I do not sell Par Car, but I have test driven a 2008 and 2009. Not sure the model, the one with the large tires. That like the EZGO (test drove also in Village of Mallory), puts you back in your seat and goes up hills at the same speed as level. When I test drive any cart I bring my GPS .

As far as range on a charge, IMO, be suspicious of range claims of any electric cart with less than (8) 6 volt batteries.
