You know, I believed this. My cart was having trouble moving - I'd hit the gas and nothing would happen. This occurred more and more often, til one day it just refused to go at all. While I was in the middle of the road. I had to push it into a parking lot and get it towed home. Called a guy who came and insisted it was a volt regulator, and that my battery was dead. So $200+ later, I had a new volt regulator, the battery was charged, and it seemed to work fine until a week later, when it started doing the same behaviors.
Called him after a couple of months of this delayed acceleration. He came and said this time it was the rear bushings. So he replaced them, for around $150.
Worked more or less fine, but then it started happening again. I got fed up and gave in and went to The Villages Golf Carts. They told me both front AND rear bushings were cracked, they replaced them all. They also tightened something on the throttle that had come loose, which might have been contributing to this problem.
Everything works great now. Yes their prices are nuts. But I'm paying for peace of mind. While they had my golf cart, I had one of theirs. Free loaners to anyone who has to leave their vehicle for the day. And if you bought the cart there, you get priority service and quicker appointments during the busy season.
