They also are more complex and thus more costly than the simpler and proven overhead valve designs that are used in golf cart engines. The latest Yamahas have independent front and rear suspensions. I am not sure what additional level of sophistication you are looking for in the suspension. The one place where they could be improved would be brakes on all four wheels. My Yamaha has a wet disk brake on the rear wheels only. These things are rugged and bulletproof. If you really want something that has more whistles and bells, look at Atomic carts.
Refreshing to read something that is based on logic... thank you

PS. buy electric
