Building the Ultimate Golf Cart: The Navitas Lifted Aluminum Chassis
The Vision: A Cart Built Different
When we set out to build the ultimate custom golf cart, we knew we needed a platform that could match our ambitions. That platform is the Navitas Lifted Aluminum Chassis — and this is the story of how we build it, stage by stage, into something truly extraordinary.
Starting at $16,000, every cart we build is a one-of-a-kind machine tailored to the customer's exact vision. Here's a look at what goes into every build — and why this cart stands apart from everything else on the market.
Stage 1: The Foundation — Aluminum Chassis & Lift Kit
Every great build starts with the right bones. The Navitas Lifted Aluminum Chassis is constructed from high-strength, corrosion-resistant aluminum — a massive upgrade over the steel frames found on most production carts. This means:
- Significantly lighter overall weight for better efficiency and handling
- Superior resistance to rust, salt air, and moisture — ideal for Florida's climate
- A lifted stance that provides increased ground clearance for off-road and rough terrain use
- A precision-engineered frame designed for long-term structural integrity
This isn't a modified stock cart. It's a purpose-built platform designed from the ground up for performance and customization.
Stage 2: The Powertrain — Navitas AC System
At the heart of every build is the Navitas 600-Amp AC Controller paired with a 5kW AC Motor. This combination delivers:
- Instant torque for smooth, responsive acceleration
- The power to confidently climb steep hills and handle demanding terrain
- Greater energy efficiency compared to DC systems, extending your range
- Fully user-programmable speed and acceleration profiles, with top speeds exceeding 32 MPH — tuned exactly how you want to drive.
- Adjustable regenerative braking capability to recapture energy on downhill runs
Simply put, this is the most capable electric drivetrain available in a golf cart platform — and it's standard on every build.
Stage 3: Suspension & Braking — Engineered for Control
Performance means nothing without control. That's why every Navitas build includes:
- Independent Front Suspension (IFS) — absorbs bumps and uneven terrain for a dramatically smoother ride than traditional solid-axle carts
- Four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes — consistent, powerful stopping performance in all conditions
- Electric Motor Parking Brake — effortless, secure holding on any incline
Whether you're cruising a golf course, a neighborhood, or a trail, the ride quality and safety of this platform is in a class of its own.
Stage 4: Technology & Interior — The Smart Cart
This is where the Navitas truly separates itself from the competition. Standard on every build:
- 10-inch Touchscreen Display — monitor vehicle data in real time while enjoying seamless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration for full navigation, music, calls, and messaging from the driver's seat
- Touchscreen User Drivability Platform — full control over your cart's performance at your fingertips. Adjust top speed (MPH), fine-tune acceleration feel, and set regenerative braking intensity to match your terrain and driving style.
- Built-in Anti-Theft Security System — protect your investment wherever it's parked
No other golf cart on the market comes standard with this level of integrated technology.
Stage 5: Color & Customization — Make It Yours
This is where your personality comes in. We offer a growing selection of premium automotive-grade body colors and seat combinations — because your cart should look as good as it performs. Current color options include:
- Admiral Blue — a deep, rich navy with a premium metallic finish
- Cherry Metallic — bold and eye-catching with a brilliant metallic sheen
- Gunmetal Metallic — dark, aggressive, and undeniably sharp
- Forest Green — a classic, refined tone that turns heads on any terrain
- Silver Metallic — clean, modern, and timelessly premium
- Cement Gray — understated sophistication with an urban edge
- Frost White Metallic — crisp, clean, and striking in any setting
Don't see your color? We can match virtually any automotive paint color — if you can dream it, we can build it.
Pair your color with your choice of seat upholstery — light grey, rust, saddle brown, khaki, black, and more — to create a look that's completely your own.
