What Makes Icon Golf Carts Different?
If you’re shopping for an electric golf cart, you’ve probably seen Icon pop up everywhere. And there’s a reason for that. Icon Golf Carts are becoming one of the top choices for street-ready electric vehicles. At Central Coast Carts, we’ve seen firsthand how they perform—and why customers keep coming back.
Let’s dive into what actually makes Icon Golf Carts different.
Built for the Streets and Beyond
Most golf carts are designed for the course. Icon carts? They’re made to go beyond the green.
Street-Legal from the Start
Every Icon Golf Cart is built with street use in mind. That means:
- DOT-approved lighting (LED head/tail/brake lights)
- Turn signals and horn
- Side mirrors and seat belts
- Windshield and wiper
In most states, including California, these features qualify them as Low-Speed Vehicles (LSVs). That means you can register and insure them like a car—just for speeds up to 25 mph.
Take It Anywhere (Almost)
From private communities and neighborhoods to beaches and campuses, Icon carts are versatile. They’re great for both fun and function.
Standard Features That Feel Premium
One thing that surprises most first-time buyers is how loaded Icon carts are right out of the box.
What’s Included Standard?
Icon Golf Carts come with:
- Digital LCD dashboard display
- 10” or 12” aluminum wheels
- Hydraulic disc brakes
- Independent suspension
- Front and rear storage compartments
- Onboard charger
You don’t need to pay more just to get decent features. That’s rare in the golf cart space.
Smart Battery Choices
Battery tech matters. Icon gives you options.
AGM Batteries
AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries are standard in most Icon models. They’re reliable and affordable, with a range of 25–30 miles per charge.
Lithium Battery Upgrade
If you want faster charging, longer lifespan, and more range, lithium is the way to go. You’ll get up to 60 miles on a single charge, depending on conditions.
Plus, lithium weighs less, which means better performance and smoother rides.
Maintenance Is Surprisingly Low
Gas-powered carts require oil changes, spark plugs, and more. Not here.
Icon carts are fully electric. That means:
- No oil
- No belts
- No engine parts
- Just battery checks and occasional tire service
The simplified design means less money spent on golf cart maintenance, and more time enjoying the ride.
Sleek Style That Turns Heads
Sure, performance matters. But so does style.
Clean, Modern Design
Icon carts have a sleek automotive look, not the boxy shape of old-school carts. With clean body lines and bold colors, they look more like an EV than a lawn ornament.
Color Options
Choose from bold colors like:
- Red
- Blue
- White
- Black
- Custom wraps or painted bodies available through dealers like Central Coast Carts
