?????? Our three gas carts have been relatively maintenance free for over 8 years. With the exception of a blown leaf spring, nothing but very easy DIY annual tune ups that takes me about 20 minutes per cart. Electric carts also have leaf springs, and they are more likely to blow out with the battery weight.
