It seems that the engines in the gas carts make up a lot of the weight.

G29 Yamaha gas engine weights around 80 pounds, add another 20 for generator, the trans axle problem weighs 130 or so. Problem weight slightly more than electric counterpart with lead acid batteries and of course hundred pounds or more less than same electric cart with lithium batteries.
