Perhaps more appropriately known as an E-Wagon, this baby G-Wagon is powered by a 15kW motor with a 10kWh lithium battery. Boasting an 80-mile range and a 35 MPH top speed, the Bodo is an enclosed, luxury golf cart that pampers occupants with heating and air conditioning, rear-seat entertainment, power windows, power locks and a posh, caramel-colored interior. With the Bodo fitted with power steering and 4-wheel power disc brakes with brake boost, drivers will think they\u2019re in a full-size G-Wagon, thanks to the multiscreen entertainment cluster, the rearview camera, windshield wipers, turn signals, running lights and so much more.<\/p>\n<p>Finished in black with the right amount of brightwork, the overall vibe is one of jaw-dropping, smile-inducing fun. While the Bodo would be an excellent choice for any golf community, it should also prove to be hugely popular around a race track or car condo community as well, or maybe even a neighborhood with its own airplane runways. Over the past decade in particular, the demand for unique, luxury golf carts has been on the rise, and understandably so. The number of luxury communities with specific interests in sports, aero and auto has also been on the rise, with people buying homes in these exclusive locations to better engage with like-minded people. All too often a golf cart is the perfect way to get around these gated neighborhoods, and this one is enclosed, comes with the amenities of a full-size car and is infinitely more stylish.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mecum.com\/lots\/1139445\/2024-bodo-g-wagon-golf-cart\/\">MECUM AUCTIONS<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>You can check out a few more photos of the 2024 Bodo G-Wagon <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2025\/01\/04\/awesomely-weird-alibaba-ev-of-the-week-a-7000-armored-golf-cart\/\">golf cart<\/a> that sold at Mecum, below \u2013\u00a0and if you want one for yourself, you\u2019re in luck!
