Fifty miles is a *lot* of miles in a golf cart for one day and certainly is not typical. I believe our all time record was less than twenty miles. Assuming you don't forget to plug the cart in overnight, I really don't see how a fifty mile range is an issue.

I am typically not an early adopter of new technology (I prefer to let others pay the high costs), however the lithium-ion EZGO carts potentially look attractive, especially if the extended battery life is realized. When compared to flooded lead-acid batteries, the lower weight, zero maintenance, quick recharges, and the ability to deeply discharge without damage are additional advantages. Given the large incremental costs, I would read the warranty very carefully.
