What we do

The work, in detail.

New golf carts for sale — LVTong

Leisure carts, premium golf carts, lifted carts, utility ute carts, 2/4/6 seaters. Eco Battery Gen 3 lithium standard, 12-year pro-rata battery warranty.

Used golf carts and buggies

New is not the only option. Used and pre-loved carts come through alongside them, often as trade-ins. Second-hand golf buggies as well as new ones. What is on the floor changes, so call or drop into either branch and we will tell you what is there.

Lithium battery conversions and upgrades

Drop your old lead-acid bank, install a 51V Eco Battery or Fusion lithium pack. Battery, charger, state-of-charge meter and receptacle, with the BMS built into the pack. Eco Battery's published figures put lithium at about a third of the weight of lead-acid, with around three times the life expectancy.

Specialty carts and custom modifications

Hospitality, food and beverage, linen and medical carts are built by the supplier and ordered in to the configuration the job needs — tell us what it is for and we will spec the right one. The modifications, accessories and parts on top of that we fit here. Resort, retirement village, mine site, farm.

Sound systems, lighting and winches

Sound and audio fit-outs, lighting and beacons, winch fitting, and tyre and wheel packages. Tell us what you want on it and we will price the build.

Golf cart repairs, servicing and parts

Parts for all brands of cart, not just the ones we sell. We hold stock for EZGO RXV, Yamaha 48V and LVTong A627/A827/B827/S2-B-HP — solenoids, motor brakes, charger receptacles, controllers — and bring in parts for other makes as needed.

Golf cart accessories and covers

Covers, seats and windshields, cool-dry covers, wheels, steering wheel parts and F/R switches. Browse the parts shop or call for what's not listed.

Suspension, brakes and tyres

The premium carts run car-like suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Tyres and wheels to suit, whether the cart lives on a course, a farm track or a resort path.

Getting your cart to us

Most carts arrive at the workshop on a trailer, which is the simplest way to move one. If trailering it in is not workable at your end, ring us and we will talk through the options.

Where the carts go

We are in Townsville and Cairns, but the carts travel a lot further. We have supplied up the coast through Port Douglas and onto Cape York, south to Hervey Bay, and across to Darwin. If you are outside the region, ring us with what you are after and we will work out how to get it to you.

Four new LVTong golf carts lined up outside the Townlec Auto Electrical shopfront on Woolcock Street, each carrying a Sold sign

On the floor

Four out the front, all sold.

Four LVTong carts lined up on the apron at 448 Woolcock Street, every one of them with a Sold sign on the windscreen.

What sits out the front changes. Colours, seat counts and fit-outs vary with what has come in and what has gone out, so if you have something particular in mind it is worth ringing before you drive over.

Stock sits across both the Townsville workshop and the Cairns showroom. Tell us what you are after and we will tell you which one has it, and what we can get in if neither does.

Out in the world

Sold, delivered, and still running.

Carts we have sold, delivered and serviced, from the Daintree to the Tablelands. Every one of these is ours — no stock photography, no renders.

Two new LVTong golf carts, one red and one dark green, outside the Townlec workshop in Townsville with staff sitting in them — New LVTong stock landing in Townsville. Carts arrive pre-built and pre-delivery checked, so what you look at is what you drive away.

Four white LVTong utility carts loaded onto a tilt-tray truck outside the Townlec workshop, going out on hire — Four utility carts loaded on a tilt-tray, heading out on hire. Carts go out in numbers for events and sites — tell us how many you need and roughly when.

Two Townlec auto electricians working on the dash and controls of a red golf cart in the Townsville workshop — Dash out on a red cart. Carts get the same diagnostic approach as anything else that comes through the door — find the fault, then fix it.

A blue LVTong four-seater golf cart with Eco Battery lithium badging parked outside the Townlec workshop in Townsville — A blue four-seater on Eco Battery Gen 3 lithium, with alloy wheels, a cooler box and a folding rear seat.

A white LVTong utility cart with a tipping tray and an amber beacon parked at a caravan park — A utility cart with a tipping tray and a beacon, at a caravan park. Park and resort work is a lot of what these do.

A blue and a white LVTong golf cart parked on the verge in front of the Townlec Auto Electrical building on Woolcock Street, Townsville — A blue four-seater and a white utility cart on the verge at Woolcock Street. Carts sit out the front where you can walk around them.

Two sold LVTong carts loaded on a trailer inside the Townlec workshop, with SSB battery racking behind them — Loaded and waiting on the trailer. Behind them is the battery racking — the same building does carts, batteries and the auto electrical work.

