That’s a perfect name for this cart!
So how much would a fully tricked out golf cart cost?
@@dperry7830 15-20k depending how far you wanna go check out the video I just uploaded!
Can this work with a 76v 150a fleet lithium battery?
@@nkay95 yes it can, I’ve got a matte black one in stock with the same drive train as the Flex, 7.5kw motor 72v controller
@@lakesidebuggies would love to see a review on that battery and how many miles you get with it on the vibe ev
@nkay95 I did one recently on the Flex, the cart got over 40 miles at 40+ mph

Whats the golf cart model in this video?

Someone needs to build a dash to house that for a cleaner look. Cool system though.
There are plenty of dash options out there

@@jarretandrade6189 sounds great. We are definitely here for you.!
If I missed it in the video I apologize but what tires are on this cart and are they radial?
@@greggourley those are stock tires that come on the vibes, they are 23x10x14 Wanda tires, I don’t think they are radials or DOT tires but they do ride pretty smooth
Cost??
These start at $12500!
Could you give your top 3 carts and your top 3 worst carts? I’m in the market. Budget is open. Thank you.
Yo sweet golf cart
If I came to u could u recalibrate the golf cart for me and make it go as fast as yours does
Where are you located and what kind of car do you have?
Android auto on any carts?
Yes! Wireless Android auto comes on all of the vibes I guess I should shown that more often, I’m an iPhone user so I can’t demo it very well, but it’s there
@lakesidebuggies Droid rules! :), sweet, totally gonna get one when I move to Florida this next year
@tsmatthx2 we will be here! And congrats on the move!
That’s too bad, you should go to supplier to get refund 😊
I did try
can the business upgrade a new one to go 45?
No, unfortunately we aren’t able to in house, that one is my own unit and I am using the Bluetooth programming tool on my own volition but you can get one of the programmers online and program yours for sure

Which four seater forward facing would you recommend
Hands down the vibe flex
You disabled the heated seats! 😂
That’s for sure. Yes, I did…. Somebody’s seat would’ve been on fire with that pack under them.
The battery got a GPU
LOL, thanks now I’ll never not see a GPU when I look at the BMS inside these batteries again haha
I actually just found the BMS inside of the no name battery a.co/d/3As3FOK Here’s a link to purchase the same base BMS without our software that we use in the 76 V a.co/d/7bPyCOD It’s crazy
Is converting a 48v lead-acid cart to Lithium a viable solution? Or does it shake out too close to just buying a new cart, with all of the guts already setup for lithium? I have good LA batteries still, but one day they won't be anymore and I was just curious.
Oh absolutely yes it’s definitely doable but what most of our customers tend to find is that by the time they actually start adding up the cost of refurbishing an older unit they can get a much nicer brand new car with a 3 to 5 year warranty for less money and better equipment. Don’t get me wrong. I love building a custom golf cart on the weekends or after work in the garage, but the value isn’t there right now, I think Vibe hit it perfectly on the head with a $10999 starting MSRP
@@lakesidebuggies This was kind of what I was thinking. Battery + Controller + other odds and ends, I bet it ends up close to what I bought this RXV Freedom for when new. This is it's first set of new batts. Thx for the reply and good vids.
@@bradrehnstrom1068no doubt, I put well over $10k in to building a killer RXV for myself a couple years ago, in the end it was dangerously fast and had no front or rear brakes and it was not even enjoyable, it was scary, and dangerous
@@bradrehnstrom1068 thanks for watching! There’s always a huge sense of accomplishment when you build a badass cart from the ground up, but honestly it’s really hard to justify the cost and time it takes compared to some new import brands like Vibe and MadJax.
Probably needs 240v to charge to original battery.
