EZGO Elite / Samsung SDI for Techies

The EZGO Elite has a bit of a stiff ride that can be mitigated by keeping tire pressure below 18 PSI. It does feel a little tippy in corners...the motor brakes are excellent with no pads to wear out.

The 2004 Prius has a nickel metal hydride battery...Not lithium.
Great points you make. The one about the ride and handling is why once you drive the car like ride and handling of the Yamaha Quiet Tech, it is hard to love the ride and handling of any other golf cart. Yamaha's do not lean on turns/cornering and take the bumps much nicer. Each to their own but for my money I love the safety of the Yamaha's.
