I currently own a Yamaha gas cart. I will change to electric when they attain about 90% of the reliability of gas.

Full disclosure: I will NEVER change to electric anything to "save the planet" from global warming---utter nonsense.
Yep, immerse yourself in this website and its search function as anything and everything that I want to know before and after I got here has been discussed at some point and I have found very informative. Once you get your answer, gas or electric then what about 4 vs 2 seater….see below.
