The statement about the 21st Century is a bit strange. Can I assume you drive a Tesla or some other electric car? If you don't, then I am not sure I understand your point. I would much rather "fool" with oil and gas then "fool" with battery acid. By the way, Yamaha sells both gas and electric carts so I don't understand your statement about "scare tactics" from Yamaha sales. Charging your flooded lead acid batteries in your enclosed garage is not without issues. Once every 3 weeks or so I put gas in my cart - it provides low maintenance, dependable transportation at a low cost without the issues of dealing with unsealed batteries. Buy what you want and I hope you enjoy it but please refrain from making false statements about a technology you don't appear to understand.

If you live in Oceola and want to go to Spanish Springs--use your car. Batteries being replaced and costly, etc. is a scare tactic used by Yamaha sales. Every 5 years is not too much, plus, you do not have to fool with gasoline/oil. It is the 21st Century |
