In addition to the main three, there are a host of other golf cart manufacturers that have, or have once had, their own version of golf carts. The following is a list of some additional manufactures to consider when choosing a golf cart, or similar utility vehicle, for yourself.
Current Golf Cart Manufacturers

Cruise Car

Cushman

Kawasaki

Melex

Taylor Dunn

Their line of personal carriers may have what you need if you just want to move some stuff, or some people, around. |
Past Golf Cart Manufacturers
Harley Davidson golf carts began in 1963 with their line of 3 wheel golf carts. They continued to broaden their line until they were acquired by Columbia ParCar in 1982, where their production was quickly ended.

- Hyundai
Hyundai golf carts were around for a couple of years in the early 90’s, but were quickly discontinued. Replacement parts are somewhat difficult to come by, but if you are handy you may be able to integrate parts from other manufacturers.

- Westinghouse
Westinghouse, sometimes known as Marketeer, has some cool retro golf carts, but they’ve also got a confusing history. Westinghouse purchased Marketeer in the mid-60’s, were later sold to Nordskog in the late-70’s, then sold to Electicar in the early-90’s, then acquired by Legend in the mid-90’s, finally to be purchased by Columbia ParCar in the late-90’s.
