Bought a new 2 seat Evolution in 2021. The ride is rougher, as others have said. I've changed the shocks on the front and that helps. Yes, the local dealer dials it back to 20 MPH, which can be changed (I know a guy...). It is cheaper, and the fit and finish reflect this.
It did need to go in the shop a few times as it was discharging too quickly. Eventually, they replaced the battery, and no issues now. The local dealer doesn't provide loaners, so consider that.
I've never pushed it, but it should go 60 miles on a charge, far more than I will ever need. I like the fact that it is quieter than a gas model, and I don't smell any gas fumes.
Just a side note, I think lithium ion is great for golf carts, for all of the reasons I note about. For a car? Not so much, based on the range limitations, recharge time, and availability of recharge stations. When they make an EV that for all intents and purposes meets those requirements the same as an ICE vehicle, I'll consider it. Not until then.
