The 2005 EZGO lineup is built around the TXT, EZ-GO's best-selling workhorse — a durable 2-passenger cart on a steel frame that's easy to service and endlessly upgradable.
Many 2005 carts carry the TXT Freedom package, a factory upgrade that added street-friendly features like headlights, taillights, a horn, and a fold-down windshield. Both standard TXT and Freedom versions were offered in electric and gas.
The 2005 electric TXT is a 36-volt cart powered by six 6-volt batteries and EZ-GO's PDS (Precision Drive System) solid-state controller, giving smooth acceleration and a run/tow switch. Top speed is around 12–15 mph stock.
The gas option uses a 4-cycle single-cylinder engine (roughly 350cc) for buyers who prefer longer range and quick refueling over charging. Both are simple, reliable drivetrains with cheap, widely available parts.
A 2005 cart is likely on its second or third battery set by now, so batteries are the first thing to check on an electric model. A healthy 36V pack should hold voltage under load, not just at rest — test it on a drive, not idling.
Budget about $800–$1,200 for a fresh set of six 6-volt batteries if the current pack is tired. Price any cart with weak batteries accordingly, and consider a lithium conversion if you want lighter weight and longer life.
Test the batteries under load, take a test drive to confirm smooth, hesitation-free PDS operation, and check the frame and floorboard for rust. Confirm the brakes are firm and the charger is included and completes a full cycle.
On gas models, listen for a clean idle and check for oil leaks. Verify the model year using the serial number under the seat, and ask our team for help evaluating any 2005 EZGO before you buy.
A 2005 EZGO (typically a TXT) usually sells for $1,500–$5,000 depending on electric vs gas, condition, and battery age. Reconditioned carts with fresh batteries and clean bodywork bring the higher end.
The 2005 EZ-GO TXT electric model is 36 volts, using six 6-volt batteries with the PDS drive system. EZ-GO later moved the TXT to 48 volts.
The TXT Freedom is a factory upgrade package that added street-friendly features such as headlights, taillights, a horn, and a fold-down windshield to the standard TXT.
