TIGON Golf Carts is a full-line authorized Evolution dealer. Our teams across 15 physical stores have extensive hands-on experience with every Evolution model. Here's our complete breakdown.
Browse Evolution inventory →Evolution's Platform Architecture
Unlike brands that offer variations of a single chassis, Evolution has built several distinct platforms:
- Classic Series: Classic styling in 2-passenger and 4-passenger configurations
- Forester Series: The most popular Evolution platform — sporty, capable, well-equipped
- D5 Series: Evolution's flagship platform — advanced suspension, highest performance
- D6 Series: The next generation — refined over D5 with additional luxury and technology
- Turfman Series: Commercial utility vehicles with cargo beds
This platform diversity is Evolution's key differentiator — there's a purpose-built Evolution for virtually every application.

What makes the D5 platform different from the Forester?
Independent front suspension. The D5's IFS provides a dramatically smoother ride on uneven terrain and better handling at speed compared to the solid-axle Forester platform.
Is Evolution street-legal from the factory?
Most Forester and all D5/D6 models are factory-equipped with full LSV equipment (lights, turn signals, mirrors, seat belts). They're street-legal on roads posted 35 mph or less in most states.
How does Evolution compare to Denago?
Both are excellent modern electric carts. Evolution has more model diversity and the premium D5/D6 platforms. Denago tends to offer slightly better value at comparable configurations. Both are sold at TIGON Golf Carts.
Where can I get Evolution service?
All 15 TIGON Golf Carts physical stores are authorized Evolution service centers with certified technicians and genuine parts inventory.
