So, you’re ready to break the laws of time and space and install a flux capacitor in a golf cart?

Great choice.

If Doc Brown can time travel with a DeLorean, why not do it with your Evolution or Tomberlin?

In this totally real* guide, we’ll show you how to install a flux capacitor in a golf cart and hit 88 mph—sort of.

Let’s dive in.

What Is a Flux Capacitor?

Before you install one, let’s get technical.

A flux capacitor is the fictional device from Back to the Future that makes time travel possible.
It requires 1.21 gigawatts of power and precise speed calibration.

In real life? It’s a sweet piece of nerd décor.

Why a Golf Cart?

Why not?

Golf carts are quiet, eco-friendly, and now… potentially time machines.

They’re also easier to mod than a DeLorean. And let’s be honest—how many DeLoreans do you see at the golf course?

What You’ll Need

Ready to turn your cart into a rolling time machine?

Here’s what you “need”:

1. Flux Capacitor Prop

You can find one on Etsy, eBay, or geeky hobby stores.
Get one with lights and wires for maximum sci-fi vibes.

2. LED Strip Lights

For that glowing “time circuit” look.
RGB lights are best. Add them under the dash or around the frame.

3. Toggle Switches and Fake Controls

You’ll need lots of buttons. Even if they don’t do anything.
Bonus points for labeling one “Engage Time Circuits.”

4. Custom Dashboard Panel

Install your flux capacitor behind the seat or in the dash.
Use a small aluminum or plexiglass panel to house your controls.

5. 88 MPH Sticker

No time machine is complete without the “88 MPH” benchmark.

Your cart won’t go that fast.
But your imagination will.

Installing Your Flux Capacitor in a Golf Cart(Kinda)

Here’s your super-scientific step-by-step:

Step 1: Mount the Flux Capacitor

Attach it behind your seat or in the dash area.
Use velcro, screws, or a 3D-printed bracket.

Step 2: Wire Up the LEDs

Run LED strips from a 12v accessory battery or USB power bank.
Hide the wires behind panels or zip-tie them to frame bars.

Step 3: Add the Controls

Mount toggle switches on your custom panel.
Don’t forget a glowing red “Time Travel” button.

Step 4: Install a Digital Speed Display (Optional)

This is extra cool.
Some digital speedometers work with golf carts.
Set the display to show “88” and blow minds.

How to “Activate” the Time Circuits

When you’re all set up, just follow these “scientific” steps:

  1. Turn on the lights.
  2. Flip every switch dramatically.
  3. Hit the accelerator and yell “GREAT SCOTT!”
  4. (Don’t actually try to hit 88 mph. You’ll regret it.)

Take It to the Next Level

Want to max out the fun?

  • Dress like Doc or Marty.
  • Install a fog machine.
  • Play the Back to the Future theme from a Bluetooth speaker.

Your neighborhood will never be the same.

Wait… Can You Actually Time Travel?

Nope.
Not unless your golf cart comes with plutonium and a DeLorean VIN number.

But you will have the most legendary ride on the green.

Final Thoughts

Installing a flux capacitor in your golf cart won’t bend space-time.
But it will:

  • Turn heads
  • Spark conversation
  • And make every ride feel like an adventure

Whether you’re cruising the cul-de-sac or ruling the fairway—do it with style.
