Yamaha has a good mind for stretching the range of what we think a golf cart can do. They tackle both their full models and their parts with creativity and flourish. When you customize a Yamaha golf cart for a customer, you can be pretty precise.

Surprising Yamaha Traits

Sometimes customers want to use a golf cart just to get from place to place along an easy path. Other times, they want to take things a little more far afield. Yamaha builds tend to be light but sturdy. They don’t really think about what a golf cart can’t do; they think about what they can make a golf cart do.

You can customize a Yamaha golf cart to have a pretty aggressive profile – they build tires that can handle rough terrain and loose paths. We like their lift kits and they’re also not afraid to show some of the parts “under the hood” if it means the build can be slightly lighter. There’s a good mind toward saving on weight in the body so that more of its capability can be directed to the job at hand.

That’s the thing with Yamaha – you can easily customize them with the goal of exactly what customers want it to do in mind.

Active Lifestyle

Yamaha offers some of the best makes and parts for those who want to use their golf cart to support an active lifestyle.

One of our favorite features is perfect for folks with a green thumb. This is the tilting dump bed, and it demonstrates the focus Yamaha puts into how people will use their vehicles and parts.

Yamaha isn’t the only one to have thought of this, but we like their utilitarian take on it. It’s a well made feature that’s easy to use and maximizes space. It’s also a great selling point for folks in retirement communities who still want to garden.

Gardening remains popular with seniors because it allows them to be active in a way that doesn’t necessarily test ailing joints or endurance. You get to be outside, under the sun, in the fresh air, and both focused and engaged with what you’re doing. Not only this, but gardening makes people feel like they still get to make changes in the world. When your body isn’t as capable as it used to be, the ability to change a lawn or patch of dirt into a blossoming garden can be deeply meaningful.

The tilting dump bed is such a good feature because you might get tired carrying stones or dirt, fertilizer or mulch, or big pots of plants to and fro. That’s a high hurdle for many older people who would like to garden. It makes a simple activity inaccessible. But when you can load up the tilting dump bed and unload with ease, suddenly you can move mountains.

It seems like a simple feature to highlight in depth, but when it can make such a difference in someone’s life, it’s well worth pointing out one of our favorite parts when it comes to customizing a Yamaha golf cart.

Low Maintenance

It’s not the kind of thing you can exactly see in a showroom, but the Yamaha is very low maintenance. Part of this is the simple and straightforward Yamaha build, but there’s also a lot of thought that goes into the individual parts. They build some of our favorite suspensions, which again feeds into the Yamaha being such a good all-around and practical vehicle.

For those who want to leave a better world for their children, they also lead the industry in fuel economy and emissions.

It can get confusing how to fuse all these parts together into the perfect machine, but customizing builds for individual customer needs is remarkably easy. We’re the only ones who feature a subscription-based app for doing this. Subscription means customization-as-a-service. That means we’re constantly updating the latest parts on offer, which gives you the most ability to customize in the industry.

People who have retired have put some miles on their legs over the years, but they still like to enjoy the outdoors at their own pace. Bad knees, bad hips, shortness of breath, surgeries – there are a host of reasons that retired people have trouble navigating the outdoors as well as they’d like. There’s a solution that dealers can provide: golf carts.

The Golf Cart Boom

This is why retirement communities of all kinds have recently focused on providing easy trails. The Villages, an 83,000 strong seniors community near Orlando, boasts more than 50,000 golf carts. The golf cart lifestyle has even become a talking point there. Most everyone owns one.

Golf carts for seniors offer a range of mobility that they otherwise have trouble enjoying. Before any other concerns, seniors seek ways to stay mobile. It helps them participate instead of feeling like the world is moving on past them. Yet dealers need a way to easily customize golf carts for senior buyers.

Golf Cart Benefits

For retirement communities, the benefit is clear. Golf carts are cleaner and less noisy than cars, take up less space, cause less damage if they’re ill-handled, and can travel along trails and not just streets. It’s an incredible space-saver for the community, especially if it’s designed with golf cart living in mind.

Golf carts for seniors are also a major stress reducer for residents. They don’t create the traffic of cars, but they offer much of the same mobility. They allow seniors to visit each other and local shops where they can spend money that makes the community that surrounds and supports your own succeed. Golf carts allow them to take part in the world in a way they couldn’t if they were forced to be more stationary.

How Dealers Can Customize

It can be difficult for customers, dealers, and manufacturers to communicate about exactly what the buyer wants. The key is software that allows those three phases to enjoy clear communication. Different dealers and communities have different priorities, and need several makes on-call at a moment’s notice. That’s why you can use our app to mix and match parts, customize from more than 300 items, and come up with the perfect golf cart solutions to provide to senior communities. We offer customized Club Car Precedent, EZGO RXV, and Yamaha Drive golf carts.

Subscription allows you to treat the Build Your Golf Cart app as-a-service, which means constant updates with new items in the database every month. That keeps you on the cutting edge and able to offer the most recent and highly customized features in your golf carts. It’s a way for you to stand out in a growing industry.
