My neighbor's cart leaked gas and oil in their garage and it stained the floor & still smells. I have passed many many broken down gas carts on the paths but never an electric cart. Most people are afraid of electric carts running out of juice but I can go from one end of TV to the other and back with battery power left over. Gas powered "everything" is going the way of the dinosaur. Go electric!

No disrespect, but sure hope you are wrong ! Watched the CEO of Ford, who decided to take a new Ford electric vehicle on a cross country vacation. Did you happen to see him on the news ? I was STUNNED he was so honest ! Said it was a night mare and that it really helped him understand why many people are so negative about their electric autos. Golf carts a different story, but sure hope your prediction is erroneous, had many golf carts, but only one electric, one way enough for us. But to each their own. We all have things that are most important to us. We've found an oil change and a filter a nothing burger, about 10-15 min. twice a year. Compared to what we paid for batteries and the way the meter would "spin" while it charged, it was just not practical for us. We don't actually keep gasoline in the garage... except in our auto...LOL... but the gas cart we find much more practical than the electric we had. Good thing there are many choices and brands !
