More than 50 years after it was born in California, but only 7 months after it moved to Michigan, the Turf Rider is making a comeback.

It will transition from a heavy electric cart, to a sleek and nimble gas cart. Moving to the 2006 Club Car Precedent underbody and chassis will certainly present challenges and require a lot of fabrication along the way, but it will happen.

Most of the Turf Rider carts had 3 wheels, very few 4 wheel versions were produced before the company went out of business.
