However, the jury is really out on these lithium electric carts because they do not have a long track record.
The only cart out there right now with over 2 decades plus of track record is the Yamaha gas.
With the best ride and handling and steering of all carts and the indestructible Yamaha motor, it is the safe bet. By the way, the Yamaha gas is now almost as quiet as an electric cart.
Just for info the Yamaha gas is no where near a quiet as the electric carts. They have been using lithium batteries in cars since before 2010 with great success. I thinks that should be an adequate track record.
