I build custom carts for a living, and that price point seems reasonable for what I see. That charger is a C4825 Evolution charger. I've installed many. It's a great charger. Please do more videos of this cart. And a note, your cart has front and rear disc brakes, which is a huge upgrade on a cart. Majority are drum rears. That windshield is a cheap knock off. Purchase a real DOT windshield with the proper thickness and it will reduce the rattling by a ton. Cheers!!
Thanks for all of that info! Do you have a recommendation on a better windshield? This one does like to rattle. I’ll keep the videos coming on it. We did one one making mock scrapes recently where it was the star of the show. Thanks for watching!
@@Gokywildcats11 I have never built a 4x4 yet.. It's not a customer demand for sure. Yes I've done and worked on the gas motors and predator. They definitely increase speed and torque. It's not crazy difficult. Just need fabrication on some brackets and small stuff.
Just purchased one in clinton il. They had on sale for 7500 and gave me 10 percent more off for applying for there card. 6750. Great price. In last two days we put 43 miles on it and are down to 27 percent on charge. Love it so far.
I invested in a 1900 Honda gas generator that I keep in the back of our electric for emergencies. And it has saved us on a few occassions! If the electric dies out, fire up the generator for 15 minutes and you have enough juice to get back home! Nice cart/buggy!!
I have always wanted an electric cart with a solar panel top. They have those flexible panels now, or maybe premade tops now. A little generator would work too. I love it.
I bought one today. Tractor supply in my area is awesome. They gave me a military discount on this. I sure hope parts are available. Still researching.
HECK YEAH!!! Congratulations man! If you feel comfortable send a pic to me with you on that new ride! Can't wait to hear what you think of it. I think it is a heck of a machine!
@@JoeTheFarmer yeah keep us updated on this cart. Tractor supply had some issues with some of the atv and side by sides they sold. Like to hear some positive news about this
Sounds great! I haven’t been able to find one yet at any of the Tractor Supply stores locally in Alabama. I’ve been wondering when they will be more available.
Down in the southern states, a lot of golf carts are the only way to get around. Also at those huge tractor, farming, gatherings meets on mile after mile of display items, these carts are the only way to go. Just getting your mail far out at the end of the driveway would make you want on of these. Nice video of a very nice RACKA Golf Cart.
Thanks for watching brother. This thing is sharp man. I have an ev side by side but this machine just has so much pep. Also, quiet as a mouse. It’s definitely going to the stand this season!
We just bought this same cart. We feel just like you about it. I put 2 self tapping screws in the windshield to firmly attach it to the frame and got rid of a lot of the rattle. That is our only complaint. Great value.
Thanks for sharing! It’s a great cart for sure. We are purposely being tough on it and it’s taking what I can give it. Will have more videos up soon putting it to work. Thanks for watching!
Not sure if you meant me; but we are in Middle Tennessee. I would ask your store manager to get one for a demo. This is a brand new unit so may take a little time to get out there.
I have a sized by side with an aftermarket windshield that rattled a bit. I put a couple of pieces of adhesive foam weatherstripping that you can get in different widths at a hardware store between the windshield and frame. I doesn’t scratch the windshield and stops the noise. Also that golf club rack on the rear looks like it would be a great rifle support for shooting or hunting with a bit of padding on it to protect the finish of your guns.
I was just checking these out at Tractor Supply yesterday. Need something for my country roads farm get-around purposes. I need to be able to bring my two labs. They have one with a little truck bed on the back.
It really is a VERY nice cart. And for the price and looks hard to beat. Been very durable so far on the farm. Haven’t broken anything yet! Lol. Thanks for watching. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
It looks like a lot of value depending on part’s availability. If you look at the resale of carts , older gas carts sell for more then a newer model year electric cart. The cost of replacing batteries and larger communities needing more distance leaves a lot of battery carts being sold for gas. Batteries never die at the right time. I load four people on my Yamaha UMAX with plenty of power and it is a lot more between a golf cart and a side by side.
All good points. The replacement batteries have gotten less expensive and even a lithium upgrade is about $2k now so thats not too bad. But so far been a solid machine, and it is probably not made for what we do with it! Will keep you posted.
That's a nice looking cart! We've been hunting out of a golf cart for years on our property. They're great! My only issue is the kids taking it out when it isn't charged enough and getting stranded on the back side of the property. 😂
Great question, I looked for that first thing. It does not. There are after market hitch options out there and zi don’t doubt it could pull a cart behind it. Just haven’t gotten to it yet. Thanks for watching!
Is there a Joe The Farmer discount. Got to love this weather. That is what you meant when you said a golf cart would suit me better. 😂 Always something in the works that's why I enjoy watching your channel.