The Townlec trade stand at a North Queensland field day with a red LVTong cart, a white utility cart and an electric UTV on display — The stand at a North Queensland field day — a golf cart, a utility cart and an electric UTV alongside the battery range.

Two Townlec staff either side of a golf cart with a Bluetooth sound bar fitted under the roof, one holding the remote — A sound bar fitted under the roof and wired in. Audio, lighting and beacons all get built into carts here.

A white LVTong six-seater utility golf cart with a Townlec staff member alongside and two people seated, parked at an industrial depot — A white six-seater on site. Carts like this shift people and gear around depots, resorts and big properties where a ute is more vehicle than the job needs.

A used white utility golf cart with an alloy tray, strapped down on the back of a flatbed truck — A second-hand utility cart with an alloy tray, strapped down and heading out. The seats have done some work and the tray has earned its keep.

A couple sitting in a teal lithium golf cart on a North Queensland golf course, golf bags loaded on the rear rack and water beyond — Out on the course with the clubs on the back, which is still what most carts get bought for.

Handed over

Carts that have found their people.

Carts going out the door with the people who bought them — our workshop, our staff, our customers, photographed on the day.

A Townlec staff member shaking hands with a customer beside a blue LVTong golf cart outside the Townsville workshop — A blue LVTong going home from Woolcock Street, handed over in person — which is what every photograph in this row has in common.

A Townlec staff member shaking hands with a customer beside a green second-hand golf cart loaded on a trailer at the Townsville workshop — A used cart going to a new owner, still wearing the last one's signage. Pre-loved carts come through alongside the new ones.

Townlec staff with customers beside a second-hand silver EZGO utility golf cart delivered to Tolga Caravan Park on the Atherton Tablelands — A second-hand EZGO utility, upgraded to lithium in store before it went north to Tolga Caravan Park. Their third cart from us — and not a brand we sell new, which is the point of holding parts for all of them.

A Townlec staff member shaking hands with a customer beside a pink LVTong golf cart loaded on a trailer — A pink four-seater loaded and strapped down. Colour is a choice, not a compromise — carts come in a lot more than white.

Two customers and a Townlec staff member beside a lifted dark blue golf cart with a cargo cage, loaded on a trailer inside the Townsville workshop — A lifted cart with a cargo cage, on the trailer inside the workshop. The battery racking behind it is the same building — carts, batteries and the auto electrical work all under one roof.

A Townlec staff member shaking hands with a customer beside a red LVTong golf cart on a trailer outside the Townsville shopfront — A red four-seater on the trailer out the front, under the Townlec sign. Drop in and you can walk around what is on the floor.

A Townlec staff member shaking hands with a man in hi-vis workwear beside a white utility golf cart at an industrial yard, a second worker looking on — A white utility cart handed over to a crew in hi-vis at their own yard. Site work is a lot of what these do — gear, tools and people, over ground a van would struggle with.

A Townlec staff member and a customer beside a teal LVTong golf cart strapped to a trailer outside the Townsville workshop, SSB battery banner behind — A teal four-seater strapped down and ready to tow, ratchets over the frame rather than the bodywork.

A Townlec staff member shaking hands with a customer beside a used cream golf cart in the workshop — A used cart handed over to its next owner in the workshop.

Lithium vs lead-acid

What changes when the lead comes out.

The upgrade most cart owners ask about. The differences below are general to the two battery types rather than to any one brand, and they show up in how the cart behaves day to day — not just in how far it goes.

Property	Lithium	Lead-acid
Topping up with water	None	Checked and topped up
Weight	Substantially lighter	Heavy
Voltage under load	Holds	Sags as it drains
Part charging	Top it up any time	Prefers a full charge
Left sitting flat	Tolerates it better	Sulfates and degrades
Usable capacity	Most of the pack	Around half before it suffers
Terminals	Sealed, no gassing	Vent, and corrode over time
Cycle life	Far longer	Shorter
Cost up front	Higher	Lower

Lead-acid still has a place. It costs less up front, and a cart doing light work on a short run may never ask for more. Lithium earns its keep on carts that work daily, carry weight, or spend their life on hills. Tell us how yours gets used and we will tell you straight whether the upgrade is worth it.

Know the symptoms

Signs your cart needs a look.

These are the common ways a golf cart tells you something is wrong — general to how carts are built rather than to any one brand. Lead-acid or lithium, LVTong, EZGO or Yamaha, the symptoms read much the same. Any of them is worth looking at before it strands you somewhere.

Two Townlec technicians working on a blue Club Car golf cart raised on a trolley jack in the Townsville workshop — A Club Car up on the jack in the workshop. We hold parts for all brands of cart, not only the ones we sell.

