Are Icon Golf Carts Worth It? A Local Buyer’s Guide
Shopping for a golf cart? There are more options now than ever—brands, features, battery types, and body styles. So where does Icon really stand out? At Central Coast Carts, we’ve helped hundreds of customers decide, and one thing keeps coming up: Icon delivers serious value.
Let’s break it all down.
You Get a Lot for the Price
Most electric golf carts look similar on the outside—but what’s inside matters.
Premium Features, Standard
Many brands charge extra for what Icon includes as standard:
- LED head and tail lights
- Turn signals
- Side mirrors
- Seat belts
- LCD digital displays
- Onboard charger
- 10″ or 12″ aluminum wheels
That’s not a premium upgrade—it’s just what you get. No complicated add-on packages or surprise fees.
Affordably Priced
Icon carts fall in a sweet spot. They’re priced thousands less than other street-legal carts with the same features. And with multiple body styles and battery options, you can find one that fits both your lifestyle and budget.
Performance That Keeps Up
An electric vehicle is only as good as its battery and motor system. Icon’s are solid.
Speed
Most Icon models hit 25 mph, which is ideal for neighborhoods, parks, and other low-speed zones.
Range
Battery range depends on what you choose:
- AGM Batteries: Up to 30 miles per charge
- Lithium Batteries: 40 to 60+ miles per charge
Plenty for full days of errands, recreation, or cruising the community.
Smooth, Quiet Ride
With independent suspension and hydraulic disc brakes, the ride is steady—even on rougher roads. And because it’s fully electric, it’s nearly silent.
Everyday Utility
Golf carts aren’t just for golfers anymore. Icon makes daily use easy.

What About Maintenance?
