Re: i40L ICON Electric Street Legal Golf Cart
So what did you decide to do? I still havent pulled the trigger. Have been test driving more brands and still the Icon beats them all. Actually ran into a guy in my hometown that had one and he likes it. He said he was hesitant to buy since it was a new company, but he liked it enough to roll the dice. Since this thread started, has anyone had anymore experience with ICON? Any advice/info would be greatly apprciated.

Re: i40L ICON Electric Street Legal Golf Cart
After having many issues with Star Sirius (a story for another time)
Traded at my dealer for Icon I40...so far way outclasses the Sirius in quality and build. The brakes on the Sirius were junk quality. Under warranty repaired numerous times. Pulsing squealing brakes, shoes and drums replaced as well as brake actuator bar from brake pedal to cable harnes (bar was bent from factory) Swing arms sounded like they or shocks were broken or loose. These items were torqued down numerous times all under warranty...Siriusly a pile of junk! On to my new Icon I40. The toyota 4kw motor and the toyota controller are very smooth in response. The hydraulic 4 wheel disc brakes are a dream compared to the Sirius. I took delivery of my I40 with just 2.3 miles on odo. Now have 404 happy miles on it... Quality performance...Recommend it...in my hood there are 5 Icon I40s. The owner are all very satisfied with their I40s. In my hood there were 2 new Club Cars delivered about a year before, 1 was good the other has been to dealer for electrical problems. Dealer last we know has no solution yet. My dealer cannot keep the Icons in stock...they sell about as quick as they arrive. On the Iconev.com website there is a customer talking about his Icon and having gone down the road 30+ mph out of the box. Not sure how you plan on using you cart...there's not much needed to be done on it for extra go. In a very limited space mine hits 28 mph and still accelerating but not enough room to see full speed.. I highly recommend getting ScottyB's battery pack voltmeter. Icon has soc plus % of charge plus volt meter odo and speedometer. Icon volt meter tends to read .7 volts higher than my ScottyB voltmeter. The ScottyB volt meter is the standard!! |

Re: i40L ICON Electric Street Legal Golf Cart
My parents just bought an Icon to replace their EZ-Go and they're thrilled with it. They say it's fast, no issues, laid out well, sharp.
They have a retirement place in FL and all of their friends in the neighborhood have them too and are all happy. They haven't heard or had a complaint? I'm warming up to the idea... |

Re: i40L ICON Electric Street Legal Golf Cart
Traded a lifted 2016 Yamaha AC for the ICON '20 i40L. I have owned gas and electric carts from various manufacturers over the years and here is my unscientific 2 cents...One of the biggest pros is the sure footedness and disk brakes that come stock. We all know carts get a little top heavy as they are lifted, but the ICON handles great with little body roll in the turns. Torque is comparable to the other cart if not just a little better. The onboard charger is a nice feature, carry the plug with you and plug in wherever you are. One area of opportunity is the squeakiness of the top. They have rubber isolators at the top's attachment points which may be adding to the issue, but I have not been able to eliminate what I feel is an excessive amount of noise even after checking the tightness of the bolts.
Side note: If another ICON owner would do me a favor and lift up on the back right main roof pillar (big one behind the seat) and let me know if yours has about 1/8" of play in it, it would be much appreciated. I have not been back to my dealer to see if other carts have the same play or if mine is loose at an attachment point I haven't identified under the cart or if it is missing a bolt. |
