Work Program
RESNA ASE-2 Adaptive Sports Equipment Volume 2: Adaptive Golf Cars
This standard includes requirements and test methods for adaptive golf cars. The standard includes tests for maximum speed, maximum acceleration, static and dynamic stability and brake systems. It also includes safety guidance for golf course operators. NGCMA Z130.1-2004 provides safety and performance specifications for golf cars. Adaptive golf cars are similar to standard golf cars in many respects but have hand controls, a swivel seat, and the golfer swings the golf club while sitting in the car. This creates safety issues not addressed by NGCMA Z130.1-2004 that required resolution.
The standard includes the following sections:
