Top 5 Best Golf Cart Alarm Systems  

 

1. Onvian Smart Bike

Our top pick for golf cart alarms does a lot of things right and very little wrong.

Though no product is without a few downsides, the issues we found here were minor enough not to concern us that much.

And the benefits far outweigh them by far.

For example, the price on this unit is a good balance between the cheaper models and the more expensive options on this list.

This factor does mean that the Onvian has a bit of a balanced feel to it that some may not appreciate.

For example, some buyers may want a more expensive alarm with more options while others want a less expensive choice that suits their budget.

In some cases, this “neither fish nor fowl” approach may make an alarm a questionable investment, but we think it really works for this alarm.

For example, it has a 2-in-1 tail light that, while designed for bikes, can be used on golf carts as well.

These lights help to make your cart more visible when you’re on the road.

That extra touch is something that we haven’t seen in a lot of carts and is a nice choice. 

And with a loud 115-decibel horn, it should be very easy to keep your cart safe from theft.

While this decibel level isn’t the loudest on our list, it is still one of the most potent alarms that we could find.

And a slightly lower decibel level may be easier for some people to tolerate, and may cause less hearing damage for those who accidentally set off their alarm.

Unfortunately, this alarm does have a saddle-based mounting system that almost pushed it a bit down our list.

However, we found that it was easy to attach this alarm to either the seat of the golf cart or an appropriate mounting area.

This downside was the biggest we could find for an otherwise balanced alarm system.

 

Pros

• Price is very reasonable considering all that you get for your purchase
• Waterproof design feels very easy to use and simple to understand
• Remote helps to keep the alarm easy to use and understand

 

Cons

• May not be as loud as some other speakers
• Could feel a little lightweight to some users
• Doesn’t have quite as many alarm options as some choices here

 

2. YHAAVALE 9200E Amplifier Police Siren

Though designed more as a PA system for a car, this sire can be easily adapted for golf cart use.

It provides a unique level of alarm protection that makes it a fun choice for many users.

First of all, it operates more like a warning system when the cart is in use rather than a security system.

However, this use is beneficial for many situations in which you may find yourself in a golf cart.

For example, you may be on your golf cart and find people attempting to behave aggressively towards you.

You can turn on the siren on this unit to produce the highest volume that you can get of any alarm on our list.

And the unmistakable sounds of the siren will not only attract attention right away but could be a useful deterrent for those who may mistake you for a police officer.

Even better, you may be able to adjust this unit to make it adaptable to a security system.

For example, a little electrical work may make this siren sync to a traditional alarm system for your golf cart.

As a result, you can produce a very high volume sound that will scare away burglars.

And like other alarm systems, this has many different sounds that you can use to protect your vehicle.

For example, you can use a bass sound to scare away intruders, a fire alarm to alert people to dangerous situations, or a generalized siren to get attention.

There are 20 different types of sounds.

 

Pros

• Very loud siren will scare away just about anybody
• Easy to install and adaptable to many types of uses
• 120-130 decibel range makes it the loudest unit on our list

 

Cons

• Price is a little high for this type of unit
• Requires special adaptation for use on a golf cart
• May need adjustment to be used as a true alarm system

 

3. Rupse Wireless Alarm System

No products found.

By the logic of our ranking system, this Rupse wireless alarm system is a very middle-of-the-road option.

Don’t let that fool you, though!

We like this alarm system and believe that most people can get a lot of great protection for their golf cart.

And don’t let the fact that it ranks lower than our fifth option (4.3 out of 5 stars) fool you into thinking we made a mistake – we did not rank this one higher by accident.

There are a few reasons that this option goes higher on our list in spite of the slightly lower ranking.

First of all, we investigated the quality of the complaints against each alarm by reading the reviews and found that the complaints against this system were not as a problem as our fifth choice.

We liked a lot of the elements and features of this alarm better than we did the other option.

For example, it has a five-speed adjustable sensitivity.

And we also liked the cool flying-saucer-styled design of this option more than the other alarm.

This look not only has a cool sci-fi feel to it but is also easier to integrate on more types of golf carts.

Simply put, we think this alarm is better for most golf carts.

 

Pros

• Uses an ultra-low power consumption to minimize battery drain
• Minimal static current helps to decrease any problematic electrical issues
• Small and compact design helps to make it easier to install

 

Cons

• Some may not enjoy the flying saucer design like we do
• Not quite as sensitive or loud as other models
• Could struggle to fit on some golf carts, depending on size

 

4. WINOMO Motorcycle Alarm System Anti-Theft Security System

The WINOMO Motorcycle Alarm System is one that can be easily adjusted to work on just about any golf cart.

Typically, it is adaptable to any system that has a 12-volt battery or which can produce at least 12 volts.

Batteries that produce higher levels on a golf cart may require an adapter for this system, which is either included or which can be purchased and added to the system at a later date.

And while this unit does rank at just about 4 out of 5 stars or so online, that’s still more than high enough to get on our list.

That’s because we enjoy the ease with which a person can install it on a golf cart.

Typically, it doesn’t require a lot of excessive work to get this unit on a cart.

You may need to pay special attention to the electrical issues mentioned earlier, but that’s about it for this golf cart.

And since it includes a double-remote controller, it is one of the most adaptable on the market.

A double-remote creates a higher level of fail-safe protection that minimizes issues with the alarm design.

And with a simple shock sensor that includes remote arming and disarming options, you don’t have to be anywhere near your cart to ensure that it is protected and safe from robbery or damage.

What we particularly like about the remote is that it has only four buttons, making it easy to understand and use.

And the sensitive motion sensor is often among the easiest to understand and use and provides a high-quality level of protection that is hard to get from other alarms.

 

Pros

• Easy to use design makes this a universally-acceptable alarm
• Allows emergency calls if you are in a dangerous situation with your cart
• The price is more than reasonable for the benefits that it offers buyers

 

Cons

• May not fit comfortably on some types of golf carts, particularly bigger ones
• Some may find its use a little awkward, due to its motorcycle-centric design
• May feel somewhat cheap to some due to its plastic design

 

5. Onvian Upgraded Wireless Anti-Theft Motorcycle Bike Alarm

This unique alarm system is rated quite highly on Amazon – nearly 4.5 stars out of 5 – based on just over 350 ratings.

That type of high ranking is essential for inclusion on this list, particularly when based on so many ratings.

When a product is ranked very highly based on just a handful of rankings, it doesn’t mean as much as when many customers consistently rank a product very well.

And this unique alarm, though designed for bicycles, can easily fit on a golf cart with minimal fuss.

It has a 113-decibel maximum volume, which should be more than enough to scare off potential robbers and alert you and others to their presence.

Just as importantly, this alarm has a high level of diversity that makes it useful for many different types of situations.

What helps this alarm make this list, in particular, is its seven levels of adjustable sensitivity.

We love this option because you can set how sensitive you want your alarm to be to the touch.

For example, you can have a very sensitive touch that goes off very easily, protecting you from many robbers.

Or you can set it for less sensitivity if you store your cart and use its storage area for any other types of items.

That adaptability make sit a useful option for many different storage and use situations, including when getting out on the golf course for a tournament.

 

Pros

• You can easily use this alarm to help with protecting doors and other areas of a home
• Wireless remote is very easy to use and enjoyable in its operation
• Waterproof design helps to protect against weather-related problems with the cart

 

Cons

• Compact design may feel a bit cheap to some users, particularly those who want higher density
• Requires three AAA batteries and a CR2032 battery that are included but may wear out quick
• May get damaged if used or stored in temperatures that are above 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit
