new Yamaha gas cart is the best option. We bought new 2.5 years ago and have 10,000 miles on it. You will have maintenance like a belt, oil changes, but we have had a couple big items replaced under warranty, We buy new cars and golf carts because I don’t want somebody else’s problems.
We had electric carts before.
Battery life will all depend on how you use them, how you charge them, which are too many restrictions for me. I put gas in and can go 200 miles more than a lithium cart on 1 charge.
The cost of lithium batteries is very high and is a toxic waste that harms the environment. I can rebuild a gas cart many times for the cost of 1 set of lithium batteries.
As for atomic carts, cute looking, didn’t like them after driving them.
Just my opinion.
