Dealer Program
Become a golf cart dealer — under your own brand, not ours
Most ways to become a golf cart dealer put someone else's badge on your floor. This one doesn't: wholesale carts built under your name instead of ours, factory-direct, configured per order, starting from a single branded sample unit.
Every branded dealer program puts the factory's name on your floor and its rules on your margin. Ours works the other way: we build the carts, you own the brand — configured to your spec, priced factory-direct, starting from a single sample unit.
What it takes to become a golf cart dealer here
Six things decide whether this works for you. All six are below, in full, before you talk to anyone.
- Your first order is one cart
- A single branded sample unit, built to your spec, so you can verify the build before committing. Repeat orders ship by the container, and you can mix models in one.
- Payment is 30% down, 70% before shipment
- Custom production runs about 45 working days from the deposit and artwork approval. The balance is due before the carts leave the factory.
- You need somewhere to bolt carts together
- Carts arrive SKD — bolt-on assembly only, no cutting or welding. One experienced technician can finish a cart alone in about 1–3 hours; the first one always takes longer, and a second pair of hands makes it quicker.
- Budget 5–10% of order value in spare parts
- Wear items and service parts ride along with the order rather than being ordered after the first failure. We advise on what to stock for the models and the market you're in.
- The warranty is in writing before you pay
- 15 months on the vehicle, 3 years on lithium batteries, 15 months on lead-acid — all from factory ship date. Wear items such as tyres and upholstery are not covered. The vehicle warranty is carried by the factory.
- Licensing is your state's answer, not ours
- Whether you need a motor vehicle dealer licence turns on how your state defines “motor vehicle” — it varies, and we don't answer it for you. We read the statutes in 9 states here →

Who this program fits
This program is built for businesses that already sell — golf carts under someone else's brand, powersports, outdoor equipment, marine, or a service shop with a floor that could hold four carts. What they have in common: a local name customers trust, the ability to service what they sell, and a reason to want the margin and the brand to be theirs.
If that's you, the quote form asks three quick questions about your business — what you sell, roughly how many carts a year, and which brands you carry today — so the first conversation starts with a recommendation instead of a questionnaire.

What the program includes
Your brand on the cowl, not ours
Private-label is our default, not an upsell. Your name, your colors, your spec — priced on what your configuration is worth in your market, not against an identical cart at the shop down the road.
Configuration depth that closes deals
Custom body colors, nine seat upholsteries, wheels, roofs, audio and entertainment options, branding placement — and the same chassis can be built lifted or standard. Configured per order, so you sell a cart your competitors simply don't stock.
Start with one cart, not one container
The first order can be a single sample unit — verify the build quality before you commit. Repeat orders ship by the container, with models and trims mixed to fit local demand.
Factory-direct pricing
You buy from the factory that builds it, so the importer's margin stays in your pocket — no brand royalty, no franchise fee, and configuration questions answered by the production team, not a sales agency.
An urgent part doesn't cross an ocean
Carts ship SKD factory-direct from China. Spare parts and local service sit at our Wheatland, Missouri facility — an urgent US part ships domestically instead of waiting on a container.
Warranty in writing
15 months on the vehicle, 3 years on lithium batteries, 15 months on lead-acid — from factory ship date, in writing before you pay a deposit. Wear items are not covered, and we say that up front too. Common wear parts ship in your container at 5–10% of order value.
Your Parts Program, Planned Before the Container Ships
Your first service call decides your local reputation. This is how spare parts are handled, from the quote to ongoing support.
- 1
Sized to your business
Before your container ships, our engineers build a spares list around your models, your volume and your actual service load — usually 5–10% of order value. Not a generic kit.
- 2
Shipped with your order
The common wear parts travel in the same container, so they are on your shelf when the first cart sells.
- 3
Replenished when you need more
Ongoing parts for every product line, private label included. Our Wheatland, Missouri facility carries spare parts and provides repair service for qualifying markets; anything not on your shelf ships direct from China — about a week when it is in stock.
- 4
Warranty carried by the factory
15 months on the vehicle, 3 years on lithium batteries, 15 months on lead-acid — from factory ship date, in writing before you pay a deposit. Wear items are not covered.
What is covered goes into your dealer agreement, with the stocking list attached. Plan my spares package →
What “private label” covers here
The body itself, not just a badge
Every model we sell is our own private mold — exclusive styling, not the public-mold shell that turns up in a dozen catalogs under a dozen names. A customer who walks your floor is looking at a body they won't find in another catalog, wearing your name.
That is the difference between private label and a sticker program. If the shell is public, your brand is the only thing separating your cart from the one being sold cheaper three towns over.
What you specify
Body color, nine seat upholsteries, wheels, roofs, audio and entertainment options, and where your branding sits. The same chassis can be built lifted or standard, and a repeat container can mix models and trims to match what actually sells in your market.
What stays with us is the part you don't want to own: production, the warranty, and the technical desk behind it.

