4-Forward seating with a 200ah+ lithium or sodium battery for under $8K is where I pull the trigger  |
The top speed on these carts can easily be changed in the controller. All you need is the right cable and software. I have them for the Evolution, should be easy to find for other brands (I see them listed for Icon, Yamaha, etc).
You'll most likely never see a sodium battery - it will be far too large and heavy for a golf cart (that is the current limitation for sodium - size and weight for the same output). Evolution uses LifeP04, which is currently the safest lithium battery built. The Denago also uses LifeP04.
The Evolution D5 Ranger currently lists for $9,495, and the larger battery is a $2K upgrade. Ends up about $10K less than a new fully configured Yamaha.
