Check them out if you’re in the market for a wonderful 90mile range lithium cart. You may be very surprised as we were….
While the carts look good, they will NOT get 90 miles on a charge. You will most likely get around 60-70 miles based on the battery they offer. Please don't just blindly repeat what the salesman or their brochure says. They all give a range that is unobtainable in the real world.

And while they may be $1,000's less, the Evolution D5 is $10K less than a comparable Star EV, EZ-GO, or Yamaha with more features. And it's from a reputable dealer. The Villages Discount Golf Cars has screwed over two different sets of customers in the past 5 years, and there is no reason to think that they won't do it again.
