Will you go through those particular tunnels? Would you go through them regularly or would an alternate path work for you?

I have seen many scrapes in the top of those shorter tunnels.

In another thread there was a discussion of being able to easily lower the top of one of the taller EVs. I believe it was the Evolution but I'm not sure. The Search function should be able to find it.

Personally, we chose the shorter cart because of those tunnels. Realistically, there are alternate routes that we could have taken the four times we've been up that way in the last two years.

Range: I have an EZGo so apples to oranges. I tried to reach the end of my battery but at 45 miles I was tired of sitting in the seat and gave up. Since then I have had one 42 mile day. I believe I would be able to get 60 miles (others argue that I can't) but I don't see us ever traveling that far anyway.
I have an EZGO Lithium and live at Linden by Monarch Grove. When I travel to Nancy Lopez if I don’t stay close to the middle on that one way cave tunnel with speed bumps the back of the roof will scrape. Fun at 0630 in the morning. I have tested the range and achieved 60 miles. Long day, hsd to drive around the neighborhood a few times. Agree i can go anywhere I need. We have a home at Annapolis and travel often. Have over 6k miles and don’t lose battery capacity. It plug it in the night before I venture out fir Early Bird golf. Has neve left me stranded.
