I have a Plowman modified Yamaha gas cart up north. I would sure love a Yamaha 4-forward (concierge model) lithium cart!

Problem is that Yamaha is a bit like Toyota. They are very reliable but not very innovative. They constantly play catch up. All the new bells and whistles are in German cars, not Japanese cars.

Same with Yamaha jet skis. Very reliable but Sea-Doo has all the cool features.

Same with boat motors. Ya know the saying, "If you wanna get there fast, get a Mercury. If you wanna get there every time, get a Yamana."

Yamahas are very reliable, very sturdy, very "bulletproof" but innovative they are not. Several years behind other makes on bells and whistles. This, sadly, includes lithium carts.