I bought an icon IL 40 with Lithuim batteries and love it. I cruise the hood and use mine to pull my lawn cart. it was perfect and I saved 10 grand on a side by side. It’s road legal ( under 25 mph) and fits my needs.
That is EXACTLY what I am hoping this video series will bring to the table. Some folks absolutely need a stout side by side. But the golf cart is absolutely a contender for most and for $8k you can buy two or three of them for the price of 1 side by side. I’ll have a cool video out soon comparing gas/ev/diesel and an atv. Should be fun! Thanks for sharing and watching!
Good review. Tough to find info about these here in Florida. If you get a chance on the next video, raise the seat so we can see the batteries. I didn’t catch the quantity or if they were AGM or Lead Acid. I doubt they were lithium. I think the hill climb would be dramatically better if they were.
As a guy that would use this for semi-all terrain use the only thing I saw that jumped out at me was the double USB ports that were surface up mounted low on the body and near the sides...how will those perform after a drenching rain when someone accidently left the plugs out? Also as others have mentioned...the test dummies never got it off the blacktop or they would have added edging to prevent the rattling...Overall seems impressive!
The usb’s are plugged pretty tight; but right. A solid rain in there and then what. I have fixed a lot of the rattles and will keep tweaking it but no engine noise is a big deal. The camera also picks up the rattles far worse than they sound in person; but fair is fair. It rattles on a rough and bumpy farm. Regardless, built very well and I have seen far worse for twice the price. Thanks for watching my friend!
I just bought one of these and I Love it! One question.....do you know what a 2E error code is and what causes it. I have gotten that code a few times and then the golf cart stops. I have to turn it off and on again to get it to go.
Hey Roy! Congrats man! I’m not sure what that means. Haven’t seen it. Does it reference that in the manual? Wonder if it is a seat belt thing? Keep us posted!
@@JoeTheFarmer Thanks for answering so quickly! I looked it up in the manual and a 2E code is "Drive 7 output overcurrent". I don't know what would cause it.
I was told the southeast Tractor Supply stores will not get the Racka carts. They will all stay with the Massimo carts through 2024. Have you heard what stores will carry theses?
So, honest question. What service would an electric golf cart need that I cannot do? I have two electric machines on the farm and the only thing that they will need is batteries in the future. Yes grease, diff fluid change, etc. But that’s all super easy. Am I missing something?
@joethefarmer any thoughts on parts or repair? I have scoured the internet. I can not find a parts supplier for these carts. I also contacted the supplier in TX asking about parts via email - Its been radio silence from them for over a week. I like these but thinking down the road for service has me on the fence
It’s basically a Tao cart. Identical to the Coleman. The body just has a different look. There will be tons of parts, they build thousands of these things.
@@JoeTheFarmer I checked and all I see is a connector for the rear lights. I have the newer model where the charger is built in. I'm not sure if you have the same model or not.
@daviddavis9025 mine is the first gen, but have said the same to others and they said it worked. Put some ear plugs in, throw it in reverse and unplug it. If the beeping stops you got it! Lol.
@JoeTheFarmer alot of ev golf carts have a switch wit storage in the winter to keep the batters from draining I can find nothing on the racka golf cart
We have had our Racka for 6 weeks now. Very nice cart and super quiet. How do you disconnect the reverse switch and which inside front basket did you purchase?
Hey! Too big for the back of a pickup. Its full size for sure. Wouldn’t have an issue climbing a ramp at all! Check out recent side by side comparison video and you’ll see it going up a steep hill!
Great questions. No hitch on it but I will likely add one aftermarket. Payload not sure. I wouldn’t think much. It has lots of power for an electric cart, but I wouldn’t put 500lbs on the seat folded over on any golf cart. Couple hundred pounds prob fine. I’ll look and see if there is a payload tag.
Yes!!! It is tucked under the rear drivers side tire. Next to the electric motor. I am SO glad it’s disconnected now! Lol. Let me know if you have any trouble on it.
My grandparents just got this golf cart and it's all fine and great. We fixed all the sweeking noises but we cannot figure out how the adjust the headlights for the life of me. It's pointed so up it blinds everyone on the road and the light bar was pointed downward which we fixed. If anyone knows how to fix it, please do. The owners manual doesn't mention any adjustments to the headlight housing.
Glad you all like it! Not sure how or if the headlights can be adjusted but yes, the light bar was simple. Appreciate you watching! I’ll have a 4 mo review out on it this week so hope you will come back. 👍🏼👊🏼
Totally fair; but honest question would be what will go wrong with an electric cart? Batteries or motor are a possibility or the led display; but they are so simple. I would say look into a service center close to you that honors the warranty before purchasing and that should ease the concern. Thanks for watching John!
