I am not sure I follow the $5K difference in price. On the EZGO website, the price difference is $1700 (presumably for a minimum lithium-ion battery configuration compared with a lead-acid battery config). Some additional details would be useful. I was thinking of stopping by the golf cart store in Brownwood to take a look. Thanks.

I was all set to buy one but the extra cost for the lithium batteries ( almost $5,000) drove me away. I did buy the Yamaha Quiet tech EFI, but sure wish I could have afforded the EZ Go. No gas stations, noise (yes ALL gas carts are noisy!). I also think the EZ go is smoother riding.
