There are very few moving parts to wear on an electric cart...Maybe the motor end bearing and front wheel bearings. The transaxle will last close enough to forever. The EZGO RXV Elite uses reverse motor braking so no brake pads to wear.
I wonder what happens with the EZGO when the driver just "taps" the brake pedal to get a slight slowdown.It seems like that would confuse the engine and would it reverse for just a short time and then go back to forward. Apparently it works, but i don't see why not have regular friction brakes in combination with motor reversal ?
