you to track the year and the model of your cart.

The following information will give you the best idea of where to find these numbers and how these numbers work for your cart buying and selling needs.

Serial Number Location Varies

The toughest part about finding a serial number on your EZGO cart is that the location may change depending on the age and the model of your cart.

Like other manufacturers, EZGO has gone through many different models, each of which has different elements and design choices.

Sometimes, the creators change thing up in subtle ways that may end up confusing you unnecessarily.

As a result, we’re going to go over a few of the most common locations based on the model of the cart and its manufacturing year.

Since EZGO is one of the oldest golf cart producers, this list will be pretty extensive.

Thankfully, our research was able to find some sources that compiled this information down to a basic list.

This list includes:

Pre-Marathon Carts (1965-1975): Under the driver-side seat on the frame
Marathon Carts (1976-1993): Under the passenger-side glove box frame
Medalist (1994-1995) and TXT (1996 and up): Somewhere inside of the glove box
RXV (2008 and up): On the frame of the rear passenger side of the cart

This simple list should give you a basic idea of where to find most serial numbers on EZGO carts.

But what if you cannot find a serial number in these spots?

There’s a good chance that your cart may not be one of the models listed above.

If you know the model of your cart, you can check the following locations to find serial numbers.

In some cases, there may be more than one spot on each cart with a serial number, so if there are any carts repeated from the list above, we’ll only mention alternative areas:

Marathon Golf Cart (1975 to 1993): Sometimes underneath of the driver seat, printed directly on the frame of the vehicle
TXT Golf Cart (1996 and up): May be located below the charger receptacle or beneath the access panel near the cross member
Workhorse (1996 to 2003): Sometimes located below the charger receptacle or on the cross member beneath the access panel
ST Golf Cart (1999 and up): Same extra location as the TXT and Workhorse golf cart models we mentioned above
MPT Golf Cart (2004 and up): Also below the charger receptacle and the cross member beneath the access panel, as mentioned for other carts
RXV (2008 and up): The base of the steering column or the drivers-side frame member under the front splash shield
2Five Golf Cart (2009 and up): Similar to the Workhorse and RXV models (below charger or beneath the access panel)

As you can see, the serial number on most golf carts are usually fairly easy to find.

Most EZGO design teams try to keep them in a position that makes sense for the average buyer.

And if you know the model of your cart, you should find it fairly easy to locate your serial number.

Once you do, you shouldn’t have a hard time discovering more about your cart and its manufacture.

However, there are a few other steps that you have to take in mind, year, to ensure that you don’t get further confused.

That’s because EZGO serial numbers do not use a universal design throughout their history.

There are least 3-4 different formats that you must understand if you want to find the year and model of your golf cart using the serial number.

So let’s examine them now to get a better idea of what to expect.

Serial Number Formats Also Vary

A good serial number is not just a jumble of random numbers and letters with no meaning: it is a code that tells you just about everything you need to know about a product.

The same is true of golf carts.

And EZGO, with its long history, has used multiple different serial number formats.

Each of these formats is fairly easy to understand but varies based on the years of production for the cart.

Unfortunately, we weren’t able to find formats for carts produced before 1970.

However, we believe that the serial number format is very likely similar to the one produced for the 1970-1976 models.

Below, we’re going to take a look at the different production years, breaking down the formats used during these periods, and explain what each digit means on the serial number.

The 1970-1976 Production Period

During this time, at least two different formats were used for serial numbers on EZGO carts.

The first type was an eight-digit number that is fairly easy to read.

We’ll break it down for you here in this list by the digit, giving an explanation of what each means.

Then, we’ll give you an example of a typical serial number of this type to make it easier for you to read them.

First Digit – Month of production
Second Digit – Year of production
Third Digit and a Potential Fourth – Number of wheels
The X – Placeholder: serves to separate the time of the production from the production sequence
Remaining Four Digits – The production number of the cart off the line

Let’s break this down by using this serial number as an example: 834X 5323.

The “8” here represents August and the first “3” means “1973.”

Next, the “f4” indicates that the cart was a three-wheeled vehicle; if there was a second “4” before the “X,” the cart was a four-wheel vehicle.

The last four digits have the “X” mean that the cart was the 5,323rd cart of that model produced on that day.

What if the cart was produced in a month with a double-digit, such as October (10), November (11), or December (12)?

Then it would use the second format of this particular serial number.

In this format, there would be 4-5 numbers before the serial number and the first two would indicate the production month, the second the production year, and the third (and potentially fourth) would indicate the number of wheels.

Here’s a good example: 11544X 3243.

Using the second format, you could know that the first two digits (11) indicated the eleventh month of the year (November).

The third digit (5) represents the production year of 1975.

And the next two digits (4 and 4) mean that the cart was four-wheeled.

After the X, the final four digits represent the 3,243rd cart produced on that day.

The 1977-2004 Production Period

During this period of EZGO cart production, the serial number expanded to include more digits and represents a broader array of different production facets.

The change occurred mostly because there were now more carts than there were old ser
