In the first month we had it there was a sound like a piece of sheet metal rubbing on a rotating part, but it went away on its own before I could get it back to dealer.
Okay, the sounds coming from our cart are very different from that. The noise from our cart is a very high pitched, pulsating whining sound with a grinding noise in the background. The only time the cart runs silently is when it is in reverse - except for the backup alarm, of course. After test driving several new carts of the same model at dealerships, we expected silent operation while driving forward, as well, especially at very low speeds on flat streets.
So there’s really no reason for us to compare the carts, though I appreciate the offer. Thanks.
