I've put a higher speed motor in our 2007 Club Car (in 2007) and it will go about 21/22mph which is as fast I would like to go in a golf cart. No smell, no noise, smooth, (no battery acid smell on the garage floor - but didn't hear that one before ) I can drive it as far and long as I want to travel in a golf cart. Every time we take out one of those new "quite"/"no jerky" / "no smell" (I guess that smell in the tunnels is my imagination or a new vapor to help me breathe) new gas cart we are amazed how loud/jerky they are compared to our old electric cart.
I can't help wonder why more and more auto manufactures are introducing more electric models each year - perhaps they didn't get the bulletin from The Villages about how smooth, quiet, and pollution-free the NEW golf cart gas engines are.
I hate to admit it but I probably drive one of the most gas-guzzling cars in The Villages and love it, but our next golf cart will clearly be lithium battery powered.
