If you get low on gas away from home, just fill up and you're good for another 250 miles. It takes only 5 minutes. If you get low on a charge what do you do?
I like the idea that electric is quieter but don't like having to fill batteries and replace them every 3-5 years. Smell is not a problem because you are smelling the other carts even if yours is gas or electric.
I've been watching for several years and feel pretty sure that about 75% of the carts you see here are Yamaha and probably 90% of those are gas.
Unless electric has improved, they are fine on flat stretches but on a hill and they lose way too much speed.
