The PRI Tradeshow AEV Build Crunch

Deadline: December 12th, 2024
Make: Advanced EV
Model: Advent

Sponsors: Energy Products, Vast Racing Products, Power Sync Batteries, Detroix Digital

The countdown is on! Here at Boulevard Carts, we’ve rolled up our sleeves and set our sights on creating a high-performance beast of an electric golf cart, just in time for the PRI (Performance Racing Industry) Tradeshow this December in Indianapolis. Our canvas? The Advanced EV Advent – a sturdy, reliable, and altogether classy ride that’s about to get a serious overhaul. This won’t be your typical leisurely custom golf cart – think more golf cart with a hunger for speed. And with the PRI show just around the corner, we’re in high gear to bring it all together.

For those of you who share a love of juiced-up, customized carts, buckle up, because this build is all about pushing limits. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be tearing down, building up, and tweaking every inch of this Advent to max out its performance and style. This blog will track our progress, setbacks, aha moments, and inevitable “why didn’t we think of this sooner” lessons. So, whether you’re a DIY pro or just like seeing what’s possible with a little imagination (and a lot of Detroit adrenaline), stay tuned as we tackle this custom cart build – with updates coming fast and frequently!

We’ll, here she is… The Advanced EV Advent 2, looking sharp in a sleek Champagne finish. It’s not just a looker – it’s built for performance, and we’re putting that reputation to the test with this build. For now, the Advent’s sitting on these shop rollers, but we’ve got some MH Racemaster slicks (23×8.5-15) for the rear, while the fronts will be holding down a set of 205/40-14s. Those aren’t your everyday golf cart wheels, and for what we have planned, they’ll be going to work – and then some.

As for Advanced EV, for those of you who are new to the scene, this is a company that knows the headaches of the golf cart industry firsthand. After decades in the dealer environment, a group of dealers decided enough was enough. They came together and created Advanced EV with a vision of reliability, quality, and all the features that other carts seemed to miss. With a manufacturing hub in Rosenberg, Texas, Advanced EV has grown from high-quality golf carts to a lineup that includes buses, utility vehicles, and neighborhood cruisers.

This Advent 2 Champagne edition is the perfect starting point for our build, and with each update, you’ll see just what makes Advanced EV a standout choice for projects like ours.
