Even more shockingly, the "consensus on TOTV" probably doesn't carry all that much weight, in the world at large.

What is fact, is that Electric Carts far out-sell gasoline carts, everywhere in the USA & the world (I would be shocked if they didn't outsell gasoline carts in TV over the last 2 years).

Unfortunately, Yamaha seems to have now focused on producing Lithium Carts for their core customers ... golf courses. They don't offer a Lithium option, larger than 105 Amps.
I can't speak to electric carts at all. But when it comes to gas I bought a Yamaha.

My family has been in the powersports business since 1975. They sold Suzuki but now sell Kawasaki and Polaris. I currently own a Polaris General 1000 SxS, a Husky 125 motocross bike, as well as a Kawasaki KX 250 mx bike. Over the years I've owned a Harley Fatboy, numerous streetbikes, 2 jetskis, too many mx bikes to count, 2 Kawasaki SxS's and a few other street bikes. Yeah, I blew a lot of cash on toys. Lol.

When it comes to powersports and small engines, you can't beat Japanese quality, that's not up for debate. Even my brother will admit that Kawasaki's are better built than Polaris.

In the automobile business the US manufacturers have closed the gap for sure. But in gas golf carts, no way. Yamaha is better quality, hands down.
