The “C4” cart is amazing. 90 mile range with excellent lithium battery. Way too many features for me to list here. It’s truly like a Tesla.
I will not post the price of the new cart, but it is such a bargain.
Our sales rep was David Bailey, a very nice man- no pressure at all. Lots of colors avail and either black or tan seats.
We’ve had ours for a month now and so very impressed. And their service and prep is wonderful.
Highly recommend to check out the Custom Drive carts there. More info customdrive.com. Here’s a pic from their site.
I offer this information solely to assist others that may be in the market for a great Lithium Electric golf cart. Their # 352 633 4440. Or David at 401 345 7620

Part of the bargain price you paid is that your cart does not have a canvas enclosure for when it rains. I'm certain that Villages Discount has them available. Unless you want to arrive at your destination looking like a cat that was dunked in the swimming pool, you'll need the enclosure.
I'm glad that you are happy with your purchase. I expect that lithium battery carts will dominate the market in the not-too-distant future. People seem to be overly concerned about a cart's "range". In reality, the range of an old lead-acid 48V cart is more than sufficient for all reasonable purposes, provided it is charged every night. There are few people like Serge who drive their cart from Dabney to Spanish Springs and back. That is akin to cruel and unusual punishment in any brand of cart.
The concern about the newness of the manufacturer and the future availability of parts is legitimate. My bigger concern is that, with the exception of the very expensive Tomberlin, I've not found a cart, other than the Yamaha with independent rear suspension, that doesn't ride like an unsprung buckboard (the truth be known, even the Yamaha isn't all that smooth over bumps)
