Electric is nice, but the gas ones are very quiet these days.
Yours is quiet because they seal off the engine area so you don’t hear the engine noise. The problem with that is that an Air Cooled Engine needs Air in order to Cool. Probably fine if you are just playing a close by 9 hole Executive course, but not good if you are running from say Spanish Springs to Southern Star for a tee time. Doing that, the engine will run Hot - too Hot - but of course they weren’t designed for that anyway.
