I was in the golf business for 35 years and worked with golf cart fleets. Mostly I worked with Club Car so I am used to them and I like them a lot. I have a 2002 Club Car that runs like a dream.

As far a range goes, there is no need to do the 8 six volt battery conversion any longer. A new battery is available called the Ranger. They cost about 30% more than traditional batteries but they'll give you 160 minutes of running time out of a single charge. At 20 mph, that converts to sixty miles. But, that is running on a flat surface with no hills and no starting and stopping. Realistically, you can expect to get between 40 to 50 miles on a charge.
