4 wheeler front end on an EZGO?
I have an old kawasaki Mojave 4 wheel chassis sitting here and I was wondering what the thoughts were on building a new frame section to uses the a arms and steering for a front end on my ezgo? I know the springs would probably be too week, but a have a pair of gas shocks for this and figure that I'm sure springs wouldn't be hard to come by,but the shocks might not be valved right either . Any thoughts?,And yes I have the fabrication skills to do this.I don't just want to graft the 4 wheeler chassis to the ezgo. I want to make new frame extentions and use the a-arms from the mojave.

Every part on the atv front end is engineered to work under a given load. Those loads increase with vehicle weight.

And the fact that a cart is probably a bit heavier than many ATVs.
It's done quite a bit. Use the search tool & you'll find quite a few guys who have done it. Question is how well do they last? And under what kind of abuse? |

Re: 4 wheeler front end on an EZGO?
A mojave weights 400# dry, about half of an ezgo.Designed to run 40-50mph over rough terrain and jumps.EZGO runs 20-25 mph over much smoother terrain, no jumps and probably 5mph over rough terrain as there is no way to hold the driver on the seat,HMMM. Now maybe if I was going to go dune blasting with an EZGO I might be worried about the strength of the mojave front end a little. I would much rather get feed back about what other people have ran into doing this ,but from what I have found so far no one has had problems with the strength of the swap
