Short answer: Choose an E-Z-GO rear seat kit by model first. TXT and RXV kits are not interchangeable just because both are E-Z-GO carts. After fitment, compare frame construction, flip-bed function, footrest design, roof-support compatibility, and seat color.
Rear seats change how the cart carries passengers and cargo, so this is more than a cosmetic accessory. Browse related model content in our E-Z-GO guides and broader upgrades in the accessories hub.
How we chose the options in this guide
We separated TXT and RXV results before considering features. A rear seat kit that fits the wrong chassis is not a useful recommendation, even if its materials or price look attractive.
TXT vs RXV rear seat kits
E-Z-GO TXT: a huge number of aftermarket kits are built for TXT-family carts, but listings can still separate early and later years, roof-support layouts, and body styles.
E-Z-GO RXV: RXV uses a different chassis/body arrangement. Buy an RXV-specific kit and verify whether the listing distinguishes earlier and later RXV configurations.
If you cannot confidently identify your cart, confirm the model plate or serial information before ordering a heavy kit.
Three current rear seat kits to compare
Affiliate disclosure: We may earn a commission from qualifying purchases. Product availability and pricing can change, so confirm current details before buying.
The examples below are split between TXT and RXV rather than mixed together as if they were interchangeable.
HECASA TXT rear seat kit
The current listing targets later TXT-family carts and includes rear-seat structure with roof-support hardware. It is a relevant choice to compare for TXT owners, but confirm the listing’s stated year range before ordering.
KUAFU TXT flip-back seat
This is another TXT-oriented option, useful if the cargo-bed conversion is one of your priorities. Compare the included hardware and roof-support requirements with your existing cart.
VPAHub RXV flip seat
This product is specifically positioned for RXV carts and references both earlier and later RXV configurations. That makes it the correct type of product to compare if your cart is RXV rather than TXT.
What matters beyond fitment
- Flip-bed design: a folding rear seat can convert into a flat cargo deck, which is useful for coolers, tools, or yard work.
- Footrest strength: rear passengers put repeated load on the step or foot platform, so mounting and frame construction matter.
- Roof supports: some kits replace or reposition rear roof struts. Confirm what is included.
- Grab-bar and hitch compatibility: accessories around the rear frame can compete for the same mounting space.
- Cushion color and pattern: match the front seat if appearance matters, but do not let color override chassis fitment.
Passenger safety changes after a rear-seat conversion
A rear seat adds passenger weight behind the rear axle and changes how the cart feels during braking and turning. Drive more conservatively, especially on slopes. Make sure the kit and cart are suitable for carrying passengers and follow local rules where the cart is used on public roads or shared paths.
Seat belts, grab bars, and rear safety bars may be worth considering depending on how and where the cart is used. Do not assume a rear-seat conversion automatically makes the cart street legal.
Installation planning
- Photograph the existing rear body, roof supports, and hardware before disassembly.
- Verify all kit parts against the instructions before removing the factory pieces.
- Support the roof if rear roof struts are being changed.
- Start all frame bolts loosely before final tightening so the kit can align.
- Check seat hinge movement and cargo-bed latch operation.
- Recheck fasteners after the first few drives.
When a rear seat kit is the wrong upgrade
If the cart is already heavily loaded, has weak suspension, worn brakes, or significant frame corrosion, fix those issues before adding passenger capacity. A rear seat kit can expose existing suspension and handling problems.
Frequently asked questions
Will an E-Z-GO TXT rear seat kit fit an RXV?
No. TXT and RXV use different chassis and body layouts. Buy a kit explicitly listed for your model.
Do rear seat kits include roof supports?
Some do and some do not. The included hardware varies by kit, so check the package contents before ordering.
Can the rear seat convert to a cargo bed?
Many aftermarket kits use a flip-seat design that folds into a flat deck, but not every kit does.
Do I need heavier rear springs after adding a rear seat?
It depends on the cart, passenger load, and existing suspension condition. If the rear sags or bottoms out under normal load, inspect the suspension and use parts appropriate for the added weight.
Bottom line
Identify TXT versus RXV before anything else. Then choose a kit that fits your passenger or cargo use, includes the hardware your cart needs, and leaves a safe, solid rear structure once installed.