Interesting, that is a possibility regarding why the charger didn’t charge the battery, but it wouldn’t have changed the fact that the battery would not stay on. Eventually, we would get the battery to turn on by holding the switches down but as soon as you release them the battery would shut off. I also attempted to charge the pack with multiple different chargers. And the terminals inside the pack put out 73.6 V. On a multimeter, indicating that the pack was fully charged. I don’t want to claim to be any sort of expert at any sort of thing, but I’ve seen thousands of these import carts as that’s basically our brand card, probably twice as many lithium batteries from various manufactures and inside of various carts. I’ve never seen a single one of them as poorly built as this cart
would feel better seeing you drive the cart. 11k is still cheaper.... im sure you can sell it to someone
I wanted to do a driving video comparing it to other brands we carry. Unfortunately, I was never able to get it to run and I had to leave Dallas and head to our St Pete store and I left this car behind. With the original battery removed most of the golf cart looked acceptable but there’s clearly a wiring gremlin already and the car hasn’t even been driven. I plan to make a follow up video after I get in touch with Navitas vehicle Systems, because I think I can use the motor and the frame and chassis with navitas controller and their new digital dash to make a pretty decent little golf cart $15,000 later out of my own personal pocket with no retail markup
This crap will give lithium a bad name
Cheap lithium no doubt. I love how he shows off the inside of the fleet battery, that looks incredibly well built
There are quite a few quality products out there, fleet lithium is our brand of choice because it exceeds all reasonable expectations in both quality and performance, but you also have Eco battery and Allied lithium who also make excellent product. The moral of the story for this video is not to scare people away from lithium altogether it’s to warn people of the pitfalls of cheap lithium, no name brands, or brand names you can’t even pronounce. This battery came in a really cheap import cart, which we’ve seen flood the market like crazy all over the United States, but especially in Florida and Texas. Spending $6500 to enter the golf cart market sounds like a good idea until you realize you’re $3 to $4k in to a second battery for it. This was a really expensive video for me to make, but I had zero doubt that my point would be well-made, and sure enough it was. So for the sake warning all the new buyers in the market, I feel like it was money well spent.
You get what you pay for. "Such is life."
@@dropbear9526 100%
@@lakesidebuggies I have gone with the name brands all my life! Never been disappointed either.
@@bradlindeman7417amen. If a product doesn’t have a brand name behind it, who stands behind it?
Nice video. Where can I get that car play system?
@@horacejones5226 we sell a similar version on our website, but this particular system is factory installed on the vibe carts. I have another video up a few weeks ago about the system on any unit!
I bought one. Speedometer reads 4 mph faster than it is. It would not go faster than 21 mph. Dealer reprogrammed it and now it goes 32 mph. Shoulder belt is horrible. Cuts into my neck. I redesigned the mount for it now it is good. I'm happy with the e40L. See how it holds up long term. It is only used on paved secondary roads.
I have one and it's too slow and the seat belt shoulder belt height needs to be adjustable. Never got any USB dongle with owner's manual from my dealer. There are things I do not know how to use and that's why I was searching UA-cams. Also, I don't think it is going 25 mph top speed. Roadside speed sign days it's doing 21 mph. It needs to go 30 mph. Buy a gas cart!
@@garyruark9506 check out the new video on the Vibe EV golf carts
sorry but I made many golf carts with snowmobile engines in them and all the working lights for street legal in the 90's that went well over 100 MPH. thats slow.... Still looks beautiful.
@@jeffboring9376 hahaha we’re just trying to Have fun, not ruin lives! LOL
If I wanted the speaker and the battery that makes it go 45mph how much would that be
Give us shout lakesidebuggies.com or Oceansidegolfcars.com
Beautiful. I may need one in two year, heading to Caribbean.
You should!
Great looking cart! But, having the sound system/speakers not integrated is very odd!
There is an integrated sound system and I show that before I show the sound bar and sub connected by Bluetooth. With an rca cable connected to the carts head unit then run to the sound bar would allow full control from the head unit
Do you know if madjax is going to come out with two row forward facing seats on the 2025’s?
I don’t
Do yall Ezgo golf carts ?
We sure do. Give us a call 972-478-1332
When are you getting some of the new 2025 epic golf carts in? I want to see your review!
@@bigcountryreviews6551icon hasn’t had great inventory levels, and the carts being sent to dealers are ranging widely from what we typically expect to get. Once they get it together we will give them another shot.
If you have any questions, feel free to post them right here on the video!
