E-Z-GO^® Introduces Express™ Line of Utility Vehicles

 

 

AUGUSTA, Ga. — E-Z-GO^®, a leading global manufacturer of light-transportation vehicles, introduces the E-Z-GO Express™ line of utility vehicles. The Express line is designed to move families and friends through neighborhood paths or campground trails quickly, safely and efficiently.

 

The E-Z-GO Express line offers numerous features to make moving around the neighborhood or campsite more fun. An optional limited-slip differential provides for greatly improved traction and control on wet or loose terrain, allowing the vehicles to traverse tough trails with ease. The vehicles feature a standard steel brush guard and integrated front bumper for both a stylish look and to protect the body, finish and vehicle components.

 

Large headlights integrated into the Express’ cowl are specially designed and positioned for maximum light dispersion in front of and around the vehicle’s front, for high visibility at dawn and dusk. For even better visibility in low-light conditions, the vehicles can be equipped with optional high-output LED headlights.

 

Each vehicle in the line is available with the choice of a quiet, zero-emissions 48-volt electric drivetrain, or a low-emissions, fuel-efficient 13hp, 401cc Kawasaki^® gas-powered engine. The vehicles are equipped with a number of creature comforts, including cupholders, deep storage pockets, and ergonomically designed controls.

 

“The E-Z-GO Express line makes the journey as enjoyable as the destination,” said Kevin Holleran, president of E-Z-GO. “With their sleek design, convenient features and environmentally friendly operation, these vehicles make trips across the community or campsite greener, more efficient, and just more fun.”

 

The Express line features four different models, offering a variety of seating capacities, powertrain options and additional features to traverse the neighborhood in comfort and style:

 

• E-Z-GO Express S4 — With its rear-facing bench seat, the Express S4 transports up to four passengers easily and efficiently. When you need to haul a few groceries or the night’s campfire spread, the rear seat converts in seconds into a small cargo deck.

 

• E-Z-GO Express L4 — Featuring two-tone seats and chrome wheels, the Express L4 moves up to four passengers across the trails in style, and the rear-facing bench seat easily converts in a rear cargo deck for hauling gear and small loads.

 

• E-Z-GO Express S6 — When you need to get the starting five to basketball practice in a hurry, the Express S6 is the vehicle of choice. The Express S6 moves up to six passengers and is ideal for use on neighborhood paths and other paved or improved surfaces, due to its lower suspension height, street tires with chrome wheels, and four forward-facing seats.  The rear-facing seat converts to a cargo deck in seconds to haul groceries and other small loads.

 

• E-Z-GO Express L6 — The Express L6 is designed to move larger groups of passengers around more difficult terrain. With four forward-facing seats and a third, rear-facing bench seat, the Express L6 transports up to six passengers. Its lifted suspension provides greater ground clearance to make it over bumps and obstacles, and its trail tires help it manage the pits and ruts of the path. As on all vehicles in the Express line, the rear seat quickly converts into a cargo deck for hauling smaller loads.

 

To make the vehicles even more versatile  – or just to give them a little extra comfort and style – E-Z-GO Express models can be customized with a wide variety of options and accessories, ranging from locking glove boxes to rearview mirrors, chrome wheels and even MP3 stereo systems.

 

The E-Z-GO Express line will be available in October through E-Z-GO Authorized Dealers. For more information on E-Z-GO’s complete line of light-transportation vehicles, please visit www.ezgo.com, or visit E-Z-GO’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/4ezgo.
