The rule of thumb is 40 miles when the batteries are new and start to lose range from there.
Now before I get jumped there are a lot of things considered when it comes to range.
Its all math really, you have so much stored power, and the cart uses so much power to run.
Yep, on target. How much weight yo hauling, how fast are you driving, tires properly inflated, etc, etc, etc. Even with brand new batteries I 'm no sure I'd count on 40 miles.