Brand assets, when the brand is yours
An authorised programme gives its dealers a download library of the brand owner’s material. Evolution, for one, describes its dealer portal as carrying logos, brand guides and physical materials for selling Evolution vehicles (we read that page on 24 September 2026). That is genuinely useful, and it is also the brand owner’s identity rather than yours.
Under your own brand that library does not exist until someone makes it — so we make the part of it that comes from the product. Renders and photography of your configuration in your colours, spec sheets carrying your name, and listing copy you can put straight onto your site and your marketplace pages. Those are ready before the carts land, so the first cart does not sit on your floor while you wait for something to sell it with.
What we can prepare with you, on request and agreed per order:
- Studio and scene renders of your own configuration — body colour, upholstery, wheels and your badge — rather than generic catalogue shots of somebody else’s trim.
- Spec sheets and comparison tables in your name, built from the configuration actually quoted, so the numbers on your sheet and the numbers on the order are the same numbers.
- Listing copy and feature descriptions for your website and marketplace pages, written against the configuration you bought.
- The illustrated assembly manual and delivery documentation for your own service file.
How it works, plainly. Once your order is placed, the source files come to you at no charge — take them and adapt them however your market needs. If you would rather we did the adapting, that is quoted as work. This starts when there is an order rather than at the enquiry stage, so it is something you get as a customer, not a brochure we hand out.
One limit worth stating. We produce material about the product; the name, the mark and the trademark work are yours — we are not your lawyers and we do not file or clear a trademark for you.

Dealer program FAQ
I'm already carrying another import brand. Why add this one?
You don't have to drop the lines you already carry. Order one private-label sample, put it on the floor next to what you sell today, and let the margin difference make the argument. If it earns the space, scale by the container.
What do I actually need to become a golf cart dealer?
Somewhere to put carts, someone who can bolt them together, and the working capital for a first order. With us that first order can be a single branded sample unit rather than a container, paid 30% on order and 70% before shipment, with custom production running about 45 working days from deposit and artwork approval. Budget a further 5–10% of order value in spare parts. The one thing we can't answer for you is licensing — whether you need a motor vehicle dealer licence depends on how your state defines “motor vehicle,” so put it to your own state motor vehicle department and get the answer in writing.
Do I have to commit to a container to become a dealer?
No. The first order can be a single sample unit so you can verify build quality before committing. Repeat orders ship by the container — that's where the per-unit freight economics actually work.
Can I sell under my own brand?
Yes — that's the default. We build private-label carts to your specification: your brand name, your colors, your trim mix. If you'd rather start unbranded and add your label later, that works too.
How is a private-label program different from wholesaling someone else's brand?
When you wholesale a brand, you build that brand's equity on your floor and its rules sit on your margin. Private label puts your name on the cart instead, so the brand premium that used to belong to the manufacturer belongs to you — and a customer can't price-shop your exact cart against the dealer three towns over.
Is the body really exclusive, or is it a public shell with my logo on it?
Every model we sell is our own private mold — exclusive styling, not the public-mold shell that appears in a dozen catalogs under a dozen names. It's a body you won't find in another catalog.
Do you offer protected territory?
Protected territory solves a problem this program doesn't have. A branded program needs it because two dealers in the same market end up with the identical cart under the identical name, and the only thing left to compete on is price. Your carts carry your brand and your configuration — the dealer three towns over isn't selling them, because they aren't his to sell.
Who handles warranty and parts in North America?
Warranty and technical support run from our factory team. When a part is urgent, it ships from parts stock at our Wheatland, Missouri facility instead of crossing an ocean, and local service can be arranged there.
What arrives in the container, and who assembles it?
Carts arrive SKD — bolt-on assembly only, no cutting or welding. One experienced technician can finish a cart alone in about 1–3 hours (the first one takes longer), working from the illustrated manual: 36 sections, every step specced to the exact fastener.
What are the warranty terms?
15 months on the vehicle, 3 years on lithium batteries and 15 months on lead-acid, all from factory ship date — in writing before you pay a deposit. Wear items are not covered.
