years ago Harley made great golf cars, problem was you couldn't kill them, they went out of business
Golf carts you push or pull, golf cars you drive.........terminology...carts is slang
When golf courses buy golf cars, the costs range from low of EZ-GO, mid of Yamaha, high of Club Car. Trade in value figures in as most courses trade every 5 while value is up. Club Car is also seen as a mark of a higher class of the club. Yamaha has made in roads, BUT,
most clubs buy electric and prefer club car. A golf car for 18 holes is only on for less than 30 minutes so it can go 36 holes.
That being said, get an extended range battery for the villages........or get gas to go fast, the noise will get you sooner or later, but you will ignore because you can go faster..vroom..............

I find it strange that in TV town that OLDER people want to drive gulf cars above 20 MPH, which is the posted speed limits in the residential neighborhoods. What's the point anyway? Is it some left over nostalgia from the teenage hot rod days. And like people say about the "jacked up" golf cars going 30 MPH, they are so LOUD that riding in one will give you a headache. Also the older ones STINK as they pass you by if you are out working in your yard and trying to listen to the radio. If The Villages were so DEVOTED to their residents as they would have you believe, they would REQUIRE Electric golf cars for less noise and pollution.