Won't hold charge overnight, or it's flat by morning
Range has dropped off — it used to do the round and now it doesn't
Slows right down on hills it used to climb
Cuts out under load, then comes good after a rest
Charger won't start, or stops before the pack is full
Goes in forward but not reverse, or the other way round
A click from under the seat and the cart doesn't move
Throttle is jerky, lags before it picks up, or surges
Batteries are hot, swollen, or the terminals are furred up
Takes longer to pull up than it used to

Recognise a few of those? Bring it in and we'll test it.

Why us

Why buy the cart from a workshop.

Parts on the shelf in Townsville and Cairns

We hold stock at both branches for EZGO RXV, Yamaha 48V and LVTong A627/A827/B827/S2-B-HP — solenoids, motor brakes, charger receptacles, controllers — and bring in parts for other makes as needed. A cart waiting on a part is a cart nobody can use.

Any brand, not just the ones we sell

Parts for all brands of cart, not only the ones on our floor. A cart that came from somewhere else gets the same diagnosis as one we sold — the way we go about finding the fault does not change with the badge on the front.

Auto electricians, not just cart sellers

A cart is an electric vehicle, and Townlec has been diagnosing vehicle electrical faults since 2008. Controllers, chargers, wiring and the intermittent that only happens on Tuesdays are the same trade on a smaller chassis.

Built and checked before you drive it

New carts arrive pre-built and pre-delivery checked. What you walk around on the floor is what you drive away, rather than something to be assembled at your end.

Somewhere to come back to

The Townsville workshop and the Cairns showroom are real places with people in them. Servicing, parts and the questions that come up a year later all have an address to go to.

We diagnose before we replace

A cart that will not go has a reason, and it is not always the batteries. Finding the fault first is the difference between a repair and a bill for parts that were working fine.

FAQ

Golf cart questions.

Is a golf buggy the same as a golf cart?+

Same vehicle, different word. Australians use both, and we answer to either. Everything on this page — new, used, servicing, parts and lithium upgrades — applies whichever you call it.

Where can I see the carts?+

Carts are at the Townsville workshop and in the Cairns showroom. Call or walk in — either is fine. Stock varies, so ringing first means we can tell you what's on the floor before you drive over. If the model you are after is not there, we can order it in.

Are they road-registrable?+

LSV (low-speed vehicle) variants are registrable in QLD with the right paperwork — we walk you through it. Standard golf carts are private-property only.

Do you hire golf carts?+

Yes. Tell us what you need it for, how many, and roughly when — we will put a quote together to suit.

Do you repair golf carts and supply spare parts?+

Yes — service and repairs on carts, and we can source spare parts as needed. Bring it in, or send us the model details and what it is doing.

Can I trade in my old cart?+

Often yes. Send us photos and the model details.

Do you work on carts you didn't sell?+

Yes. We hold parts for EZGO RXV, Yamaha 48V and LVTong at both Townsville and Cairns, and bring in parts for other makes as needed. The brand on the front does not decide whether we can help.

Can any golf cart be converted to lithium?+

Most can. Eco Battery's own fitment guide names EZGO, Club Car, Yamaha and ICON among the brands its kits suit, and we fit them to LVTong carts as well. Send us the make, model and battery voltage and we will confirm the fit before quoting.

How do I get my cart to you?+

Most arrive on a trailer. If you have not got one, or the cart will not roll at all, ring us before you organise anything — a cart that cannot be pushed on has to be loaded differently, and it is worth sorting that out first.

Do you deliver outside Townsville and Cairns?+

Yes. Buy a cart from us and we can get it anywhere freight can get to. Carts have gone up the coast through Port Douglas and onto Cape York, south to Hervey Bay, and across to Darwin. Tell us where you are and what you are after, and we will work out how to get it to you.

Can you fit lights, indicators and a sound system?+

Yes. Sound and audio fit-outs, lighting and beacons, winches, and tyre and wheel packages. Tell us what you want on it and we will price the build.

What is the difference between a 2, 4 and 6 seater?+

Seat count and length, mostly. A two-seater suits a course or a small property. A four-seater is the common family and resort choice. A six-seater is the people-mover of the range and suits sites shifting crews or guests. Utility versions swap the rear seats for a tray.

How long does a lithium pack last?+

Eco Battery Gen 3 carries a 12-year pro-rata warranty — pro-rata meaning the cover reduces over the term rather than staying full replacement for twelve years. How long one actually lasts comes down to how it's charged and how deeply it's cycled.