Love the review, but can’t find this cart or any Racka brand on the Tractor Supply website. Any help? Do you have a link for this vehicle at Tractor Supply?
No link buddy but it will be rolling out. Limited stores have it now but more will get it. Others have asked their store manager to get one and its gotten there pretty fast. Appreciate you watching my friend!
Great video, the cart looks great. I have both a golf cart, 4-wheelers and a Polaris Ranger and the cart gets way more use. I was/am concerned about the quality of this assuming it is chinese made. My Ezgo is still great after 20 years, will this do the same, time will tell, please keep us posted? So I started researching and interesting enough I can't even find this cart anywhere even at TSC. So how hard would it be to get parts and service? I am just reluctant to get an off brand for something that should last a long time and will need service and parts down the road. Keep the great content coming, Good luck
Hey! You sound like me. Plenty of options but the cart seems to be the go to for quick trips. And you are right, the jury is out on how it will stand up over the years. Only time will tell. We plan to be tough on it, and will share the honest results. Appreciate you watching!
Subscribed! Thank you for the great video coverage. I cannot seem to find that same cart for sale? I would buy one just like this one, 4 wheel Disc brakes, turn signals & 25 MPH. Just not seeing any RACKA's out there to match same product???
Hey! It's a nice cart, but a new one is coming out shortly that you may want to look at. These are sold is select Tractor Supply stores and it is nearly identical to the Coleman carts. Same manufacturer. Hope that helps!
@@JoeTheFarmer, thank you sir! Due to lack of finding that cart, I found & bought the 2024 Revolution D5 Ranger and so far I’m very happy with it. Thanks for reaching out though!👍🏼
Has two wires I believe. Above the rear drivers side wheel by the motor. Should unplug easily. Put it in reverse and when the alarm stops you know you got the right one! 👍🏼
Boy I loved to get a 6 or 8 seater I know I would love e gold cart but it’s probaly very very illegal in the Portland Oregon area where I live top speed 25 mph damn to bad it isn’t higher
@@JoeTheFarmer I mean my area it’s to big so to be regrister it would have to go 30 35 maybe even 40 for me just to go to the movie and I want to go somewhere needing the highway it wouldn’t work anyways
We have been pretty hard on it and it’s taken a beating so far. I’m really partial to it! Plenty of stuff to drive around but I keep going for the Racka. Lol
Its time to bring out the 15-foot Titan Batwing. Like Golf Cart ; I didn't know that you played golf.... Hope your going well! We get some cooler weather I'm going to start hunting got a trip to Ohio late October!! Are y'all having any problems or new regulation in this CWD?
Don’t really play golf buddy; but I’ll drive a golf cart! Love this weather man. So nice! No real issues on cwd for us yet but sure it’s coming. Good luck out there!
Joe is this 1 wheel, 2 wheel, or 4 wheel drive? I have a Polaris EV 4 whee drive I use for hunting all the time. I also have a Polaris Ranger 1000 gas I use for food plot work etc., but use the EV all the time on the property to reduce my noice as it does not seem nearly as invasive. Thanks, Bob
Hey Bob; that is a great question. I need to figure that out. My guess is one rear wheel but need to confirm. My ev is also 4wd which I have never had to use to get to the stand. But it’s nice to have. Also twice the price! Lol
@rfb7117 well; this is what will be fun about testing this one out. I have a few more videos coming out where it was put through the typical paces. Trying to grab the Racka for everyday chores as opposed to the other machines. No real issues so far other than lack of a true bed. But I wan work around that.
Depending on elevation be sure to check on how the machine will work in higher altitudes. I have heard of some folks on tall mountains needing to make adjustments to their machine. If not that high, then no big deal.
@@JoeTheFarmer we have a neighbor that can make it with his side by side but his machine is the equivalent to a 4 door. We need a side by side (2 seater) with a dump bed and a 4X4. We get 5-7 feet of snow every winter.
A neighbor drove up in one of these last week - I was gobsmacked with her golf cart! I have been looking for it online but didn’t know the name. I was searching for Badass Golfcart and Big Sexy Golf Cart 😂. Then the RUclips Algorithm sent me this video. Thank you for posting!
🤣🤣🤣. That algorithm seems to know its business! They are very sharp looking carts and a lot of fun to drive. We have more videos with it making appearances so check those out if you like! Thanks for watching!
When will this be available at TSC, I watched this and then went there. The Sales people had no clue how I could buy one. TSC web site does not show it available.
They are adding new stores but if you ask the manager to order one they will send it to your store. They are usually in store only. What is your local TSC?
Hey! No, very similar to the Coleman. The Massimo is a totally different cart. But has tons of options! Both pretty crazy value at 8k. Thanks for watching!
