Just like the Club Car and EZGO, the Yamaha golf cart is one of the most common and popular brands of standard golf cart. There are a variety of different types of Yamaha carts, many of which we have available for sale and for rental. Some models include the G series (G1-G28), the Drive G29, and the Drive 2. The difference between these models, other than their appearance and some features, is the years they were released: The G series spans from 1985 to 2007, the Drive G29 was made from 2007 to 2016, and the Drive 2 was released in 2017 and continues today. Below is some more information about these different cart models, along with some pictures of some from our fleet.
Yamaha Golf Cart
Yamaha G Series (G1-G22)
Older models in Yamaha’s G series, such as the G1, G9, and G11, have a more square body shape, with some drivers preferring to have no roof. Later models like the G14, G19, and G22, have a shape closer to carts made in the present day, with a more rounded hood and slight differences in body measurements – such as the G22 having wider seats and a rounded roof. As older carts, these have more basic features and don’t immediately come with front headlights, and many of the G series models are available in both gas and electric.

Yamaha Drive G29
As a more modern design, the Yamaha Drive G29 has a sleeker look and a digital fuel gauge. On the dashboard, there’s also a battery indicator on electric models, and has the capability to allow for installation of two USB charging ports. Electric models use a high performance AC motor, while the gas carts have a 357cc low-emission single cylinder engine with electronic fuel injection, built by Yamaha. The gas models can reach a speed of around 15mph, while the electric carts can travel approximately 19mph. The body is made of molded plastic, and has several color options available.

As the most recent model, the Yamaha Drive 2 has more advanced technology and upgraded features, with an automotive-style dash, a wider wheelbase, and a variety of different customization options, including allowing for the installation of a USB charging port, self-canceling turn signals, an enhanced audio experience with a JBL sound system, and a color coded speedometer. Seats are also wide and adjustable for various heights, and the cabin has a large amount of legroom. Its independent rear suspension provides a smooth ride, even on uneven terrain. Like all Yamaha carts, gas and electric versions are available.
