This has been discussed over and over again. NOTHING IS PERFECT.
Lithium batteries have gotten cheaper, the reason why where they used to used nicads in rechargeable tools, Lithium batteries are taking over. They are lighter for the same capacity. It is even more so in a golf cart lead acid vs lithium.
A lead acid battery, the voltage falls off as the battery discharges making it easy and cheap to measure the remaining charge. Lead is also heavy. A lithium battery has a flat voltage curve, making it more difficult, less accurate and expensive to monitor the remaining run time.
Claimed range? The stated range, is likely optimistic and it goes down as batteries age.
Also, if you run the lights that too will cost you range.
Noise-I think the noise is a plus. People, perhaps even unaware of it can hear you are there.