I have a old gas cart. It uses all most no gas. shuts off on its own every time you stop. So my question is how much $ to keep it fully charged ready to go every day?
Probably not much to be honest. I have used it all day and haven’t been below 70%. If fully depleted it would prob add up. I am going to do a generator test to see how long it takes to charge it with a smaller inverter genny. I am no Bill Nye the science guy, just a dude that geeks out on cool gear.
I can’t find it online yet, and will have to call around (my local tractor supply doesn’t have it). We are trying to see if it’ll fit in our toy hauler.
What are YOUR thoughts on the Racka Golf Cart?!?
Check Out More Videos Here! ==> www.youtube.com/@JoeTheFarmer?sub_confirmation=1
I build custom carts for a living, and that price point seems reasonable for what I see. That charger is a C4825 Evolution charger. I've installed many. It's a great charger. Please do more videos of this cart. And a note, your cart has front and rear disc brakes, which is a huge upgrade on a cart. Majority are drum rears. That windshield is a cheap knock off. Purchase a real DOT windshield with the proper thickness and it will reduce the rattling by a ton. Cheers!!
Thanks for all of that info! Do you have a recommendation on a better windshield? This one does like to rattle. I’ll keep the videos coming on it. We did one one making mock scrapes recently where it was the star of the show. Thanks for watching!
Ever built a 4x4 golf cart. Hav e ever done the predator motor swap amazing on those motors
@@Gokywildcats11 I have never built a 4x4 yet.. It's not a customer demand for sure. Yes I've done and worked on the gas motors and predator. They definitely increase speed and torque. It's not crazy difficult. Just need fabrication on some brackets and small stuff.
What. Mods can be done do it make it faster. Thenicko
So how do I get this cart? I am not seeing it on Tractor Supply Website.
Just purchased one in clinton il. They had on sale for 7500 and gave me 10 percent more off for applying for there card. 6750. Great price. In last two days we put 43 miles on it and are down to 27 percent on charge. Love it so far.
Hey Chris! That's a heck of a price. It's a fun cart and should serve you well. Appreciate you watching!
How is it 5 months later ?
I invested in a 1900 Honda gas generator that I keep in the back of our electric for emergencies. And it has saved us on a few occassions! If the electric dies out, fire up the generator for 15 minutes and you have enough juice to get back home! Nice cart/buggy!!
Great recommendation man. Getting stranded would not be ideal a mile from home. Lol. Plus, want to see how the genny would charge it up
I have always wanted an electric cart with a solar panel top. They have those flexible panels now, or maybe premade tops now. A little generator would work too. I love it.
@liquidrockaquatics3900 would be awesome!
Didn’t think of that
First video of Joe's I have seen. Just had to say, What a beautiful place he's got! There's a lot of time just in the mowing. 👍👍

@@doncook5221The TSC in Haines City, FL has them. I first saw it there about a month ago.
Great Video Joe! I can’t wait until our new Tractor Supply opens so I can check one out. It’s still surreal that we are getting one in my hometown.
That’s exciting! I went to one yesterday and there was a bunch of equipment. Glad to see the supply chain problems are fixed!
I can't find this on the tractor supply website

I’m interested to see how the batteries do in the winter cold. The price is right and it looks great. I hope it handles the cold.
So far so good and it got COLD this winter. Time will tell of course, but been solid so far!
Would love a video on the battery maintenance.
I believe they are sealed, no maintenance
I like it! Good Video as usual!
Thanks Colton!
Specs meet the Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) requirements exactly. Makes it street legal in most states. Looks great.
It really is a VERY nice cart. And for the price and looks hard to beat. Been very durable so far on the farm. Haven’t broken anything yet! Lol. Thanks for watching. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Where do you find these things? Don't seem to be on internet anywhere. And not on Tractor Supply website
Limited stores will have them; ask your manager for one and they can get it to your store
kandi amerca has some 45mph cars that look similar. i was keeping an eye on the k27 microcar. it looked kinda fun.
I've seen them, and they look really cool. The microcar is super cool. Wonder if it would work offroad?
That's a nice looking cart! We've been hunting out of a golf cart for years on our property. They're great! My only issue is the kids taking it out when it isn't charged enough and getting stranded on the back side of the property. 😂
🤣🤣🤣. I definitely see my kids doing that to me VERY soon. Do you park close to the stand and walk in or right to the stand?
@@JoeTheFarmer we're able to drive right up under most of our stands, a few we have to park close by and walk to.
@oldmanoldtruck That’s awesome!
@oldmanoldtruck I have another “farm tool” up my sleeve that I can’t wait to show you all. Will DEFINITELY help with that. 😉
Wow, what a nice vehicle, thank you for sharing
Thanks Mike!
