When it comes to golf carts and utility vehicles, the golf market is one with countless alternatives. You might be in for a big surprise if you believed you had seen everything the business has to offer. Utility trucks made by Cushman Golf Carts have been serving the transport and hauling needs of customers for many years, particularly golfers. The government, educational institutions, the hospitality and service sectors, as well as the industries of construction and agriculture, all use these utility vehicles.
Cushman Utility Vehicles’ History
Cushman is a golf cart manufacturer with a long history. Cushman was created in 1901 by Everette and Clinton Cushman, but the Cushman Golf Buggy was not built until 1949. In 1954, they swiftly followed up with the production of the Golfster.
The Cushman Motor Company has had several owners throughout the years, including the Cushman brothers, Charles Ammon (1919), Outboard Marine Corporation (1957), Ransomes ltd (1989), and Textron (1998). Despite these developments, Cushman’s ambition to manufacture sturdy and speedy golf carts has remained consistent over the years.
Models of Cushman Utility Vehicles
Textron has produced a variety of types for golf cart and utility vehicle applications over the years. Utility vehicles from the Hauler series are made for government and educational institutions, agriculture, construction, hospitality, professional turf, and golf.
Another of Cushman’s vehicle manufacturing geniuses is the Shuttle series, which is best suited to personnel transport in many areas. These are often larger in dimensions and have a higher passenger capacity. Cushman Golf Carts also has a refresher series. And you are correct if you guessed that they are specifically designed for the golfing and hospitality industries. This series is carefully designed with storage drawers in the back, large enough to accommodate all of your beverages and other golfing supplies.
Cushman Utility Vehicle Powering Modes
Cushman utility vehicles are available in both electric and gas-powered configurations. The following are typical requirements for petrol vehicles:
- Engine: 4-cycle, 24.5-ci cylinder, overhead valve
- A 12V battery that requires no maintenance.
- 13.5 horsepower (greater power than electric rivals)
- 5.6-gallon petrol tank (can go more than 100 miles on one tank)
- Electric Cushman vehicles emit no emissions, making them more environmentally friendly.
- The electric powertrain for the Refresher Oasis model is 48V AC (Hauler and Shuttle versions) and 72V AC (Hauler and Shuttle models).

Other features shared by both gas and electric Cushman golf carts are:
