Refresher 1200 – One of the most innovative vehicles I saw at the show was the new Cushman Refresher 1200. The food/beverage/merchandise vehicle was developed for E-Z-GO by 19th Hole Cart and features what they call FlexServe Technology, a modular design that allows an operator to easily swap out different sections of the vehicle to customize the mix of food, beverage and merchandise offerings. This customization should allow the facility to generate more revenue from a better mix of products throughout the day. Some of the key features of the vehicle include:
- All aluminum construction for the food/merchandise unit
- Modular design with compartments in 6, 12, or 18 inch widths that can be swapped out
- Wrap around work counter
- Slide out merchandise rack
- Two cooler sections on each side
- Vehicle’s center of gravity is moved forward and separate cooler units limits weight shifting while driving
- Gas vehicle powered by a 13 hp Kawasaki engine
- Beverage area in back can be switched from coffee to liquor
The flexible design allows for a wide range of potential markets for the Refresher 1200 beyond the golf course including stadiums, promotional vehicles, food trucks, etc. In addition, from the OEM’s point of view the vehicle can produce additional revenue as buyers will want to have additional modules to swap in and out.