Looks awesome!
Its a great machine! Especially for the money!
How do you unplug the back up alarm.
Under the rear drivers side wheel well. But “I don’t recommend it!” 😜🫣👍🏼
How do you disable the reverse beep? Didn’t catch that in video…
Under the rear drivers side wheel well. There’s a harness by the motor. Unplug the harness and you’re good. 👊🏼
Does it have a tow hitch?
Great question, I looked for that first thing. It does not. There are after market hitch options out there and zi don’t doubt it could pull a cart behind it. Just haven’t gotten to it yet. Thanks for watching!
Have had my Racka for month and I love it. I took my golf rack off and lost my bed…want have others used to keep bed up!
That’s awesome! Where do you use it primarily? Neighborhood?
Taking corn to my stands
Awesome!!!

Thanks buddy! And YOU were the one I was referring to but didn’t want to say your name for privacy
@JoeTheFarmer thank you I think that would do all yard work I do mulch and what ever.
@mileshiles1287 absolutely
Have you tested it on the same hills with 1 or two additional people, or with a load of bagged corn or fertilizer?
I haven’t; but i am sure it would be affected. It is just a golf cart at the end pf the day.
I bought an icon IL 40 with Lithuim batteries and love it. I cruise the hood and use mine to pull my lawn cart. it was perfect and I saved 10 grand on a side by side. It’s road legal ( under 25 mph) and fits my needs.

Do it come with a rear view mirror? I see it on the owners manual but mine didn’t come with it.
Mine did. It was in the storage box when I got it.
Just purchased one, we live in a small rural town and is going to be great to not have to use our gas vehicles.
Congratulations! Been fun to ride for sure.
I want one of these! I looked on the tractor supply website but didn't see this model. Do you have a link for this golf cart?
Depending on where you are located ask your store manager to request one. They should be able to get one to your store.
Joe I have a golf cart here on my farm and I hardy drive my UTV.
It’s amazing how comfortable and simple it is. Nice to have the quiet. I’ll do a video on accessories and fixing the roof rattle
In what country is it manufactured?
I’m sure it’s China.
Did you figure out how to stop the backing sound?
Yep, under the rear drivers side wheel by the electric motor there is a wire harness. Just disconnect and it kills the backup alarm. 👍🏼
That looks like so much fun and I love how quiet it is. The fold down rear seat is a plus! You could always put solar panels on the roof. ;-)
Now there’s an idea!!! Endless power
No, than you have to install a charge controller and inverter.
Dang it. Was fun while it lasted. Lol
Can buy an all in one EcoFlow electric generator and their solar panels.
I just got a golf cart off Amazon last week, also $8k, love it, definitely making my life easier 😍
That is awesome! Congrats!
I BOUGHT ONE LAST WEEK ....SAME CART BUT WHERE DO I GET PARTS LIKE BREAK PADS
I would contact the manufacturer. They can help with parts availability.
Joe, hope all is well! That is one very nice golf cart, can’t wait to see it decked out for hunting
Whats up Joe!!! Hope all is well brother. Thanks for watching. Yeah; it’s pretty set up as is but I’ll add a few small touches. 😉👍🏼

Here in north Alabama our TSC stores aren't showing them on the website.
They are going to be in select stores only. But if you want to see one your local manager should be able to get one.

Hey joe what are you doing with that lush forage
The hay? I’ll cut it down to give back to the fields. Never got to a 3rd cut.
As a guy that would use this for semi-all terrain use the only thing I saw that jumped out at me was the double USB ports that were surface up mounted low on the body and near the sides...how will those perform after a drenching rain when someone accidently left the plugs out? Also as others have mentioned...the test dummies never got it off the blacktop or they would have added edging to prevent the rattling...Overall seems impressive!

I just bought one of these and I Love it! One question.....do you know what a 2E error code is and what causes it. I have gotten that code a few times and then the golf cart stops. I have to turn it off and on again to get it to go.
Hey Roy! Congrats man! I’m not sure what that means. Haven’t seen it. Does it reference that in the manual? Wonder if it is a seat belt thing? Keep us posted!
@@JoeTheFarmer Thanks for answering so quickly! I looked it up in the manual and a 2E code is "Drive 7 output overcurrent". I don't know what would cause it.
@roytaylor4578 Not sure, I would call the manufacturer just to be sure. And happy to!
@@JoeTheFarmer Hi Joe! The 2E error code turned out to be an electrical issue. Tractor Supple exchanged my Golf Cart for a new one!
@roytaylor4578 hey! Sorry to hear you had an issue but great that TSC made it right! Thanks for sharing .
Hello, Have looked and I Tractor Supply does not handle these---Racka RGC1 carts? You got more info???
