My 2020 Icon I40 review
This is my 7 golf cart I have owned. I have owned a Club Car, Ezgo, and last was a Yamaha AC cart. Hands down the Icon I40 is the best cart ever built IMO. Its fast, handles well, disk brakes are amazing. The cart will top out at 29 MPH without feeling like its squirmy like my Yamaha was when I put the new medium gear in it to do 27mph. A friend of mine has the high gear where the Yamaha does 35 MPH but I will tell you it does not feel safe at all. Comes LSV ready with seat belts, side mirrors, lights, etc. It is fully. loaded.
Also, another plus is no more charging box its built into the cart. Just plug it in and all is well. I also upgraded to 12" GTW Specter wheels with the GTW Fusion DOT steel belt tires. These tires make the cart feel more confident on the road. Well worth the upgrade. The part that amazes me is that these carts are priced right and will beat out any other option out there. This is by far the best built already street legal cart on the market. Take my advice pass on the Yamaha and give a Icon. I40 a ride. You will be happy you did. I'm glad I did. |

Re: My 2020 Icon I40 review
Just bought the exact same cart today, same color scheme. Will be delivered in about 2 weeks. How were the stock wheels? Mine is coming with Wanda 18x8.00-10 | 205/50R10 tires.

Stock Wanda tires are very smooth and the wheels you get are standard on all I40s unless you ask the dealer for a different set for appearance. I almost did... |

Re: My 2020 Icon I40 review
I agree with the review above. I have owned several carts, two TXT's, two RXV's, a Precedent, a GEM (if that counts) I currently also have a 72 volt EZ-GO L6 that I love.
Bought a 2020 Icon I60 for a second home in South FL. This cart is amazing for the price. Quieter, smoother, and faster than my L6 (on flat roads....on hills the L6 would smoke it) It also feels better built which is surprising. The range is quite good 20+ miles running 25-30 mph with Trojans (again this is on flat roads which is all I have to run on in S FL). I am shocked by how much I like this thing. Honestly, if EZGO sold an L6 that could be easily reprogrammed to 25+ mhp I wouldn't have even considered this cart (but they don't). If you want an out of the box 30 mph cart this cart is great. The one caveat would be the dealer network. In FL you have no issues as it seems there are dealers everywhere and Icon is based in Tampa. I would not have bought this cart if I lived in an area without easy access to a dealer. |

I do see the need for the dealer to reprogram little bits or diagnose any defects from the assembly or manufacturing, but as long as there aren't any initial issues, I don't see needing to talk to the dealer again. |

Re: My 2020 Icon I40 review
I have had no issues so no visits to the dealer after the purchase so far. I still stand by my statement, I would not choose an Icon with no dealer available especially if there is a CC/EZGO/Yamaha dealer close by. It would just tip the scales too far away from the Icon.
What good is a warranty if there is no dealer available to perform warranty service? |
