What Year Is My E-Z-GO Golf Cart?
Once you locate the serial number plate, you’ll see another code on the plate. This code can help you determine the year of manufacture for your EZGO golf cart.
For golf carts made from 1979 to the present, the model year is indicated in the last two digits. If you’ve got a 1976-1978 model, you can determine the year according to the first two digits. You can snap a photo of your code once you find it. So, you can have it handy for ordering EZGO replacement parts. It can save you the headache of wrong fits. Let’s take a closer look at more details.
Decoding the Manufacture Date by EZGO Serial Number
E-Z-GO has used several different manufacturer’s codes and serial number formats over the years. See the E-Z-GO serial number format and decode the year of manufacture.
1. 1970-76 EZGO Models
You can locate the serial number under the driver’s side seat, behind the battery on the fender skirt.
First Format – MY4X XXXX( e.g., 914X 1234)
- 1st digit: month of production ( the 9th month)
- 2nd digit: Year of production (1971)
- 3rd/4th digits: One 4 refers to a three-wheeler and two 4 means four-wheelers.
- X: Insignificant
- Four digits at end: Sequential number off the production line (1234)
2. 1977-2004 EZGO Models
There are three different serial number formats for post-1976 models. For these formats, the letter always represents the month. However, “A” does not represent January. It represents the first month of production for that year. Usually, production begins in July or August, but can vary by year. As a general rule, we start with July as “A”, August as “B” and so on.

3. Mid 2000 to Present EZGO Models
From the mid-2000s on, EZGO uses a modernized vehicle identification system. It replaces the traditional manufacturer’s code and metal plate with sticker labels in a model-specific location.
On most gas models, you can find the code under the choke plate, while electric versions typically have the label beneath the charger receptacle. You can also lift the seat and watch for the rear differential area. A black plastic access cover appears and you can lift its front flap to reveal a horizontal steel frame member, where you can see the serial number sticker for identification information. On almost all post-1980 EZGO models, the serial numbers are standardized 4-digit manuf/date code and 6-digit serial number.
*Note: EZGO Low-Speed Vehicle like RXV and 2FIVE models have unique placement – the first label position to check is the bottom of the steering column. The second label position would be underneath the front end, visible through the driver’s side wheel well when viewing the front frame