They are rolling out in limited stores. If you ask your local store manager to get one they can get one. Great cart, especially for the money!
I was told the southeast Tractor Supply stores will not get the Racka carts. They will all stay with the Massimo carts through 2024. Have you heard what stores will carry theses?
I haven’t heard who will carry them; but if you want one they are paying attention to that. Even for a demo. They can get one to your store.
The store in Bluffton, SC has them in stock. They just don’t service them. Deal breaker.
So, honest question. What service would an electric golf cart need that I cannot do? I have two electric machines on the farm and the only thing that they will need is batteries in the future. Yes grease, diff fluid change, etc. But that’s all super easy. Am I missing something?
@@JoeTheFarmer @ThePeteutube The biggest issue would be getting warranty work done.
Hi Joe. Can you connect a trailer hitch to it?
Hey, not sure why not. Doubt it will tow much…but a small trailer would probably work.
@@JoeTheFarmer thank you! yeah I just need to find one for my wife when she transports plants across the property.
Should do that without any issues at all.
Man nice vid! I had no idea these were out there. Im getting one for the same reason you got it.
Thanks for watching! Appreciate the kind words. They are limited right now but man it is nice! Been trying to break it but can’t. Lol!
@joethefarmer any thoughts on parts or repair? I have scoured the internet. I can not find a parts supplier for these carts. I also contacted the supplier in TX asking about parts via email - Its been radio silence from them for over a week. I like these but thinking down the road for service has me on the fence
It’s basically a Tao cart. Identical to the Coleman. The body just has a different look. There will be tons of parts, they build thousands of these things.
@@JoeTheFarmer thats logical just like finding parts for a Ford Crown Vic. Ty for the reply👍
Have you done a video where you disable the backup beep? We just bought one yesterday and that thing has to go!
Haven’t done a video. It’s above the rear driver side wheel well. There’s a connector, disconnect that.
@@JoeTheFarmer I checked and all I see is a connector for the rear lights. I have the newer model where the charger is built in. I'm not sure if you have the same model or not.
@daviddavis9025 mine is the first gen, but have said the same to others and they said it worked. Put some ear plugs in, throw it in reverse and unplug it. If the beeping stops you got it! Lol.
Looks great. Thank u for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I dont see this cart available, is this a preproduction module? Maybe just not available in my area.
Its not in all areas yet; but if you request it from a store manager they should be able to get one 👍🏼
Could you explain where the storage mode on this racka golf cart is?
Not sure what you are referring to.
@JoeTheFarmer alot of ev golf carts have a switch wit storage in the winter to keep the batters from draining I can find nothing on the racka golf cart
@kelly44444444 I don’t think it has that. The onboard charger likely trickle charges it.
@@JoeTheFarmer I know u can't find any thing on these carts
It's identical to the Coleman. Just rebranded as Racka for TSC. Both made by Tao motors.
We have had our Racka for 6 weeks now. Very nice cart and super quiet. How do you disconnect the reverse switch and which inside front basket did you purchase?
Glad you are enjoying it. Nice cart, especially for the money. Basket link is in our amazon store. Link is attached! www.amazon.com/shop/joethefarmer
It looks pretty good. If it had a low range it would be tempting. Will it climb ramps to put it in the back of a pickup?
Hey! Too big for the back of a pickup. Its full size for sure. Wouldn’t have an issue climbing a ramp at all! Check out recent side by side comparison video and you’ll see it going up a steep hill!
Is it able to exchange the roof can’t fit in my garage with this one
They have all gotten so tall! Try moving the suspension setting to the lower setting (softer). May help some.
Does it have a hitch? What is payload? Cool.
Great questions. No hitch on it but I will likely add one aftermarket. Payload not sure. I wouldn’t think much. It has lots of power for an electric cart, but I wouldn’t put 500lbs on the seat folded over on any golf cart. Couple hundred pounds prob fine. I’ll look and see if there is a payload tag.
837 total passenger and cargo weight
Did you ever figure out how to disconnect the backup beeper.
Yes!!! It is tucked under the rear drivers side tire. Next to the electric motor. I am SO glad it’s disconnected now! Lol. Let me know if you have any trouble on it.
My grandparents just got this golf cart and it's all fine and great. We fixed all the sweeking noises but we cannot figure out how the adjust the headlights for the life of me. It's pointed so up it blinds everyone on the road and the light bar was pointed downward which we fixed. If anyone knows how to fix it, please do. The owners manual doesn't mention any adjustments to the headlight housing.
Glad you all like it! Not sure how or if the headlights can be adjusted but yes, the light bar was simple. Appreciate you watching! I’ll have a 4 mo review out on it this week so hope you will come back. 👍🏼👊🏼
@@JoeTheFarmer awesome will look forward to that review. Eventually I'm gonna take apart the entire frontend to do the adjustment myself.
