Short answer: the E-Z-GO Medalist is a short-lived mid-1990s platform, commonly documented for 1994-1995 model years. It shares some parts with early TXT-era carts, but not enough to treat “TXT/Medalist” as automatically interchangeable. Identify the cart by model/year and compare OEM numbers before ordering.
Historical Medalist parts manuals cover both gas and electric vehicles, including Fleet, Freedom, DCS electric, and 4 Caddy variants. Because the platform sits between older Marathon carts and the later TXT, model identification matters.
How to identify an EZGO Medalist
The Medalist is commonly listed as a 1994-1995 model family. It uses a metal body and a one-piece seat back, which helps distinguish it from older Marathon carts with two separate seat backs and from later TXT carts with plastic bodywork. When appearance is unclear, use the manufacturer code/serial information rather than guessing.
Parts that may overlap with TXT
Some aftermarket suppliers group Medalist with early TXT for seat hinges, suspension parts, shifter components, access panels, and selected electrical pieces. That overlap is useful, but it does not mean every TXT part fits a Medalist.
Current Medalist parts worth comparing

Inductive throttle sensor for selected electric Medalist/TXT carts
This is an electrical example where exact system type matters. Match the OEM reference and electric-drive configuration before buying.
Tune-up kit for selected gas Medalist/TXT 4-cycle carts
Gas carts need model- and engine-specific service parts. This type of tune-up kit should only be used when the engine family and model-year range match.
Forward/reverse shifter handle for selected Medalist/TXT carts
Mechanical controls are another area where early TXT and Medalist listings can overlap. Compare the old handle, shaft interface, and OEM reference.
Gas vs electric Medalist parts
Never assume a part fits both. Gas carts have engine, carburetor, starter/generator, clutch, fuel, and ignition components that do not apply to electric carts. Electric Medalists can differ by speed-control system and charger/drive configuration.
Suspension and steering
Leaf springs, bushings, tie rods, steering components, and wheel/brake parts may resemble early TXT components, but dimensions and year ranges still need verification. If the cart has been lifted or modified, inspect the installed parts rather than relying only on the original model.
Electrical sourcing
Record system voltage, motor/controller information, charger connector, and any labels on the old component. A throttle sensor, solenoid, charger, or switch that is correct for one electric configuration may not suit another.
Use part numbers whenever possible
Historical manuals are especially valuable for older carts. The 1994-1995 Medalist parts documentation lists assemblies for brakes, steering, suspension, electrical systems, engines, chargers, motors, body parts, and more. Cross-reference the original part number with a modern replacement listing.
Common buying mistake
The biggest mistake is treating the Medalist as either “basically a Marathon” or “basically a TXT” for every component. It is a transition-era model. Some parts cross over; others do not. Verify the specific assembly.
Medalist body parts can be the hardest items to source
Mechanical and electrical service parts often have aftermarket replacements, but original metal-body trim and cosmetic pieces can be harder to find. For those items, used OEM parts or specialist golf-cart dismantlers may be more realistic than a new generic replacement. Compare mounting holes and body contour carefully.
When a TXT part is listed as compatible
If a seller lists both Medalist and TXT, look for the exact year range and OEM cross-reference rather than relying on the shared model names. Early TXT overlap is common, but later TXT revisions can change steering, electrical, suspension, and body hardware. Our EZGO TXT accessories guide is useful for comparison, but it should not replace Medalist-specific fitment checks.
Bottom line
For EZGO Medalist parts, start with 1994-1995 model identification, then separate gas from electric and use OEM numbers wherever possible. Early TXT overlap can make sourcing easier, but only after the exact component and fitment are confirmed.
