JON, CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THIS BUILD? This cart was built in California in 1999 and marketed as a "Community Vehicle" and sold for nearly $19,000 brand new. Last winter I stripped it down to the frame and completely rebuilt/refreshed it. • All new custom wiring • New paint • 3-inch additional lift (7-inches total) • New motor & controller • New dash • New LED lighting Current top speed is 54 mph

ANY CUSTOM FABRICATION? • Cut and reshaped the frame to accommodate a large 72V lithium battery • Faux supercharger • Custom graphics

WHAT AFTERMARKET PARTS DID YOU USE? • Navitas AC 5kw motor and 600A controller • Extreme Team 72V lithium battery • All-Sports 3" lift • Dakota Lithium batteries

GIVE US SOME BACKGROUND ABOUT YOU AND HOW LONG YOU HAVE BUILDING CARTS: I bought and restored a 1974 Harley-Davidson golf cart just for fun - my first cart. I then bought and modified a 2014 CC Precedent and then this Humdinger cart.

WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE PLANS FOR YOU? I build carts for my family and for my dog as a fun hobby. I'll just keep modifying and enhancing my carts