My biggest concern is where to take it for warranty work.
Totally fair; but honest question would be what will go wrong with an electric cart? Batteries or motor are a possibility or the led display; but they are so simple. I would say look into a service center close to you that honors the warranty before purchasing and that should ease the concern. Thanks for watching John!
Great video. Following 👍🏽
Glad you enjoyed it!
I think this is a good value, I will keep this in mind when I look to upgrade my golf cart
I agree. It really is a lot for the money. Thanks for watching!
Love the review, but can’t find this cart or any Racka brand on the Tractor Supply website. Any help? Do you have a link for this vehicle at Tractor Supply?
No link buddy but it will be rolling out. Limited stores have it now but more will get it. Others have asked their store manager to get one and its gotten there pretty fast. Appreciate you watching my friend!
Had to sub after this video. Awesome cart. Also..man alive what a beautiful property..this is in TN?
Thanks! And yessir. Just outside Nashville. Appreciate ya!!!
Does it have a full charge too!!
If you charge it...yes. Lol
How long far does the battery last or go ? Thanks
All depends on what you are doing and who is in it. Prob about 30-35 miles.
@@JoeTheFarmer thanks 😊
Great video, the cart looks great. I have both a golf cart, 4-wheelers and a Polaris Ranger and the cart gets way more use. I was/am concerned about the quality of this assuming it is chinese made. My Ezgo is still great after 20 years, will this do the same, time will tell, please keep us posted? So I started researching and interesting enough I can't even find this cart anywhere even at TSC. So how hard would it be to get parts and service? I am just reluctant to get an off brand for something that should last a long time and will need service and parts down the road. Keep the great content coming, Good luck
Hey! You sound like me. Plenty of options but the cart seems to be the go to for quick trips. And you are right, the jury is out on how it will stand up over the years. Only time will tell. We plan to be tough on it, and will share the honest results. Appreciate you watching!
Subscribed! Thank you for the great video coverage. I cannot seem to find that same cart for sale? I would buy one just like this one, 4 wheel Disc brakes, turn signals & 25 MPH. Just not seeing any RACKA's out there to match same product???
Hey! It's a nice cart, but a new one is coming out shortly that you may want to look at. These are sold is select Tractor Supply stores and it is nearly identical to the Coleman carts. Same manufacturer. Hope that helps!
@@JoeTheFarmer, thank you sir! Due to lack of finding that cart, I found & bought the 2024 Revolution D5 Ranger and so far I’m very happy with it. Thanks for reaching out though!👍🏼
@bigdh2os814 congratulations on the new cart! Glad you got what you like!
Hi, I have the same one. It is awesome.
Glad you like it!!!
how many hours can you drive on one charge?
They say 40 miles, not sure how that translates to hours for you.
How do I turn off the back up alarm? I see two places above the wheel. I don’t want to unplug the wrong one.
Has two wires I believe. Above the rear drivers side wheel by the motor. Should unplug easily. Put it in reverse and when the alarm stops you know you got the right one! 👍🏼
@@JoeTheFarmer You’ve really helped make my decision easier. Also Tractor Supply is offering 0% financing right now. Can’t beat it!
You will enjoy this cart. Drove it today and the pep is legit.
I’ve unplugged both wires by the rear drivers tire. Back up alarm still won’t go off. Any other suggestions?
@ctyaustin without being there hard to tell. Thats where it is my friend. Have had many folks kill the alarm by doing that
its not listed on Tractor Supply website
It’s in limited stores but if you ask your store manager to get one they should be able to get one to demo. It’s a great machine!
Boy I loved to get a 6 or 8 seater I know I would love e gold cart but it’s probaly very very illegal in the Portland Oregon area where I live top speed 25 mph damn to bad it isn’t higher
I believe 25 mph is the cap for low speed vehicles not needing to be registered. Could be wrong. Thanks for watching!!!
@@JoeTheFarmer I mean my area it’s to big so to be regrister it would have to go 30 35 maybe even 40 for me just to go to the movie and I want to go somewhere needing the highway it wouldn’t work anyways
@@JoeTheFarmer you’re welcome
Strange, it's not on their web site.
Not sure why; but if you go and ask a store manager they can probably get one in to demo. It really is a very nice machine (so far!)
@@JoeTheFarmerYes, your review shows what an awesome cart it really is!
We have been pretty hard on it and it’s taken a beating so far. I’m really partial to it! Plenty of stuff to drive around but I keep going for the Racka. Lol
@@JoeTheFarmer Awesome! Thank you very much.
Its time to bring out the 15-foot Titan Batwing.
