We just looked at them yesterday at TVGC. The new lithium carts, they say, are getting 50 miles for Yamaha and 80 miles for Star. Like someone said, that is on flat ground and hurricane winds to your back I bet. Then I ask how long do the batteries last and the cost of them. They said 5 to 8 years is what they are “predicting” and “right now” the price is $4,000 for new batteries. In 5 to 8 years when you need new batteries they will be $6,000 or $7,000 and you won’t be able to get $5,000 out of the cart if you tried to sell it. Just my opinion. $4,000 of gas goes a long way in a golf cart. Think about it. All your getting is a little more quite ride, not a better ride. This is just my opinion and thoughts. Buy what you feel right buying and remember, riding around in a golf cart all day is much better than working. lol
