Gasoline carts suck in every way except for range and "charge" time.
gas - 200 miles on a 3 minute "charge"
electric - charges at about 6 miles per hour...30 miles will require a 5 hour charge
Rohan Rec to Mulberry Grove Rec is 15 miles
Just the savings in fuel (gas is 4 cents per mile more over electric) and extra maintenance costs (only maintenance on electric cart - $3.00 per year for distilled water) will pay for a new set of batteries after 3 years (assuming 10 miles per day)...And the batteries will easily last 5 years if you keep them fully charged and water them monthly. I will race any gas cart up a hill. While your cart is bleating away, I will be at the top will gobs of torque and perfect silence. ALWAYS go for a cart with an AC motor!
If I were to buy a cart today, I would go with the Tomberlin LE. You will have 70 miles of range every time you leave your house and like me, will never even bother to look at the fuel gauge. Tomberlin will be much cheaper than the Yamaha AC from the villages or C&C