Like Golf Cart ; I didn't know that you played golf.... Hope your going well! We get some cooler weather I'm going to start hunting got a trip to Ohio late October!! Are y'all having any problems or new regulation in this CWD?
Don’t really play golf buddy; but I’ll drive a golf cart! Love this weather man. So nice! No real issues on cwd for us yet but sure it’s coming. Good luck out there!
Joe is this 1 wheel, 2 wheel, or 4 wheel drive? I have a Polaris EV 4 whee drive I use for hunting all the time. I also have a Polaris Ranger 1000 gas I use for food plot work etc., but use the EV all the time on the property to reduce my noice as it does not seem nearly as invasive. Thanks, Bob
Hey Bob; that is a great question. I need to figure that out. My guess is one rear wheel but need to confirm. My ev is also 4wd which I have never had to use to get to the stand. But it’s nice to have. Also twice the price! Lol
Agree...my wife has a true electric golf cart for running around single wheel drive, bur useless in wet or snow, but good for the yard.
I have used my 4 wheel drive many times on my Polaris EV getting to stands etc....etc.
@rfb7117 well; this is what will be fun about testing this one out. I have a few more videos coming out where it was put through the typical paces. Trying to grab the Racka for everyday chores as opposed to the other machines. No real issues so far other than lack of a true bed. But I wan work around that.
Great looking forward to seeing them in the future.
Are parts available?
I honestly haven’t needed any yet; but I would definitely think so.
Are you able to buy just the rear seat
Not sure. I would think so
We have to buy a side by side 4WD with a dump bed for work around our property and taking it up our mountain in the woods
Depending on elevation be sure to check on how the machine will work in higher altitudes. I have heard of some folks on tall mountains needing to make adjustments to their machine. If not that high, then no big deal.
@@JoeTheFarmer we have a neighbor that can make it with his side by side but his machine is the equivalent to a 4 door.
We need a side by side (2 seater) with a dump bed and a 4X4.
We get 5-7 feet of snow every winter.
Cant find it on the Tractor Supply page!
It's rolling out but won't be on the website. It will be in select stores I am told.
I put bales of hay on the back of my cart....does that rack for the clubs come completely off?
Yessir. It can be removed
Looks nice for camp ground
Would be perfect for that. Lifted suspension makes it great off the pavement
Love your farm
Thank you; we are very grateful to have it. Appreciate you coming along!
A neighbor drove up in one of these last week - I was gobsmacked with her golf cart! I have been looking for it online but didn’t know the name. I was searching for Badass Golfcart and Big Sexy Golf Cart 😂. Then the RUclips Algorithm sent me this video. Thank you for posting!
🤣🤣🤣. That algorithm seems to know its business! They are very sharp looking carts and a lot of fun to drive. We have more videos with it making appearances so check those out if you like! Thanks for watching!
When will this be available at TSC, I watched this and then went there. The Sales people had no clue how I could buy one. TSC web site does not show it available.
They are adding new stores but if you ask the manager to order one they will send it to your store. They are usually in store only. What is your local TSC?
Is this the same as Massimo MEV2X. I dont see the Racka on Tractor Supply website
Hey! No, very similar to the Coleman. The Massimo is a totally different cart. But has tons of options! Both pretty crazy value at 8k. Thanks for watching!
Have yiu reviewed Massimo? Who sells racka since TS doesn't
@otiscornerbargrille Racka is basically Coleman at TSC. I will be doing a review on the Massimo MEV2 soon!
That's cute. It would be fun to knock around in. Kids will love it.
The adults love it too!
Great for a couple years, or when you need to get parts.
We’ll see!
I love your gulfcart man
I have a old gas cart. It uses all most no gas. shuts off on its own every time you stop. So my question is how much $ to keep it fully charged ready to go every day?
Probably not much to be honest. I have used it all day and haven’t been below 70%. If fully depleted it would prob add up. I am going to do a generator test to see how long it takes to charge it with a smaller inverter genny. I am no Bill Nye the science guy, just a dude that geeks out on cool gear.
Will Tractor Supply service the cart if there are any issues?
I’m not certain who will service it; but TSC is not set up for it. Definitely worth researching.
No
Many years ago I hunted on a 48volt lifted club cart... and I rode up so close to deer you could see the surprise in their eyes 😆
I know exactly what you mean! Its like they are like “where did YOU come?!?” Lol. Thanks for watching!
How tall is it floor to roof?
Not sure exactly but it is very spacious.
I can’t find it online yet, and will have to call around (my local tractor supply doesn’t have it). We are trying to see if it’ll fit in our toy hauler.
@ashleymichels8877 gotcha. I think you will be impressed when you see it in person. Really nice looking machine.
