Augusta, Ga. - September 18, 2012 - E-Z-GO®, a Textron Inc. company and a leading global manufacturer of light-transportation vehicles, announces that the "E-Z-GO Experience" application for the Apple iPad is now available for download from the Apple App Store. The app allows consumers to determine the best E-Z-GO vehicle to suit their lifestyle, customize that vehicle with a range of available E-Z-GO Genuine Parts & Accessories, and solicit quotes from E-Z-GO Authorized Dealers in their region.
"We are excited to offer 'The E-Z-GO Experience' to help consumers find and build the E-Z-GO vehicle that's right for them," said Sanjay Kopay, vice president, aftermarket sales and support, for E-Z-GO. "This application provides consumers with a fast, user-friendly method to learn about the complete line of E-Z-GO consumer vehicles, select the best model for them, optimize it for their needs, and find dealers near where they live, all from the comfort of their couch."
The "E-Z-GO Experience" will help customers determine the best E-Z-GO vehicle for their lifestyle, depending on how many passengers the vehicle needs to carry, the types of terrain where the vehicle will be used, and other factors. Consumers will be able to view and compare the many different models within the E-Z-GO Freedom® line of personal golf cars and the E-Z-GO Terrain™ and Express™ lines of personal utility vehicles.
Once the user has selected their model, they can use the "E-Z-GO Experience" app to customize the vehicle further, selecting everything from their preferred paint color and tire and wheel configuration to a range of options and accessories, such as mirrors, gloveboxes, brushguards, fender flares, windshields, roofs, and even solar panels to recharge electric vehicle batteries using the sun's energy.
After the user has built the E-Z-GO vehicle of their dreams, they can use the app's dealer locator to find the E-Z-GO Authorized Dealer in their area, and directly e-mail that dealer the details of their specific vehicle's requirements to receive a price quote.
"The E-Z-GO Experience" is compatible with all versions of the iPad, and is available for free download at the Apple App Store. For more information about E-Z-GO and its complete line of golf cars and utility vehicles, visit ezgo.com or join the company's Facebook community at facebook.com/4ezgo.