What about water bottle holders
Hi I see the video has been posted for a few months, How is reliability?
We’ve sold 36 units and no failures thus far.
How would you compare this cart to the madjax?
They’re both very similar to each other, the screen on the Vibe golf cart has more functionality and car play, And it’s touchscreen where Madjax is not a touchscreen, and the vibe speakers are much nicer and louder. They’re both good looking Golf Carts they both ride phenomenal, It just comes down to personal preference between the two
I love how the front end of the madjax looks, definitely interested getting one
They are great carts you can’t go wrong give us a shout! 972-478-1332
Can I program controller to allow me to go faster on the battery that comes with the cart? Also if I needed to upgrade what do you recommend for parts?
yes, you can program the cart to go faster with the factory Eco battery. However, Fleet Lithium batteries have a higher amperage out threshold which allows the cart to travel at a higher rate of speed for longer without the battery shutting off due to an overcurrent situation. If you’re looking for an X Series G2, give us a shout 972-478-1332 we will get you hooked up!
Are you able to do a comparison between epic and vibe. Got the approval from the wife but am torn between both models. Please help
Yes, I can, I’ll make that video tommorrow
Great video, Kevin! Easy to follow, informative, and detailed. Thank you
Thank you very much. I appreciate that. I do plan to make more of these videos as soon as time allows.
Show me where my dad is cuz I just saw I had a mission golf carts
Sorry buddy if I could, I would! Thanks for watching
Looks a LOT like a Venom-EV. The 54" width means that it would not work for us as we are limited to 50" wide BETWEEN two posts where we will need to park.
Kodiak is Definitely higher quality than the venom. But check out our new Vibe EV it has an arrow track with the Kodiak and is loaded with a lot more features
A lot of money for a unproven unknown golf cart
We sold about 300 of them last year and many dealers still sell them. We won’t ever carry a product that we wouldn’t own ourselves
The charging port in the video is round, but the one in that kit on your website is square. I've got a 2019 CC onward with the round charging port like the one in the video. The charging port in the video is round, but the one in that same kit on your website is square??
Both his website and the Fleet Lithium website show the charger as having a round port, as well as the battery-side cable that you attach. It is also not the same as the 3-pin charging port already present on the cart (we have a 2018 Onward).
@@b0bsaget007yep I saw that, but that's not what is shown in this video. The one in the video does not look round. I guess he doesn't want to sell too many of these kids since I messed him on here and I'll message him on his website haven't heard nothing
Hi JD, thanks for the question and I apologize for my late reply, I have been extremely busy setting up our new location in Florida. We do have both round and square ports available, I hope to have the various kit options on our website soon and I appreciate you pointing this out! In the meantime if you can give me a call directly at 214-505-7600, I can place the order with the round charge port manually for you.
Navitas Chassis VS The MadJax X?
Two very different units! We made that video about a year ago and it compares a gen 1 to Navitas chassis.
I'm looking at that front suspension and wondering how rough it rides??
It really doesn’t ride rough at all, although it’s not as smooth or easy to handle as the MadJax. I think the Navitas chassis are nice however the lack of front brakes is what really pushes me towards the X series. One thing is still undisputed, Navitas are absolute monsters in both speed, and performance compared to any other cart on the market
Do you have a video on pulling the screen to adjust the amplifier?
I was just about to ask the same thing I just purchased mine today and it was incredibly quiet at the dealership
Same, did anyone find that?
No, but I will definitely make one tomorrow. Looks like quite a few people are looking for that info!
@@lakesidebuggiesdid you make a video yet?
The button on the back; supposed to tell you the level of the battery. It’s in between the off button and the charger port
I have the exact same car and used the exact same setup but for some reason after install the Healdights, horn, and Turn signals will not work. I have traced every wire, and every fuse which are all still good. Have you ever seen that issue?
Sounds like you may have hooked your headlights directly to the 51 v source, you need to verify with your dealer if you need a voltage reducer or not
Which one could I get for 8,999?
Check out our website lakesidebuggies.com we’ve actually got quite a few options in that price range
Where are these carts made?
Navitas chassis are hand built by us in Addison, Texas
