| As the G11 models were only upgraded for the gas carts, the G14 is the model that will eventually replace the electric G9. It was simple to locate the serial number on these carts.

| The G9 model golf cart continued with the sleek styling but added a little weird like seat back post. Iconic with these carts because they soon after axed the idea for a sleeker look in models to come. The serial number once again is under the seat again towards the front. | ||
