Are you talking about the Evolution?

The "jump" start was a knock on electric carts for years. About 20 years ago Club Car came up with a technology called "ramping" that gradually brought the cart up to speed when starting out.

I assume that by now, all other electric carts have this technology.

I'm wondering if the EZ GO lithium has it.

To me the Evolution hasn't been around long enough and being made in China is a turnoff.

Having been in the golf business for 35 years and overseeing fleets of golf carts, I was initially an EZ GO guy but then Club Car just took over the market and I've been a dyed in the wool Club Car guy for a long time.

At this point, however, based on what I'm hearing, EX GO is beating everyone in the lithium category.

I'm currently looking at an EZ GO Elite.
