Now discontinued – the EZGO TXT is no longer manufactured, but it remains widely used and we fully support existing owners with servicing, repairs and parts.
The EZGO TXT is a workhorse of a golf buggy – simple, rugged and found everywhere from golf courses to holiday parks. This guide covers the everyday maintenance a TXT owner can do themselves, for both the 48-volt electric and the 13.5 hp petrol versions.
The electric TXT runs a 48V DC system (six 8-volt batteries) with a PowerWise charger, while the petrol model uses a single-cylinder 401cc engine. Keeping on top of the batteries (or the oil and filters on petrol) is what keeps a TXT dependable.

How you look after the batteries makes the biggest difference to an electric buggy's life. If you have a lithium (LiFePO4) pack it's virtually maintenance-free – charge when convenient, partial charges are fine. For lead-acid batteries: charge after every use, avoid deep discharges, keep the water above the plates (top up with distilled water after charging), keep the tops clean, and always charge in a well-ventilated space away from sparks or flames.
Check pressures regularly and take care inflating – these small tyres fill fast and over-inflate easily. Keep pressures even across the buggy for stable handling.
Many EZGO TXT owners upgrade from lead-acid to a lithium pack for lighter weight, faster charging and near zero maintenance. We carry out lithium conversions – see our Lithium Battery Upgrades page.
| Symptom | Possible cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle will not move | Key off / no direction selected, or batteries discharged | Turn key on, select direction, check and charge batteries. |
| Loose or corroded battery connections | Clean and tighten; protect terminals. | |
| Runs then cuts out (petrol) | Fuel, filter or ignition fault | Check fuel and filters; have ignition checked by a technician. |
| Won't hold charge | Ageing or failed battery | Load test and replace batteries that won't hold charge, or upgrade to lithium. |
