We found out that part of the "quiet tech" technology is a plastic shield on the bottom of the cart, enclosing the engine to keep noise in. Well that results in a lot of heat buildup. I wonder if this could be a fire hazard.
Pure marketing for suckers. Quiet "Tech" is simply a lot of padding added around the engine and some troublesome stuff in the tailpipe to muffle the noise level.
